Instructions: A major skill that is learned in this course is how to critically read and appraise
nursing research articles. The purpose for appraising an article is to evaluate the research
process followed by the author(s) of the assigned article. This information-intensive, time-
intensive process is not learned overnight. To demonstrate your skill at appraising an article, you
will complete this open-book short answer assignment.
Here's how you should approach completing this week’s assignment to begin appraising an
article:
1. First, do your assigned reading in Gray, Grove, & Sutherland (2017). This will
introduce you to the skills you will need for the week.
2. Skim the entire instructor assigned research article that has been posted on
Blackboard for you so that you will have an idea of what it is about. Then, for this week,
re-read carefully the sampling / measurement strategies / data collection / data analysis /
findings and results (all of the information below the methods section) of the article
again.
3. Print or download the Research Article Appraisal, Part Two Assignment and the Rubric
Then, find the best answer to each question based on your Gray, Grove, & Sutherland
(2017) assigned reading for the past two weeks and on what you have read in
the instructor assigned research article.
4. Some of the questions in the appraisal assignment below will seem unfamiliar to you.
Look up key terms from the question in your textbook. Some examples of these terms
might be: sample design, data collection plan, or interpretation of the findings. You can
also look in Chapter 18 for an example of a critical appraisal (or critique) of a quantitative
research article.
5. Download the Assignment so you can type in your answers into the template. Once
completed, upload your Assignment to the assignment link above by the time and date
listed on the Course Schedule. Be thoughtful and review the information that has been
given to you to complete this assignment.
6. No quotations in this assignment are allowed, paraphrase your work. Review the
plagiarism section in the syllabus.
If you have questions about this assignment, you can post them to the Q & A discussion board
for help. Please do not ask the group for the answer as this would constitute academic
dishonesty.
