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:Sunday11:59 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 nursing research 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 permalink for the article that you are
critiquing by placing it on your reference page underneath your
references. This will help TurnItIn from returning a high similarity
percentage on your written work. Remember to keep TurnItIn similarity
to 24% or less.
