NRS 433V Week 3 Assignment Critical Analysis of Qualitative
Study
Prepare a critical
analysis of a qualitative study focusing on the problem statement, study
purpose, research question, literature review, and theoretical framework. This
can be one of the selected articles from your previous literature review or a
new peer-reviewed article.
The completed analysis
should be 1,000-1,250 words and should connect to your identified practice
problem of interest.
Refer to “Research
Critique Part 1.” Questions under each heading should be addressed as a
narrative, in the structure of a formal paper.
Prepare this
assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide,
located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
This assignment uses a
rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become
familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
You are required to
submit this assignment to Turnitin.
To write a critical
appraisal that demonstrates comprehension of the research study conducted,
respond to each of the questions listed under the headings below.
Do not answer the
questions with a yes or no; rather, provide a rationale or include examples or
content from the study to address the questions.
CRITICAL APPRAISAL
GUIDELINES: QUALITATIVE STUDY
Problem Statement
·
Identify the clinical
problem and research problem that led to the study. What was not known about
the clinical problem that, if understood, could be used to improve health care
delivery or patient outcomes? This gap in knowledge is the research problem.
·
How did the author
establish the significance of the study? In other words, why should the reader
care about this study? Look for statements about human suffering, costs of
treatment, or the number of people affected by the clinical problem.
Purpose and Research
Questions
·
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?
·
Were qualitative
methods appropriate to answer the research questions?
Literature Review
·
Did the author cite
quantitative and qualitative studies relevant to the focus of the study? What
other types of literature did the author include?
·
Are the references
current? For qualitative studies, the author may have included studies older
than the 5-year limit typically used for quantitative studies. Findings of
older qualitative studies may be relevant to a qualitative study.
·
Did the author
evaluate or indicate the weaknesses of the available studies?
·
Did the literature
review include adequate information to build a logical argument?
Conceptual /
Theoretical Framework
·
Did the author identify
a specific perspective from which the study was developed? If so, what was it?
·
When a researcher uses
the grounded theory method of qualitative inquiry, the researcher may develop a
framework or diagram as part of the findings of the study. Was a framework
developed from the study findings?
