collecting data and making decisions

/in /by

Using statistics (collecting data and making decisions) helps prevent the number of mistakes or wrong decisions that are made.  By using data, there is a clearer answer to a decision as opposed to going with a gut decision, which may not be consistent for a variety of reasons.  What are your thoughts on using data to make most or all of the decisions for a patient?  After this data is collected and analyzed using the method that was described in the initial question. Do you think it is appropriate to run these kinds of experiments continuously together this kind of information? Or do you think there are downsides to using the scientific method in this way?

Article Critique

/in /by

article critique 

Please write a critique on a given article. 

Please follow the rubric. 

1.  Is the research study relevant to the study of nursing, (be specific and include examples from the article)?  

2.  Is the method/design appropriate in terms of the research question/hypothesis? 

What was the research question/hypothesis? Was it clearly stated? 

 Write how data was collected, method, procedure, sample. also write how data were analyzed.

 Key elements are discussed, and identification of items should be included. Provide a description of each of these key elements.  

3.      What   is the theoretical context? See chapter 7 in Polit & Beck. The terms   theoretical and conceptual frameworks are used interchangeably. Theories are   used to describe, predict, explain, and to control phenomena.   (Theoria is a Greek Word that means   beholding or speculation). 

“Theoretical   frameworks provide the organization for the study. It guides the researcher   in the interpretations of the results. the importance of the theory is   dependent on the degree of research based evidence and level of its theory   development. 

There are four levels of theory development 

1) factor isolating   (describe phenomena) 

2) Factor relating (explain phenomena), 

3) Situation   relating (predict the   relationships between/among phenomena), 

4) Situation producing (control   phenomena and relationships

**If   your article does not have a theoretical framework what do you suggest based   on Polit & Beck Chapter 7?  

 4. Describe the results of the study (identify if they are believable or not) 

5.  Are the results significant? In what way-explain use examples?  

6.   Are the results transferable? How? Transferability refers to the readers of the research to make connections but invites readers of research to make connections between elements of a study and their own experience. Transferability does not involve broad claims. How does this research apply to YOUR specific practice as a Registered Nurse?  

According to Brown (2005), Transferability can be enhanced by providing what is often referred to as thick description (i.e., giving enough detail so the readers can decide for themselves if the results

are transferable to their own contexts).  

7.  Implications for nursing practice, be specific how would this study impact nursing practice (use specific examples from the article)?  

8.  Implications for future research, be specific and use examples from the article.  

 The paper shall reflect a scholarly effort; proper grammar, coherence, spelling, and accurately use APA format. Have someone proof read your paper. Read your paper out loud to yourself.
