Original Research Article Critique Related to Nursing

A research critique demonstrates your ability to critically evaluate an investigative study. Choose
an original or primary research study related to nursing or medicine. The purpose of this
assignment is to review a research study in-depth and to decide whether or not it is a valid
research study that can be used in practice. It is your written evaluation of the study, not just a
summary of the study. References must be w/in 5 years (2015-2020)
The body of your paper should follow APA Style guidelines, and it should 4 pages double-spaced
plus a cover page and reference list.

The full article must be attached to the critique for credit.
Note: Because submission of the article is part of the assignment requirements and is necessary
for grading, any assignment submitted without the accompanying article will be considered
incomplete.
Articles used for one assignment cannot be used for the other assignments. (Students should
find new research articles for each assignment.)
The selected articles should be ORIGINAL RESEARCH STUDIES Review articles, concept
analysis, meta-analysis, meta-synthesis, integrative review, and systemic review should not be
used.
Mixed-methods studies should not be used.
Your critique should include the following:
1. Research Problem/Purpose
Describe the problem as it is presented in the study.
State the purpose of the research.

Have the investigators placed the study problem within the context of existing nursing or
healthcare knowledge?
Will the study solve a problem relevant to nursing?
2. Review of the Literature (may be part of the author’s introduction or conclusion)
Identify the concepts explored in the literature review.
Are the references current in relation to the publication date of the study? If not, what are the
possible reasons for using older sources?
3. Theoretical Framework
Do the authors identify their overall assumptions or a theoretical framework for the study? Are
these assumptions appropriate for the study?
Does the research draw only on nursing theory, or does it draw on theory from other disciplines?
If a formal theory is not identified, suggest one (preferably a nursing theory) that might be
suitable for the study. Various nursing theories can be found at http://www.nursingtheory.org/theories-and-models/
4. Variables/Hypotheses/Questions/Assumptions
What is the research question or the hypothesis? Is it clearly stated or implied?

What are the independent and dependent variables in the hypothesis or research question?
Are the variables clearly defined so that the reader understands the researchers’ interpretation of
the variables?
Is the dependent variable concrete and measurable?
5. Methodology
What type of design (quantitative, qualitative) was used in this study?
Was inductive or deductive reasoning used in this study?
State the sample size and study population, sampling method, and study setting.
Did the investigator choose a probability or non-probability sample?
Describe how the independent variable was tested or surveyed in the study.
Describe how the dependent variable was measured.
Discuss the reliability and the validity (quantitative) or the credibility (qualitative) of the
measurement tools.
How were ethical considerations addressed? What ethical considerations were necessary for this
type of study?
6. Data Analysis
What data analysis method was used?
How were the results in the study presented to the reader?

Discuss at least one (1) finding from the authors’ results and relate it to the dependent variable of
the study.
7. Summary/Conclusions, Implications, and Recommendations
What are strengths and limitations of the study other than those stated by the authors?
Can the researcher generalize the findings to other populations? Explain.
What is the significance of the findings and conclusions for you in your personal nursing
practice? For nursing as a profession?

Obesity Awareness Comparison

Obesity is not just an American problem; it has become a global concern.
You will explore obesity around the world. You will research information on obesity in the United
States and two other countries, each from different continents.
For this assignment:
Discuss obesity in the United States and the two countries you selected.
What comparisons can be made?
What are the cultural differences in these countries that contribute to obesity?
What are some of the contributing factors to worldwide obesity rates?
What are some social determinants that may contribute to obesity rates?
What are shared causal or associative factors that contribute to the global spread of this
condition?
Compile your response into an APA-formatted, three- to four-page paper (excluding cover page
and reference page) that addresses each item listed above.
Use APA (6th ed.) format to style your paper and to cite your sources. Integrate your sources into
the paragraphs and use internal citations pointing to evidence in the literature and supporting
your ideas. You will need to include a reference page listing those sources.

Relationship Between Smoking and Lung Cancer

1. Different study designs to investigate the relationship between smoking & lung cancer:
2. Researchers recruited 200 70-year-old former factory workers who had been diagnosed with lung cancer, and an additional 200 70-year-old former factory workers who were screened and found to be free of lung cancer. The study participants were asked about their smoking history during the past 50 years.  Among those with lung cancer, 127 were smokers.  Among those without lung cancer, 35 were smokers.

Study design?                                  Timing?

Using the data above, construct a 2×2 table.  Identify and calculate the appropriate measures of frequency and association.  Interpret your findings.

 

1. Researchers recruited a group of 20-year-old factory workers and followed them for 50 years. During the study period, 162 participants were regular cigarette smokers, and 238 were non-smokers.  By the time the participants were 70 years old, 127 of the smokers were diagnosed with lung cancer, as were 73 non-smokers.  None of the study participants were lost to follow-up.

Study design?                                        Timing?

Using the data above, construct a 2×2 table.  Identify and calculate the appropriate measures of frequency and association.  Interpret your findings.

1. Researchers identified 400 individuals who worked at the same factory in 1930, at which time the workers were all 20 years old. In 2010, using medical records, the researchers assessed smoking behavior and lung cancer over a 50 year period previously.  162 of the workers had been regular cigarette smokes, 127 of whom had been diagnosed with lung cancer during the follow-up period.  238 of the workers were non-smokers, 73 of whom had been diagnosed with lung cancer during the follow-up period.  16 smokers were lost after 25 years, as were 23 non-smokers.

Study design?                                        Timing?         

Using the data from the study above, construct a 2×2 table.  Identify and calculate the appropriate measures of frequency.  Then calculate a difference and a ratio measure of association. Interpret your findings.

 

1. Researchers recruited 400 70-year-old former factory workers to take a survey. A lung cancer diagnosis was reported by 127 of 162 smokers.  Diagnosed lung cancer was also reported by 73 of the 238 non-smokers.

Study design?                                        Timing?

Use the data described in the study above to construct a 2×2 table.  Identify and calculate the appropriate measures of frequency.  Then calculate a difference and a ratio measure of association. Interpret your findings.
