Nursing science into evidence-based practice.

 

 

D​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​NP graduates are expected to apply research findings and integrate nursing science into evidence-based practice. To develop your skills in this high level of nursing practice, you will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of a research study over the next several weeks using the concepts presented throughout the course. Your final analysis will be a 5- to 7-page paper that includes the following: A brief, 1- to 2-paragraph overview of the study that you selected. An explanation of two to three strengths of the study and support for your selection (i.e., why is this a strength). Be specific. An explanation of 2–3 weaknesses of the study and support for your selection (i.e., why is this a weakness). Be specific. Note: The strengths and weaknesses that you identified should be in relation to design, sampling, data collection, statistical analysis, results, and d​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​iscussion of the study that you selected. An explanation of proposed changes you would recommend to improve the quality of the study, capitalizing on the strengths and improving on the weaknesses that you identified in the study. Be specific and provide examples.A final summary of the implications of this study for nursing practice. The Assignment: (5–7 pages) Select a research article from the body of literature that you have reviewed related to the practice gap that you have identified and for which you will develop for your DNP Project. Review the various quantitative research designs presented in the textbook readings and research articles. Consider the research design used in your selected article. Ask yourself the following questions: Is the design appropriate for the study? Why or why not? Would a different design provide better results? Why or why​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​ not?
