Please select any nursing research article from any one of the scientific journals found in the Nursing-Related Databases and Journals list. Select an article from an area that you are interested in or from the field you are working in. Using the article selected, construct a critique of the article, 6 to 10 pages (including cover page and references).
The critique should
• identify the problem statement or statement of purpose of the article
• describe the participants being studied, stating inclusion and exclusion criteria
• discuss the sampling issues, such as probability or nonprobability and number of subjects used
• identify the study setting-where data collection occurred
• discuss informed consent-whether the participants were fully informed, how their consent was obtained, and any other ethical considerations
• identify the hypothesis or research question
• identify the research design-for example, experimental or nonexperimental; descriptive, exploratory, explanatory, or predictive?
• identify research variables, both independent and dependent
• comment the on article's literature review-how the study data were analyzed (what statistical measures were used)
• describe the results of the study and appropriateness of the methods used; include study limitations
• accurately critique comments on level of evidence used, nursing theory, and implications for nursing practice or research
• discuss how the research findings can be applied to the clinical area
