Research Critique Paper

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your ability to evaluate one quantitative or qualitative nursing research article of interest from any refereed nursing journal. Writing a critical review of a journal article can help to improve your writing and analytical skills. By assessing the work of others, you develop skills as a critical reader and become familiar with the types of evaluation criteria necessary to translating the evidence to practice. 

Instructions: 

1. Write a 1-2 pages assignment. 
2. Choose a primary nursing research article of interest from a refereed nursing journal. Attach a copy of the article.
3. Begin your critique by identifying the: 
   • article’s title
   • author(s)
   • date of publication
   • name of the journal or other publication in which it appeared
   • Where and when was the article published? 
   • In your introduction, you should also briefly describe the purpose and nature of the study and, if applicable, its theoretical framework. 
   • If the paper was not published in a peer-reviewed journal, consider the credibility of the publication in which it appeared. 
4. If you are reviewing a research study, organize the body of your critique according to the paper’s structure. Start with a brief description and analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the research design and methodology. For example: 
   1. How does the method reflect other studies of the same topic? (sample, data collection, setting). 
   2. What makes this method feasible? 
   3. How realistic is it? How does the method address questions of validity? 
   4. How does the researcher overcome the limitations of the method? 
   5. Are there large limitations or minor ones? 
   6. How will these limitations affect your ability to use this data to answer your research question? 
5. Describe the results by answering:
   1. How were the results interpreted? 
   2. How were they related to the original problem (author’s view of evidence rather than objective findings)? 
   3. Look at DISCUSSION. Were the author(s) able to answer the question (test the hypothesis) raised? 
   4. Did the research provide new factual information, a new understanding of a phenomenon in the field, a new research technique? 
   5. How was the significance of the work described? 
   6. Did the reported observations/interpretations support or refute observations or interpretations made by other researchers? 
6. Describe the significance of the research by answering:
   1. Did the research make a significant contribution to human knowledge? 
   2. Did the research produce any practical applications? 
   3. What are the nursing implications of this research? 
   4. How do you evaluate the significance of the research? 
7. Utilize at least 5 cited sources to substantiate your findings or critique. 
   • Follow APA style rules.
8. Visit the following website for suggested guidelines:
   • American Nurses Association “Reading and Critiquing a Research Article”
   • The “John Hopkins Nursing Evidence Practice”

Assignment: Workflow Model Analysis (2–3 pages)

• Briefly describe the case study you selected.
• Explain the systems development life cycle present in the case.
• Describe the workflow model that was used. Explain whether this workflow model is a good fit and why.
• Explain how the clinical decision support system impacted workflow in the case.
• Assess the role of the nurse informaticist in the case study and how the role could be beneficial to internal and external customers. (Customers external to health care organizations include patients, patients’ families and visitors, referring physicians, doctors’ offices, blood donors, and third-party payers. Internal customers include nurses, staff physicians and other professionals, students, trainees, employees, departments, and committees.)
• Recommend an alternative workflow model that could be used in this scenario. Explain how it improves patient safety and/or outcomes. 
• Support your recommendation by synthesizing and integrating at least two outside resources and two of the provided Resources.

In 2012, statistics in the United States indicated that state CPS agencies received 3.4 million referrals for child abuse and neglect. Of these, nearly 700,000 children were found to be victims of maltreatment: 18% were victims of physical abuse and 78% were victims of neglect (CDC, 2014). Child sexual abuse makes up roughly 10% of child maltreatment cases in the United States (CDC, 2014). The CDC considers sexual abuse at any age a form of violence. Child abuse of any kind can lead to an increased state of inflammatory markers in adulthood, as well as multiple physical illnesses and high-risk behavior such as alcoholism and drug abuse. If a PMHNP identifies child abuse, there may be a need to report the abuse to authorities. Once able to provide treatment, the PMHNP can be instrumental in reducing the long-term effects of child abuse.

In this Discussion, you recommend strategies for assessing for abuse and analyze influences of media and social media on mental health. You also evaluate the need for mandatory reporting of abuse.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Recommend strategies for assessing for abuse
• Analyze influences of media and social media on mental health
• Evaluate the need for mandatory reporting of abuse

To Prepare for this Discussion:

• Read the Learning Resources concerning treating childhood abuse.
• Read the Child Abuse Case Study in the Learning Resources.

 POST

• What strategies would you employ to assess the patient for abuse? Explain why you selected these strategies.
• How might exposure to the media and/or social media affect the patient?
• What type of mandatory reporting (if any) is required in this case? Why?
