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.
Click the Assignment Files tab to submit your assignment and articles
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.
Click the Assignment Files tab to submit your assignment.
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.

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
