Introduction
The assignment highlights a critical appraisal of the researches related to Pressure injury, its related theories, philosophies, methodologies, which is followed thereby under the guidance of CASP (Critical Appraisal Skills Programme). This paper will also focus the critical analysis of the research articles, discussion is done in depth and justification of the methodologies as well as the methods is clearly examined.
As stated by Long, French and Brooks (2020), CASP can be defined as the tool, which is highly used for quality appraisal in health-related qualitative evidence synthesis. The thesis statement of this paper is that it highlights the major concept of Pressure injury, its prevention and management as well as the nurse’s and health staff’s role for the betterment in this regard. The steps in CASP are to study the validity of qualitative papers, their methodologies, results and the way, the results helped locally.
The research paper with its articles should be identified clearly at the beginning of this paper, which would end with a summary with a review in order to demonstrate the students well developed understanding of the paper. Through this paper, the students will learn about the various aspects of Pressure injury, its treatment, nurse’s role, impact, strength as well as weaknesses, impact and management.
Identifying the Research: Pressure Injury: Prevention and Management
Pressure injury is a kind of bedsore or pressure ulcers, which are caused by injured skins. Pressure injury takes place when a force is applied on the surface of the injured skin. In order to keep the skin protected from bed sore certain preventions are needed observing the risk factors, the impact, the complications, the nutritional evaluations and the various aetiology are to be kept in mind (Jackson et al., 2017).
The hospital management should thereby follow certain methodologies in order to keep their patients free from pressure injuries in order to gain positive feedback from the patient party. The role of the Nurses in this case is very essential; as they are the one who can guide the patient and provide the best treatment, they needed in this regard (Barakat-Johnson et al., 2019).
Critical Appraisal of the Papers Related to Pressure Injury Using CASP tool

Barakat-Johnson M., Lai M., Wand T., White, K. (2019) A qualitative study of the thoughts and experiences of hospital nurses providing pressure injury prevention and management, Collegian 26:95-102 documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:bda897be-f1c2-4f0c-819e-c05e39623ec3
The paper by Barakat-Johnson et al. (2019) can be considered as a valid paper because it has an appropriate aim, which underlines the experiences of the nurse who deal with the prevention and management in the hospital settings. This paper has used qualitative methodology appropriately for this research as the nurses here have a high evidence of pressure injury across the local health district. This paper highlights a critical appraisal of the researches related to Pressure injury, the nurse’s roles, their philosophies, methodologies, which is followed thereby under the guidance of CASP (Critical Appraisal Skills Programme).
It is worthy to continue with this research paper work as it provides a qualitative design aim where the participants were interviewed either individually or in a group making the strategies of the recruitment appropriate to the aim of the research. The data has been collected through several semi-structured interviews comprising of the open-ended questions and demographic by the author in order to allow the in-depth experiences of the nurses.
The relationship between the researchers and the participants has been adequately considered. The study has been approved ethically as each participant’s consent were obtained. In order to analyse the data rigorously the framework includes criticality, authenticity, credibility, and integrity.
The findings were clearly mentioned. In order to improve the findings for the local context the researchers should deal the matter more carefully and provide relevant materials. This research is valuable as it provides every data clearly and specifically. In order to justify the above reason, Tirgari et al. (2018) opined that the nurses should be asked to do inquiry why the pressure injury took place and what measures should be taken accordingly.

The paper by Jackson et al. (2017) can be considered as a valid paper because it has an appropriate aim, which studies the deep insight into the severe pain related with the pressure injury. This paper has used the qualitative methodologies appropriately, which includes several surveys, systematic reviews in order to highlight the pain associated with the pressure injury. As the design of the research is based on the concu
ent mixed methodology, it thereby highlights the aim of the paper.
The data has been collected through several qualitative interviews involving the home dwelling adult participants. The relationship between the researcher and the participants are not clearly mentioned. The strategies whether appropriate for this research or not is not a
uptly mentioned. The ethical issues are taken into consideration as the participants described their pain and it maintained a thematic content analysis.
No rigorous framework is mentioned clearly. The findings were clearly mentioned, which states that the pain has a serious impact on the activities, mobility, sleep and daily living of the people. In order to improve the findings in term of local context the researchers should handle the participants more tactfully. This research is valuable as it provides appropriate study aim with relevant findings. In order to justify the stated objectives, as suggested by Strazzieri‐Pulido et al. (2019), the pain for pressure injury should be assessed more professionally and the assessment tool for pressure injury patients should be developed.

The paper by McCaughan et al. (2018) can be considered as a valid paper because it has an appropriate objective with the sole purpose of surgical wound that are
ought together with staples, glues, adhesives or sutures. The paper has used the qualitative methodologies, which is design in a descriptive approach. The recruitment strategies were appropriate as the participants were recruited from acute and community nursing services in their locations.
Data were thematically interpreted within a framework, which includes familiarisation, charting, coding and interpretations of the recognised themes, cross comparisons of the data. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and the relationship between researchers and the participants are clearly mentioned.
Ethical issues were taken into consideration and have approved by government. The data were sufficiently rigorous and the findings were clearly mentioned. It therefore, provides certain valuable research methodologies. In order to justify the stated objectives, as suggested by Tirgari et al. (2018), special...
