Assignment Prompt
Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring is a conceptual thread in the US
Colleges of Nursing’s curriculum framework. The purpose of this
assignment is to offer students the opportunity to be exposed to Human
Caring Science while providing students with the skills of critical
appraisal of evidence.

1. Students will select one nursing research article that focuses on a
study that used Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring as a
theoretical framework.

2. Students should use as a guide, an appropriate Rapid Critical
Appraisal Checklist found in Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt (2019; pp.
708-722).

3. The critiques are to be informal, although correct grammar,
spelling, etc., are expected. The critique should include a brief
description of the study that was reviewed and should address
elements of the study relevant to critique.

4. Students will provide a written critique on a critical appraisal of the
elements relevant to the nature of the research study such as type
of study, design, quality of the study; and rationale, as well as
implications for practice and further research and/or evaluation.
