Assimilate, analyze, critique, and summarize an original research articles. In other words, select a report of a single, original study.

Requirements

Through this assignment, the student will

  1. Conduct a systematic search of relevant databases to find research-based evidence related to a nursing problem
  2. Construct a summary table of four peer-reviewed quantitative single original studies, indicating the purpose, sample, design/level of evidence, findings, and limitations of each and
  3. Summarize the findings of the four studies as a whole

 

Preparing the Table

Conduct a PICO(T) search on the nursing problem that was previously identified (see Attached document concerning falls), discussion questions or a nursing problem related to your practice setting. Select the four most recent peer-reviewed studies that describe original research in a single study (do not select a meta-analysis, systematic review of research, or integrative literature review).

 

Construct a table summarizing the four most credible and recent studies, using the Research Summary template. Analyze each article and provide the following information in brief format: purpose of the study; type of sample and number of participants; design of the study, along with the level of evidence; findings of the study; and limitations of the study.

 

Preparing the Summary

Briefly (4-6 pages; not including cover page and reference page(s)) summarize the results of the four studies as a whole. Follow this outline:

 

              I.        In a short paragraph, restate your research question and describe your search strategy. (10 points)

            II.        Describe the designs used in the studies that you are providing. Where do these studies fall on the Levels of Evidence table in Lessons 1 & 2? (20 points)

           III.        Based on these studies, what are the findings? What is the answer to the research question? Do the studies fail to answer the question, and if so, why not? (10 points)

          IV.        Comment on how the sample was selected and on the number of participants. Are they adequate? Why or why not? (10 points)

            V.        Overall, what are the limitations of the study, and how can these limitations be overcome in subsequent studies? (10 points)

          VI.        Based on these findings, is the evidence that you found on your topic strong enough to suggest a change in practice or an idea for practice? Please provide a rationale for your answer. (10 points)

 

Provide your references, formatted in APA style, after the summary. Include the doi number for each article. Submit a permalink of each article you have chosen for this assignment (directions on how to obtain a permalink are located in the Course Resource section).
