Instructions: Practical nurses are expected to conduct
Instructions: Practical nurses are expected to conduct literature searches, critically appraise research articles, and discuss the implications for nursing practice. Therefore, this assignment has been developed for you to demonstrate your literature search skills, begin to appraise research articles, and think about the implications research may have for nursing practice. Research begins with a question because we want to know why something happens and what to do about it. Think of an area of nursing you are interested in. Next, develop a clinical research question. A well-constructed research question, that is relevant to a patient problem, will facilitate finding current evidence for use in practice. (Note that you cannot implement everything you read as there is a very complex process that has to occur first.) Use the PICO format to organize your question. The four elements of the PICO model are: P: Patient/Problem I: Intervention C: Comparison O: Outcome Use the artcile bellow to answer the following questions Erwin B,P.,Pitlick K,M., & Peers L, G.(2015).Maintenance of Goal Blood Pressure,Cholesterol, and A1C Levels in Veterans With Type 2 Diabetes After Discharge from a Pharmacist Managed Ambulatory Care Clinic.

Provide rationale from the course content and examples from the study to support your answer. (2 marks) Critical appraisal of research study Briefly discuss the steps in the research study? (Steps are research problem and purpose, review of relevant literature, study framework, research objectives, questions or hypothesis, study variables, study design, population and sample, measurement methods, data collection, data analysis, discussion of research outcomes) Note any missing steps of the research process: Discuss the quality, presentation and organization of the report.

(1 mark) Identify the population in the research study? (1 mark) What was the research question or hypothesis inherent in the study? (1 mark) Discuss the significance of the problem for nursing practice. (1 mark) Evaluate the appropriateness (benefits and weaknesses) of the study design? (2 mark) What are the independent and dependant variables in the study? (1 mark) Critically appraise the literature review completed by the research study. Comment on each of the areas below: Quality sources (peer-reviewed sources / journal articles, primary sources referenced) Current sources (published within 10 years prior to the research article’s publication) Relevant content (content directly related to the study and appropriate authors cited) Synthesis of relevant content (studies critically appraised and synthesized, clear concise, gaps in the literature are discussed) Critically appraise how data was collected and analysed. (2 mark) Discuss the findings of the research study? (1 mark) Implications for nursing practice/health team environment Discuss the significance and usefulness of the findings for nursing practice. Apply course content to support your statements.
