Week 5
discussion

We will be reviewing a “keeper study” this week—evaluate an
article by working through the following 7 question

Again, keeper studies can be identified using handy Rapid
Critical Appraisal checklists consisting of a set of simple but important
questions. Below are sample questions developed for use with quantitative
studies that are applicable to most appraisal situations (it’s important to
note that qualitative evidence, if it’s relevant to the clinical question,
should not be dismissed):

Why was the study done? Make sure the study is directly
relevant to the clinical question.

What is the sample size? Size can and should vary according
to the nature of the study. Since determining a valid minimum sample size in a
single study can be difficult, taking into account multiple studies is
beneficial.

The answer to this question alone should not remove a study
from the appraisal process.

Are instruments of the variables in the study clearly
defined and reliable? Make sure the variables were consistently applied
throughout the study and that they measured what the researchers said they were
going to measure.

How was the data analyzed?

Make sure that any statistics are relevant to the clinical
question.

Were there any unusual events during the study? If the
sample size changed, for example, determine whether that has ramifications if
you wish to replicate the study.

How do the results fit in with previous research in this
area? Make sure the study builds on other studies of a similar nature.

What are the implications of the research for clinical
practice? Ask whether the study addresses a relevant and important clinical
issue.

As you work on your capstone project proposal, you will want
to share your progress with your peers and instructor and seek or provide
guidance or share insights. By the due date assigned, go to the Discussion Area
and post responses to the discussion question. All responses should be posted
to the appropriate topic in this Discussion Area. It is important to support
what you say with relevant citations in the APA format from both the course materials
and outside resources. Include the South University online library in your
research activities utilizing not only the nursing resource database, but also
those pertaining to education, business, and human resources.

Supporting one—Challenging one.

Discussion: Reviewing a “Keeper Study” nsg 6999By the end of the week, comment on the responses of at least
two other students by supporting a minimum of one post and challenging a
minimum of one post. You will want to
focus on their point of view, asking pertinent questions, adding to the
responses by including information from other sources, and respectfully
challenging a point of view, supported by references to other sources. Be
objective, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language. All comments
should be posted to the appropriate topic in this Discussion Area. Please only
start a new thread with your original post. Hit reply to respond to a peer.
