A research paradigm could be considered as a framework based on people´s philosophies and assumptions about current knowledge. The paradigm guides how research should be accomplished and there are mainly two fundamental paradigms that are used; positivism and interpretivism (Collis and Hussey, 2014).

The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the association between the nursing staff’s average call-light response time and patient-initiated call-light use rate in a community hospital. The method utilized was retrieving archived data from the call-light tracking system between February 2007 and June 2008. Results of the study revealed that staff call-light response time was longer when the call-light use rate was higher and when the length of stay for a patient was shorter. Additionally
