This week you will focus on the critical appraisal of research

Nursing

This week you will focus on the critical appraisal of research. It is here that you will learn to EVALUATE the quality of the research. You will find a robust reading list and videos to view. I would encourage you to really dive into these resources. You may find yourself becoming overwhelmed at times. I would recommend just stepping back and considering the following question: How is this resource helping me become a more discriminating scholar?

The assignment involves completing the Week 6 template provided (part 3A) AND writing a 1-2-page appraisal of the research that you selected (part 3B), settling on a best practice based on these 4 articles. Again, you should be using the same 4 articles all the way through unless you have a compelling reason to change gears at this point.

As usual, look carefully at the rubric as it will guide the expectations.

  1. The critical appraisal accurately and clearly provides a detailed evaluation table. The responses provide a detailed, specific, and accurate evaluation of each of the peer-reviewed articles selected. This is the completion of the template/table provided.
  2. The responses accurately and clearly suggest a detailed best practice that is fully aligned to the research reviewed, with sufficient justification of why this represents a best practice in the field. The responses provide a complete, detailed, and specific synthesis of two outside resources reviewed on the best practice explained. The response fully integrates at least two outside resources and two or three course-specific resources that fully support the responses provided. This is the written appraisal that follows the table. The easiest way to do this is to include your best practice appraisal right after the template/table on the same document. I would start the written portion after the references found on page 5 of the template. Include an introduction and conclusion. Include supporting references (2 from class and 2 from outside of class)…just as you have been all along.
  3. NOTE: The template document is in landscape layout so you can either do a section break and change the written appraisal to portrait or you can just keep it as landscape.
 

In this Assignment, you will use an appraisal tool to conduct a critical appraisal of published research. You will then present the results of your efforts.

To Prepare:

  • Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and the four systematic reviews (or other filtered high- level evidence) you selected in Module 3.
  • Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and analyzed in Module 3.
  • Review and download the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template provided in the Resources.

The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 3A: Critical Appraisal of Research

Conduct a critical appraisal of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected by completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template. Choose a total of four peer- reviewed articles that you selected related to your clinical topic of interest in Module 2 and Module 3.

Note: You can choose any combination of articles from Modules 2 and 3 for your Critical Appraisal. For example, you may choose two unfiltered research articles from Module 2 and two filtered research articles (systematic reviews) from Module 3 or one article from Module 2 and three articles from Module 3. You can choose any combination of articles from the prior Module Assignments as long as both modules and types of studies are represented.

Part 3B: Critical Appraisal of Research

Based on your appraisal, in a 1-2-page critical appraisal, suggest a best practice that emerges from the research you reviewed. Briefly explain the best practice, justifying your proposal with APA citations of the research.
