Assignment task - Appraising the reporting quality of a qualitative reseach article

You are asked to evaluate the reporting quality of the supplied article by comparing the article to criteria from the official qualitative guide to reporting quality. For each section of the journal article as displayed in the assignment template, select from the drop-down list a rating for the reporting quality of that section: Excellent, Good, Fair or Poor. Then, for each section of the article add a typed prose justification of your rating-scale answer, evaluatingthe reporting quality of the article section by addressing as many criteria as you can from the official guide for thatsection within the limited word count. Higher scoring text answers will match a plausible rating-scale answer and include correct evaluation of reporting quality, and state the evidence-based practice implications of that reporting quality. Assignments will be marked only against the criteria from the official guide and not directly from any other reporting quality checklists even where those guides or checklist match the official guide. No additional research or literature is needed. No citations or references additional to the supplied article are expected. Evaluations based on criteriafrom reporting-quality guides and checklists where those criteria do not appear in the official quantitative guide willcontribute zero to the score for that section. See the Module 6 tutorial for detailed definitions of "Good", "Fair" and "Poor" reporting quality for the rating-scale answers, complementing the reporting quality guide for qualitative research. For a high score, your rating-scale answer must logically match your text evaluation. State what the authors have reported properly, noting also what the authors have omitted to report or reported inadequately.Therefore, for each section of the article, try to identify:

Relevant and important criteria that the authors have satisfied in their report. In this way, you identify whereand how the authors have achieved a high standard of reporting. These comments support a Good or Excellent rating.

Relevant and important criteria that the authors have missed. The authors could have overlooked importantcriteria or inadequately addressed them in the article. In this way, you are identifying where and how the authorshave not achieved a high standard of reporting. These comments support a Fair or Poor rating.

Evidence-based practice implications of the reporting quality for that section, identified through a brief comment in your answer. Convincing argument about evidence-based practice implications is essential for a Distinction or High Distinction score for that section.
