In nursing practice, accurate identification and application of research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. The ability to articulate research data and summarize relevant content supports the student's ability to further develop and synthesize the assignments that constitute the components of the capstone project.
The assignment will be used to develop a written implementation plan.
For this assignment, provide a synopsis of the review of the research literature. Using the "Literature Evaluation Table," determine the level and strength of the evidence for each of the eight research articles you have selected. The articles should be current (within the last 5 years) and closely relate to the PICOT question developed earlier in this course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A systematic review may be used to provide background information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
Assignment 2: Journal Article Critique
Due Date: After you have completed Unit 8
Expectation: 625-700 words (not including title page and references), based on a template, using APA Style.
Instructions
You are required to complete a journal article critique based on an article in the list below. This assignment is designed to help you read a research article correctly and efficiently, and to practice using APA Style. These skills will be valuable in completing the research paper later in the course. This assignment follows the same format as Assignment 1, but you will choose from a different set of articles.
You are required to follow the Journal Article Critique Template provided, which includes the headings required, the questions that you must address, and formatting instructions. Your report must be in narrative (paragraph) form.
NOTE: The critique must be an original work: that is, not copied from someone else, and not used in this course in a previous registration or in any other course taken at Athabasca University or elsewhere. Otherwise, this constitutes plagiarism and academic misconduct.
You will not be permitted to re-write your journal article critique, so please follow the instructions carefully. Weiten and McCann (2013) give an excellent introduction to journal articles and to APA Style in Chapter 2, pages 77-78.
Articles
For this assignment, you must choose one of the following articles:
Kellogg, R. L. (1980). Sherlock Holmes and the educational process. Teaching of Psychology, 7(1), 41-44. doi:10.1207/s15328023top0701_11
