Homework: Nursing Article Critique

Doctor of nursing practioners graduates are expected to apply research findings and integrate nursing science into evidence-based practice. To develop your skills in this high level of nursing practice, you will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of a research study over the next several weeks using the concepts presented throughout the course.

To prepare: This final analysis will be a 5 to 7 pages homework that includes the following:

1) A brief, 1- to 2-paragraph overview of the quantitative study that you selected. For the purpose of this homework the article cannot be a systematic review. Review the Walden University library information on a systematic review.

2) An explanation of two to three strengths of the study and support for your selection (i.e., why is this a strength). Be specific.

3) An explanation of 2-3 weaknesses of the study and support for your selection (i.e., why is this a weakness). Be specific.

4) Note: The strengths and weaknesses that you identified should be in relation to design, sampling, data collection, statistical analysis, results, and discussion of the study that you selected.

5) An explanation of proposed changes you would recommend to improve the quality of the this quantitative study, capitalizing on the strengths and improving on the weaknesses that you identified in the study. Be specific and provide examples.

6) A final summary of the implications of this study for nursing practice.

The purpose of the analysis is to help you develop a deeper understanding of the research process, to inspire you to think critically and deeply about research on a specific topic, and to strengthen your ability to integrate research findings into evidence-based nursing practice. This Homework also gives you practice in analyzing the research literature, which will support you when you begin your DNP project

Task
