The purpose of this paper is to provide a critical evaluation of the research study titled

program for nurses” by Hersch, et al, (2016). All contributing authors are PhD prepared and two

qualified to conduct this study. This analysis will include identification and explanation of the
research problem, purpose, research question, hypothesis, theoretical framework, variables, and
research design. Additionally, the paper will also provide a literature review.
Literature Review
The title of the study is not clear and concise because it does not identify the type of
study. However, the title does provide, Variables: Stress and Population Identification: Nurses
(Hersch et al., 2016). The abstract provides the study’s purpose : to evaluate the effectiveness of
the web-based BREATHE: Stress Management for Nurses program; Method: A Randomized
control trial of 104 nurses; and Results: program group displayed significant reduction than
control group on the Nurse Stress Scale (Hersch et al., 2016).
The clinical problem identified in the study is the high levels of stress nurses are subject
to while working (Hersch et al., 2016). Being consistently exposed to high levels of stress leads
to damaging effects on nurse’s health and well-being (Hersch et al., 2016). Several primary
sources from the past 25 years were cited in support of the negative impact of high stress levels
in nursing (Hersch et al., 2016). The sources revealed high level of stress is associated with poor
health and absenteeism (Hersch et al., 2016). The source of stress in nursing was identified as
work shift, death of a patient, heavy workload, powerlessness, and work environment (Hersch et
al., 2016).
