Running Head: LITERATURE REVIEW LITERATURE REVIEW Lilisbet Alonso Florida National University Prof: Claudia Davis PhD, RN -BC June 10, 2020 NURSING RESEARCH 2 1.1 LITERATURE REVIEW This chapter will intensely discuss the existing knowledge in this similar area of research. This will look into obesity causes, health and economic effects, steps, and programs to fight obesity and, finally, the importance of these programs. Obesity causes and effects Obesity results from a combination of factors, individual and genetic factors together with additional contributing factors in the society. On individual factors, the behavior is the leading cause of obesity with low physical activity, lack or excess sleep, energy intake in excess of the energy body needs, psychological conditions, and genet ics. On low physical exercise, there has been a decline in time for sports and physical exercises in schools, which is a major cause behind obesity in children, with physical exercise associated with 23% -43% obesity risk management in children (Anrig, 2003 ). In adults, the working lifestyle with no time for physical activity is associated with the high cases of obesity in the world (Donnelly et al., 2009). Recent research shows excess calorie intake is almost a sure way to obesity and caloric restriction re mains a crucial approach to clinical weight loss and weight management. Genetics can contribute to obesity, but this is very minimal, with only 1% of cases being linked to hormonal causes (Neiman, 2004). Mental health has also been linked to obesity cases being on the rise with negative feelings that push one into depression, and most individuals turn into food for comfort. Obesity is linked to vascular dementia risks in midlife by increasing this risk by 26% -35%. Recent research in the united states shows that obese male individuals incur an extra $1152 annually, while female NURSING RESEARCH 3 individuals incur an extra $3613 annually on medical bills associated with obesity as compared to their other non -obese counterparts. (Cawley & Meyerhoefer, 2012) Programs to fight ob esity and their importance The programs in place mainly feature deepened research into obesity and obesity mitigation in the future. The AFRI childhood obesity prevention challenge area is a program in the united states that focuses on obesity problems and other nutritional challenges (Koenings et al., 2016). This program is of major significance since, in 2010, 17% of children within the age range of 2 -19 years were linked to obesity. This program has been a major step to reduce cases of child obesity in t he U.S. Another program is, the regional nutrition education program and obesity prevention centers of excellence (RNECE), which was started to help in the dissemination of nutritional information to help combat obesity crisis (Brewer et al., 2015). this p rogram has been majorly used in improving food and physical activity behaviors among the low -income members of the society in the united states. According to Brewer et al., with the right information, the population is well equipped to reduce obesity cases while also preventing it (2015). 2.2 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Introduction This chapter will briefly discuss the methodology which is used in the research, the process used to collect the data from different sources such as identifying the relevant literature review by finding a number of articles and academic journals on this similar area of research. This chapter also discuss es the process used to analyze the collected data and the procedure used to collect the NURSING RESEARCH 4 data from empirical findings, the process that is to be followed to achieve the findings is outlined in detail in the data analysis section. Research Method The me thod used to complete the research study is based on both the qualitative and quantitative approaches to data acquisition. This is through the use of questionnaires, interviews, and earlier research done in this field. Personal interviews and telephone int erviews with nurses in the industry are conducted to determine the impact of obesity on the nursing career. In some cases, questionnaires on nurses are also used, and feedback is used as a source of data. Interviews and questionnaires on obese individuals are also carried out to try and find answers to the set research questions. To acquire quantitative data, a literature review is used to obtain the national average number of individuals struggling with obesity and the economic consequences associated with this. This research aims to come with the causes and effects of obesity on both individuals and nurses providing services in the healthcare system. This research is also to establish the weight management programs that can be put to combat obesity in the populat ion. Design of study Data from the 2017 -2018 center for disease control and prevention is used to get the statistics of the obese population. This report also looks at the obesity statistics by CDC for 1999 -2000 and comes up with the percentage increase i n cases of obesity in the population. This is used to make predictions for future population statistics expected to be struggling with obesity if this issue is not solved and continues increasing. NURSING RESEARCH 5 Using the CDC report of 2008, it is also used to establish the economic consequences associated with obesity in the population. In this one, the research compares the medical bill associated with obese individuals as compared to other individuals in the population. It is also used to predict future savings on medi cal bills that could be made from the elimination of obesity challenges in society. The research also establishes the economic impact of obesity from individuals struggling with obesity. Finally, there is data collection from healthcare systems to establi sh the economic impact on these facilities from handling obesity issues. This article also establishes the obesity and overweight management programs available to deal with the obesity crisis. This looks into statistics of available local and state progra ms in place to fight obesity in society. The already taken steps by these programs are established as we also focus on the weaknesses of these programs and what further steps could be taken to deal with the obesity crisis. Finally, the interviews and quest ionnaires are used to establish qualitative data on the obesity issue and come up with suggestions from nurses and individuals on what could be done to reduce obesity cases. Data collection Prior to the documentation of the report, the collection of data is started by framing a literature review; a number of journals and research papers were referred to find and follow the procedure for data acquisition. A qualitative research method is used to gather all the data which is required to full fill the object ives of the present research study. The primary data collection method is based on interviews and questionnaires, mainly. A questionnaire is formulated to help the members of the community give us data on the nutrition practices on a daily basis. A questi onnaire to nurses is used to establish the impact of obese cases on their practice and the frequency of coming around an obese case. Telephone interviews with nurses are also used in qualitative data collection. NURSING RESEARCH 6 Quantitative data is gathered based on secon dary sources available that look into the statistics of obesity in the United States. There is also the use of national health reports on nutrition. Qualitative data acquisition is used to get the numbers that are affected by obesity versus the number of available nurses nationally in a move to compare the two and establish a greater number between the two. America The quantitative research method is also used in establishing the economic consequences associated with obesity in the community. This will esta blish the extra cost that is predicted to be associated with obesity and the benefits that can be obtained by eliminating this extra cost by combating obesity. The sampling methodology There is the use of different sampling methods to obtain informatio n on obesity and the effects associated with this. Considering it is not possible to collect information from every individual in a group, only part of the group individuals can answer to interviews and questionnaires. The methods used to sample individual s from a group of people are random, systematic, and stratified. Random sampling is used in interviews and questionnaire administration to nurses in healthcare. There is also the use of systematic sampling of obese individuals in conducting the interview a nd questionnaire administration. The system sampling used is an interview for one individual out of every four individuals we encountered in healthcare facilities. On stratified sampling, an interview is done on every chief nurse in a healthcare facility t o help bring out the bigger picture associated with the obesity issue. Necessary tools NURSING RESEARCH 7 The research instruments used in this research are questionnaires and interviews for qualitative data collection. Surveys are also used to obtain quantitative data fr om secondary sources. Telephone calls are also used for the virtual interview to obtain primary research data on obesity. Summary In brief, this chapter has discussed the method of research that is employed to obtain the findings and the methods used i n collecting data, design of the study of the collected data is also briefly discussed in this chapter. The data obtained in this chapter will be discussed in detail in the next chapter of findings of the final findings of the present research study on obe sity.

Running head: NURSING RESEARCH 1 Nursing Research Lilisbet Alonso Florida National University Prof: Claudia Davis PhD, RN -BC May 28, 2020 NURSING RESEARCH 2 Nursing research Obesity and Weight Management Programs Introduction to the Problem The problem under investigation in this research is the issue of obesity and weight management. This topic was selected because it the issues is affecting many people today around the world and most significantly in the United States. Thousands of people w orldwide are dying from obesity and overweight related illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure among many others (Obesity & weight control: Health risks, weight loss & bariatric surgery, n.d.). Therefore, it has a huge impact on the healthc are system since it has increased the problems that healthcare professionals and facilities are facing. Hospitals are now congested mainly due to diet related illnesses, obesity being at the top of the list, which causes short staffing due to the increasin g patients numbers relative to providers’ numbers. The providers, especially nurses, may then suffer from burnout and thus affecting the quality of care that they provide. Several weight management programs have then been created in order to tackle the ser ious problem of obesity. Therefore, conducting a proper research on obesity and weight management programs is very crucial since it will help in providing in -depth understanding of the whole issue and thus useful in developing and implementing ways that ca n curb the problem by proper implementation of these programs. This will improve the conditions of healthcare facilities and eventually the quality of care provided. The Problem NURSING RESEARCH 3 The problem is obesity and weight management programs. Obesity is a medical condition that occurs when an individual has excess body fat or weight that might have some significant effect on his or her health (Hu, 2008). On the other hand, weight management is the process of embracing long -term lifestyle modification to keep a heal thy body weight on depending on the age, gender, and height of an individual. They include methods such as eating heathy food and increasing the levels of physical activity. Weight management programs are then the initiatives that are created in controllin g the weight of individuals in order to control such conditions as obesity. Managing one’s weight through these programs is very important part of their health because they avoid being overweight and obese to reduce the risks of medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and stroke. The intake of diet considered unhealthy, lack of physical exercise and practicing unhealthy lifestyles such as too much intake of alcohol, smoking may lead to increase in weight, and thus a person is considered overweight. This is when the body contains too much body fat above the required amount. Obesity then occurs after being overweight when the calorie intake of a person goes higher than the amount of energy that is burnt off every day. This obesi ty issue is then being mitigated in many countries through the weight management programs. The programs are categorized into three many groups that include, clinical, non -clinical, and do -it-yourself programs (The National Academies Press, n.d.). Significa nce of the problem to Nursing Obesity has become a pandemic in the United States and many healthcare professionals including nurses have considered being the most pressing issues of health currently. It has become the top of the priorities in the US since about two -thirds of adults are either obese or overweight. Since nurses have the most important role in health care, they are most affected by this epidemic and are also in the forefront of managing the problem because they responsible for implementing NURSING RESEARCH 4 the programs in the facilities and among their patients. Nurses are affected by obesity in that it increases the number of patient they attend that might wear them out, as they are required to provide care to many patient beyond their ability. This then affec ts the quality of care that they provide and may eventually result in poor patient outcomes. Moreover, obesity may complicate the basic nursing interventions to the affected patients such as skin care, resuscitation and assessment measures, intravenous acc ess, altered drug absorption, and respiratory challenges. Therefore, these professionals should take action in becoming more informed concerning obesity and to put themselves in a position as the educators and role models to their patient and their familie s as well as the community (Rowen, 2009). Besides, nurses play a significant role in ensuring the success of the weight management programs since they can effectively implement them and educate their patients concerning these programs in order to manage th eir weight and avoid health complications. Purpose of the research The purpose of this research is to identify the health risks and effects of overweight and obesity in people, and the essential role of obesity and weight management programs . For example, individuals who are overweight or obese are at an increased risk of developing serious illnesses. Besides, it may lead to many chronic conditions. The conditions are such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, stroke, coronary heart disease, or high levels of triglycerides, cholesterol (The health effe cts of overweight and obesity, 2020 ). It also causes diseases such as gallbladder disease, mental illnesses such as anxiety, and depression. There are also breathing problems and sleep apnea, including body pain a nd physical functioning difficulties. There are essential programs such as do -it-yourself, nonclinical, and clinical programs. The programs. The programs have a variety of interventions, which include the treatment intensity, NURSING RESEARCH 5 cost, and the degree of the i nvolvement (Programs for and a pproaches to treating obesity, n.d.) . The do it yourself programs are individually formulated. Hence, they involve varying interventions. The category involves any form of effort, which an individual does, to loose weight by h erself or himself. For example, an individual may decide to loose weight by decreasing the amounts of calorie intake. In the case of the nonclinical programs, they are often franchised commercially. They are often developed by a company, and often involve guidance and instructional materials, which are typically prepared in consultation with the health care providers. Besides, such programs are often managed by licensed or qualified health care providers (Programs for and approaches to treating obesity, n.d .). In the case of the clinical programs, they involve programs which hare provided by a licensed professional. The professional may or be or may not be part of a system of a commercial franchise. Hence, the services are provided by an individual professio nal. Research questions The research question is essential in enquiring about overweight and obesity management programs. The research question will enhance efficient groundwork for the entire research process; hence, it requires good research questions t o prevent the research from suffering from errors. The research questions are such as:  Is obesity a serious problem?  What are some of the factors, which cause or expose one to obesity?  Is obesity harmful to an individual ‘s health?  What are some of the eco nomic consequences of obesity and overweight in society? NURSING RESEARCH 6  What are some of the steps to be taken to fight obesity?  What is the importance of obesity an d overweight management programs?  What are some of the interventions employed by management programs for overweight and obesity? The questions will help in providing a focus on the entire research process. They also decide on what direction the research takes. Moreover, they enhance the identification of resources, such as other scholarly studies, as reference materials. Master’s Essentials that aligned with your topic Some of the master’s essentials, which aligned with my topic: obesity and weight management programs are such as quality improvement and safety, clinical prevention, and population health for imp roving health. Therefore, continuous quality improvement in the management of the area of overweight and obesity in the healthcare organization is essential (A guide to baccal aureate education for nursing, 2015 ). For instance, the skills and knowledge concerning the management of overweight and obesity, enhance quality care. Hence, improve safety among individuals. Moreover, quality improvement through evidence -based practice, in areas concerning the management of obesity and overweight is essential for the welfare of the people. In the case of clinical prevention and populat ion health for improving health, it focuses on the prevention and treatment of illnesses, such as chronic diseases, communicable diseases, including the health disparity and inequity (A guide to baccalaureate education for nursing, 2015) . Most chronic illnesses are often caused by obesity and overweight. Hence, implementation of clinical prevention and population health activities is important in ensuring the safety of the people.

Running head: PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION – RESEARCH ON OBESITY AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT 1 Project Implementation – Research on Obesity and Weight Management Lilisbet Alonso Florida National University Prof: Claudia Davis PhD, RN -BC July 6, 2020 PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION – RESEARCH ON OBESITY AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT 2 Project implementation – Research on obesity and weight management Introduction The implementation phase of the research on obesity and weight management is essential. The problem which will be under investigation is obesity and weight management among individuals in the united states of America. Moreover, many people in the world are dying from overweight and obesity -related conditions, which include cancer, diabetes, hypertension, among many others (The health effects of overweight and obesity, 2020) . Hence, it has increased challenges facing the healthcare system since the hospitals are congested due to the inflow and admission of patients who are affected by overweight and obesity conditions. Consequently, the healthcare professionals, including the nurses, suffer from burnouts due to a large number of such patients to be attended t o. Therefore, implementation of the research on overweight and obesity conditions and the impact of overweight and obesity management programs will be beneficial to reduce such conditions among the populations in the United States of America. The execution s of the implementation phase of a research project are often the longest process. Hence, for an effective implementation process, there are management steps or processes such as cost, time, risks, change, and quality (Project executing processes, n.d.) . O ther management proces ses involved are customer acceptance, procurement, and communications. Time management Time management will involve the control and monitoring time within the Project. Hence, time management will involve the required time spent for every activity. For example, it involves the time, which the researchers will take to build the deliverables wi thin the Project (Project executing processes, n.d.) . Therefore, time management will enhance the assurance of completion of a PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION – RESEARCH ON OBESITY AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT 3 particular task within the required period. Hence, it will help in controlling the time spent on various activities within the re search project. There are important factors within the time management to be observed (Lima, Mesquita, & Fernandes, 2012) . For example, timesheets will be used to monitor the time spent by the researchers. Time management issues will be identified and reso lved. A process for recording time within the Project will be put in place ( 8. Planning and implementation, n.d.) . The project plan will be kept up to date, during al time of the entire project implementation process. The following is an example of a sched ule for the research project: Schedule Day Activity Participants Day one to day three Identification of statistical concepts, basic sampling theories, and exercises Researchers and statisticians Day four to day thirteen Data compilation, which will be used in case studies. Editing of the collected information, generating guidelines for the general quantitative and qualitative format, including the structure of the data collection. We are engaged in discussions concernin g data collection problems and field activities. Researchers, data collectors, and statisticians. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION – RESEARCH ON OBESITY AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT 4 Day fourteen to day nineteen A computer system, which will operate with a database of reference tables, including samples of landings, frame surveys, and even the boat activities. Computation of the initial variance and estimates. Case studies and exercises with the actual data from the full scale or pilot surveys. Information system operators, statisticians, and researchers Day twenty to day twenty -five Exercise including case studies with the actual data from full -scale or pilot surveys. Reporting techniques. Researchers, statisticians, including other information system operators users. Cost management The process of cost management will help in mon itoring and even reporting all the project expenses , which are within the Project. The research team will record the costs, with the help of expense forms. The forms will then be reviewed and approved by the project managers, before the expense items, whic h will be purchased (Project executing processes, n.d.) . The process of cost management will ensure that the expenses for the Project are approved, especially before any purchasing is done, identify each of the initial costs within the Project, including k eeping a central record of all costs incurred and control the overall cost of the Project. Hence, it will generally help PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION – RESEARCH ON OBESITY AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT 5 in controlling the expenses in the course of the project implementation (8. Planning and implementation, n.d.) . Besides, it will ensure that only the approved purchases of expenses take place to ensure efficient use of project finances, hence prevent running out of finances. The following is the table showing the intended project activities’ cost: Costs Initial investment Recurring costs Pilot system design cost Analysis of the working practices and needs assessment Travel allowance and salaries for the data collectors, support staff, the supervisors, and the encoders. Acquisition of computing units, including software. Maintenance and support costs for all the equipment. Transportation, and vessels, and others items acquisition. Maintenance and operational costs Office equipment and materials acquisition, for preparation of the survey. Information dissemination, including preparat ion of reports and publications. Training on all levels to start the program Organization and running the workshops, including training programs for management of overweight and obesity conditions. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION – RESEARCH ON OBESITY AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT 6 Quality management The quality management process will enhance the improvement of the quality of the project team members in the development of deliverables. Hence, quality management will help to boost the quality of deliverables and achieve total success. Consequently, it will enhance the fulfillment of essential factors such as setting quality targets to be met by the Project’s tea members, takes appropriate actions, which will be needed to measure the levels of quality, report on the overall quality achieved, and identify the quality improvements and issues. It is important to note that, through the quality management process, other activities such as quality assurance, quality control, quality improvement, and quality management can be undertaken (8. Planning and implemen tation, n.d.) . Hence, it will lead to efficient research on overweight and obesity among individuals and identify efficient management of such conditions. Change management The change management process will help in managing any forms of changes within the Project. Change management. This step will make it easier to easily monitor and control the amount of change, which takes place. Moreover, it will enhance the identificati on of requests for change, confirming each change’s feasibility, control how change is undertaken, and management of change approval (8. Planning and implementation, n.d.) . Hence, any forms of change will be managed effectively. Hence, it is not that the f orms of change will not be prevented from happening, but it is the management of change once it occurs, especially those that matter for the success of the Project. Risk management PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION – RESEARCH ON OBESITY AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT 7 The risk management process will help in engaging in steps, which are esse ntial in implementing risk management in the course of the Project. Consequently, it enhances meeting the objectives of the project, by mitigating any forms of risks, which may occur (Project executing processes, n.d.) . The risk management process will typ ically involve identification of the critical and non -critical risks, documentation of each risk through completion of the risk forms, logging all the risks in depth through completion of risk forms, taking actions to decrease the likelihood of occurrence of risk and reduction of the impact of risk on the project, in case the risk eventuates (8. Planning and implementation, n.d.) . Hence, through the risk management step, the risk will be identified, monitored, and controlled. Issue management The issue ma nagement step involves the identification and resolution of issues in the implementation phase of the Project. Hence through the issue management process, the issue will be easily be identified and resolved quickly before they cause any forms of impacts, w hich may be undesirable (8. Planning and implementation, n.d.) . The issue management process will enhance identification and recording of projects issues clearly, using the issue forms in proper issue documentation, determination of the impact of each issu e, prioritization of issues including reporting their actual status, reviewing the issues so that the course of actions can be decided, and taking appropriate steps to resolve the issues quickly. Procurement management The procurement step will help in the purchasing of goods, including services, particularly from the external suppliers. Hence, the procurement process provides a step -by -step way of purchasing from the appropriate suppliers (8. Planning and implementatio n, n.d.) . Moreover, it will make it PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION – RESEARCH ON OBESITY AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT 8 easier to identify the goods and services to be procured, complete the purchase orders and issue to the suppliers, agree on the delivery timeframes including methods, review and accept the items procured and approval of the payments of the suppliers (Lima, Mesquita, & Fernandes, 2012) . Therefore, the procurement step ensures the availability of items needed for the implementation of the Project. Acceptance management The acceptance process involves ensuring that the deliv erables produced by the Project’s team members meet the needs of the customers. Hence, during the acceptance process, the deliverables are reviewed by the research participants and formally accepted by them, incases the deliverables meet their needs (8. Pl anning and implementation, n.d.) . Therefore, the acceptance process will perform efficient user acceptance testing, user acceptance forms to document the initial results and communicate the acceptance testing results. Communications management The communi cation process will help in undertaking communication among the project team members. Hence, it will help in keeping the right people to be informed at the right time (Project executing processes, n.d.) . Therefore, the communication process will enhance th e identification of the messages to be sent to particular individuals, determine the target audience for communication, decide on the timing and format of the message, communicate the message through the communication events ad gather feedback, and even im prove the communication process. Phase review PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION – RESEARCH ON OBESITY AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT 9 It is the final step of the implementation phase. It will help in the documentation of the results of the project, especially at the end of the execution phase (Project executing processes, n.d.) . It will be co nducted to help measure the deliverables produced by the research project.
