Be careful not to write exactly what you wrote in week 2 paper or you will self-plagiarizeJ.   Please include your PICO in either the introduction or the background.

Title and Author(s) of Article 1

Background Article 1

Identify the clinical problem and research problem that led to the study. How did the author establish the significance of the study? In other words, why should the reader care about this study? Identify the purpose of the study. An author may clearly state the purpose of the study or may describe the purpose as the study goals, objectives, or aims. List research questions that the study was designed to answer. If the author does not explicitly provide the questions, attempt to infer the questions from the answers. Were the purpose and research questions related to the problem? Did the authors cite a hypothesis? Be sure to support your response with textbook information regarding the hypothesis that drove the study. NRS 433 wk3 template – Quantitative Research Critique

            Explain how each of your two articles will be used to answer your PICO question and how interventions and comparison groups in the articles relate to those in your PICO question NRS 433 wk3 template – Quantitative Research Critique

Method of Study- Article 1

Was the study descriptive, correlational, experimental, quasi-experimental? Did the researcher tell you what type of study this is, or did you deduct it from textbook definition and the way the researcher collected data- such as how the sample was collected, variables, etc.? Use your book to support your response. Describe the sample population. What does your book say about population sample size? What data collection tools were used? How did the researchers sort the data?  How were results analyzed? How was bias controlled?

There is always a review of the literature section. Find the section and see what types of literature the authors read to get foundation for this study. What does your textbook author say about articles older than 5 years and importance of scholarly articles in the literature review? In the review of the literature did the author cite quantitative and qualitative studies relevant to the focus of the study? Are the references current?  Did the literature review include adequate information to build a logical argument? Were articles strong evidence to support the study?
