Research Paper on:
Effect of Patients Call Light Use

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
a need to using the call lights. Speaker Notes: The hypothesis for this study is clearly stated in the text of the research article and is  identified as: Patients would prefer seeing more nursing staff rounds than having a need to using the call lights. The researchers utilized a self-report measure to determine the  level of satisfaction reported by patients in relation to the use of the rounds systems and especially identified problem events, including reports of bed sores and falls that resulted in  the use of call lights. This hypothesis was presented in conjunction with the overarching research question of how to improve patient satisfaction by reducing negative events. Conceptual  Model Frequent Nursing Round System (NRS) reduces patient call light use. Speaker Notes: The conceptual model is based on the belief that more frequent nursing round  system (NRS) would reduce patients call lights. The model also links the perceptions of satisfaction to traits of nursing staff who are providing rounds and the overall quality of care  perceived by the patient.
