Assignment:
The nurse proposes the study of vaginal birth after cesarean birth (VBAC). It seems that once women have cesarean birth the first time, the use of repeat cesarean is typically done. As the nurse looked in the issue, found that most times a repeat cesarean birth is chosen for convenience of the physician or the mother. (Charles, S. 2012). There are many factors that should affect the use VBAC besides convenience of schedule. The purpose of the study is to look into safety of mother and infant when attempting VBAC.
The nurse proposes to use a retrospective cohort design using a quantitative framework with simple random sampling form the area hospitals. "Traditional quantitative research is a formal, objective systematic process where numerical data is used to describe, examine and determine effectiveness of treatments" (Burns & Grove, 2011, p. 20,34). Outcomes research focuses on the end results of patient care; it is used to appraise quality of care, uses scientific approaches that are different from traditional research. Outcomes research uses three major concepts of theory, health, subjects of care, and providers of care (Burns & Grove, 2011)
