WEEK  1

 
NSG 512  Week 1 Individual Assignment Study Analysis: Preliminary Study Review

 
Instructions:

Locating appropriate academic articles that support your research topic

is important when conducting a study. Credible academic sources

create a stronger argument about the significance of a research

problem and validate your stance on the topic. Sources should address

prior studies on your topic and will give you an indication about how to

approach your research design.

Find two peer-reviewed health care research journals that align to your

research problem using the University Library. Identify one article about

a quantitative study and one about a qualitative study. You should be

able to use these articles in the literature review of your research

proposal outline.

For each article, answer questions 1-5 from Box 3.3 Additional

Questions for a Preliminary Review of a Study on p. 63 of Nursing

Research (click the Exercise tab) in 350 words.

• Type your answers in a Microsoft® Word document.
• Include the article's title before your answers.

Provide APA-formatted in-text citations and references for all sources.

for faculty member approval.

WEEK 2

NSG 512  Week 2 Individual Assignment Study Analysis: Critiquing Literature Reviews

Instructions:

Conducting a thorough critique of the articles you selected to support

your research topic is another important step in the process that is

accompanied in the beginning stages of a research study. This process

will help you to identify the purpose of the study and ensure it aligns to

the problem you are looking to research. Critiquing literature reviews

also allows you to determine if there is a need for the study, if the

information is out dated, identifies prior theoretical frameworks to guide

your study, reveal gaps that exist in the literature, and many other

supportive indicators.

For each study, write a 525-word response to the questions in Box 5.4

Guidelines for Critiquing Literature Reviews on p. 112 of Nursing

Research.

• Type your answers in a Microsoft® Word document.
• Include the article's title before your answers.

Provide APA-formatted in-text citations and references for all sources

cited.

Prepare your answers in a Microsoft® Word document.

Linked Objectives: 1.1, 1.2

WEEK 3

 
NSG 512 Week 3 Individual Assignment  Study Analysis: Critiquing Research Designs

 
A study's design method section should explicitly detail how the author

conducted research and assessed the hypothesis. This is vital because

it allows other researchers to replicate the design methods as a

secondary source or in a systematic review for possible health care

implications.

Analyze the study design of one of the studies you selected in Week 1

by writing a 525-word response to the questions in one of the following:

• Box 9.1 Guidelines for Critiquing Research Designs in Quantitative

Studies located on p. 210 of Nursing Research if you selected the

quantitative study

• Box 21.1 Guidelines for Critiquing Qualitative Designs located on p.

483 of Nursing Research if you selected the qualitative study

Provide APA-formatted in-text citations and references for all sources

cited.

Prepare your response in a Microsoft® Word document and indicate

which study design you analyzed.

Linked Objectives: 1.1, 1.2

WEEK 4

 
NSG 512 Week 4 Individual Assignment Study Analysis: Testing Validity

 
Instructions:

Testing validity assesses whether research reliably measures the

intended purpose of the study and produces facts that are not biased

and ambiguous.

Analyze the validity of both studies you selected in Week 1.

For each article, write a 700-word response answering the questions in

the following:

• Box 10.1 Guidelines for Critiquing Design Elements and Study

Validity in Quantitative Studies on p. 232 of Nursing Research (click the

Exercise tab)

• Questions 1-4 located under Box 25.1 Guidelines for Evaluating

Quality and Integrity in Qualitative Studies on p. 571 of Nursing

Research

Provide APA-formatted in-text citations and references for all sources

cited.

Prepare your responses in a Microsoft® Word document and note the

article's title before each response.

WEEK 5

NSG 512 Week 5 Learning Team Assignment  Systematic Review Critique

Instructions:

Systematic reviews are the pillars of evidence-based health care and

are secondary research, which is the development of a study based

upon prior research. Researchers compile studies into one review and

conduct a thorough analysis of an issue. These reviews allow

researchers to judge the quality of studies and make suggestions after

replicating the research methods used. This method of research is

popular in the health care industry because it identifies solutions to

complex issues, increases accuracy, and resolves discrepancies.

Read the open-access article assigned to your team using the link

provided in the Ch. 29 toolkit.

• Atlantis, E., Fahey, P., & Foster, J. (2014). Collaborative care for

comorbid depression and diabetes: A systematic review and metaanalysis.

Utilize the resources in the Chapter 29 Systematic Reviews of

Research Evidence: Meta-Analysis, Meta-synthesis, and Mixed Studies

Review toolkit as a guide to completing your systematic review critique.

Box 29.1 in the toolkit provides critiquing guidelines.

Prepare an 8- to 12-slide presentation using Microsoft® PowerPoint® or

a presentation tool of your choice summarizing your findings.

research design and be able to determine its usefulness.

Analyze both studies you selected in Week 1 and utilize the information

you gathered in the Week 3 Study Analysis: Critiquing Research

Designs and Week 4 Study Analysis: Testing Validity assignments.

member must submit a reflection post individually.

NSG 512 Week 6 Individual Assignment   Study Analysis: Feasibility

Instructions:

The feasibility analysis is an evaluation of a study's practicality and

includes reviewing several variables within the study such as monetary

cost and the value of a study, the legalities, technological elements, and

other influences. The purpose of a feasibility analysis is to determine

whether a research study is achievable, which tells the researcher

whether or not they should proceed with the study.

Review the quantitative study you selected in Week 1.

Evaluate the quantitative study using the following criteria:

• Time
• Researcher experience
• Availability of study participants
• Cooperation of others
• Ethical considerations
• Facilities and equipment
• Money

Write a 700-word feasibility analysis based on your findings.

Provide APA-formatted in-text citations and references for all sources

cited.
