Evidence Based Practice and Applied Nursing Research

There  are many sources of information available on the web and in journals  relating to the nursing discipline. Therefore, it is of pivotal  importance to understand the basic tenets of critical appraisal of  research for its use in intraprofessional healthcare practices. The aim  of evidence-based practice (EBP) is to employ a three-pronged approach  blending the best available research evidence, patient values and  preferences, and clinical expertise.
In this task, you will  critique two primary research evidence sources. You will select one  quantitative and one qualitative peer-reviewed journal article on a  healthcare topic of interest.
Requirements:
Your  submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of  30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one  individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from  sources, even if cited correctly. Use the Turnitin Originality Report  available in Taskstream as a guide for this measure of originality.
The  rubric provides detailed criteria for evaluating your submission. You  are expected to use the rubric to direct the creation of your  submission. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one  rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to  relevant portions of the course.

Note: Research evidence must not be more than ten years old.

Note: Be sure to upload a copy of the full text of the articles with your submission.

A.  Evaluate a primary quantitative research peer-reviewed journal article (suggested length of 3–5 pages) that has healthcare implications by doing the following:

1.  Identify how the researcher addresses the five following areas of the selected journal article, using the attached “Evidence Table”:

•   background or introduction

•   review of the literature

•   discussion of methodology

•   data analysis

•   researcher’s conclusion

2.  Critique whether the evidence presented in each section of the journal article supports the researcher’s conclusion.

Note: Try to think about how the first four sections in the A1 table support the fifth section, the conclusion.

3.  Explain the protection of human subjects and cultural considerations of the journal article.

4.  Identify strengths and limitations of the study.

5.  Describe how the evidence informs nursing practice.
B.  Evaluate a primary qualitative research peer-reviewed journal article (suggested length of 3–5 pages) that has healthcare implications by doing the following:

1.  Identify how the researcher addresses the five following areas of the selected journal article, using the attached “Evidence Table”:

•   background or introduction

•   review of the literature

•   discussion of methodology

•   data analysis

•   researcher’s conclusion

2.  Critique whether the evidence presented in each section of the journal article supports the researcher’s conclusion.

Note: Try to think about how the first four sections in the B1 table support the fifth section, the conclusion.

3.  Explain the protection of human subjects and cultural considerations of the journal article.

4.  Identify strengths and limitations of the study.

5.  Describe how the evidence informs nursing practice.
C.  Acknowledge  sources, using APA-formatted in-text citations and references, for  content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
