Critique Journal article on Experimental Research

Final
Project Directions

The final project will be an
analysis of a single Quantitative Experimental or Quasi
Experimental designed research paper. Chapter 7 of your textbook
explains what a Quantitative study is, its uses, and quantitative designs. The
critique for the final project is due Monday of Week 6 at 11:55 pm central
standard time. Review page 578 of your textbook to help you understand
how to critique a research study.

Purpose

The purpose of doing an in-depth
analysis of a Quantitative experimental or quasi-experimental designed
research article is to help you put into practice the content of the
course and to illustrate why the hierarchy of evidence is focused on systematic
reviews. Further, your having done such a review gives you insight into the
sort of thinking and questioning that arises when you are reading research
articles. It may also stimulate the critical thinking that is required of the
nursing scholar.

This will be your analysis and you
are required to use critical thinking in analyzing your selected article.
If you agree or disagree with the author, support your reasoning. If you find
any component of the study lacking or in need of improvement, support your
position. Support your position with scholarly resources.

Your paper is to be
5 – 10 pages not counting the title page and the reference page. Must use at least four references (journal articles within the last five years)
