Introduction According to a recent study, the number of mobile devices worldwide has increased by almost 8 percent since 2013 (Statista, 2016). The research findings also reveal that around 61 percent of the world’s population used mobile phones in 2015 (Statista, 2016). It is estimated that this number will increase by 6 percent in 2019 (Statista, 2016). The figures for the United States were even higher. Around 74 percent of the American population owned a smartphone in 2015 (Statista, 2016). The growth of mobile usage and IT consumerization has led many industries to adopt Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies that would encourage their employees to use private mobile phones in the workplace (Marshall, 2014). This paper will examine the use of personal electronic devices for work-related purposes in the clinical setting. Hypotheses: Research and Null The study hypothesis is that the use of personal mobile devices by registered nurses increases their ability to make clinical decisions regarding patient care. The null hypothesis is that the use of personal mobile devices by registered nurses does not impact their ability to make clinical decisions regarding patient care. Experimental confirmation of the study hypothesis will determine the success of the application of the scientific method to the problem-solving. Outcomes The expected outcome of the study is to gather qualitative data that will confirm the potential of BYOD policy to positively impact patient care. Theoretical Framework The basis of the theoretical assumption of this research is the results of the study conducted by Phillippi and Wyatt (2011). According to the researchers, the easy access to educational materials and professional guidelines in clinical settings can be facilitated by the use of smartphones (Phillippi and Wyatt, 2011). Another study shows that the use of mobile phones can increase the efficiency of interprofessional communication between clinicians (Wu et al., 2011). It also suggests that personal electronic devices can help nurses and other health care professionals in the clinical decision-making process through the aid of clinical decision support tools. Moreover, research conducted by Chatterley and Chojecki (2010) reveals that medical students prefer the use of personal smartphones over other handheld devices for access to professional data. Method The study requires a group of clinical nurses that will participate in the study. Simple random sampling will be used to obtain a required sample. The randomization method will allow us to rule out some of the possible extraneous variables, such as the extensive previous experience of working in the nursing field. The research will be designed as a primary study and will require first-hand data from the participants (Saunders, Lewis, & Thornhill, 2009). Setting Considering the limited amount of resources available to the researcher, it will be impossible to conduct this study in more than one health care facility. Therefore, only one clinic will be chosen for the research based on geographic proximity to the investigator. Data Collection In order to increase response and participation rates, online questionnaires will be used for the purpose of data collection (ESRC, 2007).
