This is a 150 word response.  Must 2 scholarly nursing articles within the last 5 years to reply to these posts.    1st respond , Developing any part of a research study has it challenges. For a novice researcher, they may find it to be a little extra difficult due to their lack of experience. However, this should not stop a novice researcher from engaging in research studies. If a novice researcher is asked to develop a new tool to collect patient data, the novice researcher must first perform a literature review and establish a framework (Brannan, Dumsha & Yens, 2013). Once these are done, then creating the method for the study including the tool to collect data is next. The researcher should keep the design of the study simple and standardized but detailed enough that other researchers would be able to duplicate the study exactly (Brannan et al, 2013).  Because anxiety is a feeling that can only be self-reported, collecting data in a narrative or qualitative format would be ideal. According to Rose and Devine (2014), anxiety measuring instruments can be generic or specific depending on the anxiety. Since the peer or manager is specifically wanting data about anxiety prior to the procedure, a the more specific questionnaire tool should be used.
