nr505 week 5 assignment

Critique of Systematic Research Review (SRR)

Guidelineswith Scoring Rubric

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to provide students with practice in identifying, reading, and critiquing systematic research reviews related to nursing. A systematic review is defined as “A summary of evidence, typically conducted by an expert or expert panel on a particular topic, that uses a rigorous process (to minimize bias) for identifying, appraising, and synthesizing studies to answer a specific clinical question and draw conclusions about the data gathered (Melnyk&Fineout-Overholt,2011, p.582).

Course Outcomes

Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to

(CO 3) Synthesize for dissemination the research findings from nursing and related disciplines. (PO 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11)

(CO 4) Compare and critique quantitative and qualitative designs and methodologies for research studies. (PO 4, 7, 9, 11)

Due Date:Sunday 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 5

Total Points Possible:175 Points
Requirements:

1. Choose an SRR that pertains to your practice setting.Describe the relevance of the nursingresearch problem addressed in a SRR to practice. (CO 3, 6)

2. Critique the levels of evidence of the studies used in the SRR, specifically the designs of the studies included. (CO 6)

3. Critique the clarity with which the studies are presented and critiqued. (CO 6)

4. Describe the overall findings of the studies, as summarized in the SRR. (CO 3, 6)

5. Critique the conclusions of the SRR, with implications for your current practice and future research. (CO 3, 6)

6. Utilize the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews to locate a true SRR for this assignment.

7. Paper length should be between 4-6 pages (not including cover page and reference page(s).
Preparing the paper

Consult your faculty member if you are uncertain about whether your article is a true SRR. If it is not, your grade will be affected because you will not be able to address all of the above objectives.

Important: Submit a copy of the systematic research review that you are critiquing as a separate document before submitting your paper.This will help Turnitin from returning a high similarity percentage on your written work. Remember to keep Turnitin similarity to 24% or less or you will be deducted points on APA.
