Qualitative Research Critique-Nursing

The research design must include a nursing theory, the theory’s application to nursing, and identify outcomes impacted nursing practice.

Assignment Criteria:

For this assignment:

Search the literature for one qualitative research study related to your area of research interest (i.e. non clinical or clinical practices).

Make sure the article has a nursing theory, the theory has been applied to the nursing environment, and has impacted nursing practice.

The article must be peer-reviewed articles within the last five years.

Identify the study’s methodology (qualitative) to complete the framework grid from Polit & Beck (2017) textbook. ATTACHED TEMPLATE

Only select one article that reflects the methodology required for this assignment.

You should be able to find the article’s method under the article’s section entitled “methodology.â€

You are required to critique one qualitative nursing research study (i.e. refer to Assignment Criteria #13 a).

The article will be critiqued using the framework grid from Polit & Beck (2017) textbook-TEMPLATE ATTACHED-YOU MUST USE!

Copy and paste the grid into a Word document. This will make it easy for you to add your typed comments into the grid.

This is a critique assignment which focuses on the analysis or your scholarly perspective of the publication. Support your scholarly opinion only with references/citations if further explanation is needed. Use the comment section of the grid to write your comments and any additional citation(s). Each comment cited from another source to support your analysis or scholarly perspective of the critiqued article will require a citation (i.e. Campbell, 2016) in the comment section. Each citation must be documented on the reference page of the assignment (i.e. In accordance with the 6thedition APA Manual).

Include the citation information associated with the one qualitative article used for this critique. The course faculty will retrieve the article for assignment review and grading

 

Write a summary of how the research data/findings are related to the researcher’s recommendations. This is a one page summary separate from the framework grid from Polit & Beck (2017) textbook.

Use APA format and appropriate level heading(s) (i.e. Level One and/or Level Two).

Speech Patterns

Speech Patterns

Objectives

• Demonstrate effective use of organizational patterns
• Describe standard practices and methods for creating engaging speech content

Assignment Overview

In this practice exercise, you will explore the importance of organizing the main ideas of a speech into a pattern.

Deliverables

A two-page (500-word) paper and answers to exercise questions (This is all you will submit, two pages, about 500 words. If it takes you slightly more pages, that is okay. No worries. But, you must have a minimum of 500 words.)

Step 1 Write definitions for patterns of organization.

In a two-page (500-word) paper, write a brief definition or description in your own words for each of the following patterns used to structure the flow of information in a speech: (This is for the first section of your paper that includes at least 500 words. Just write definitions for these patterns of organization. )

• Topical Pattern
• Chronological Pattern
• Spatial Pattern
• Causal Pattern
• Monroe’s Motivated Sequence

Step 2 Read the list below of statements about the topic of friendship.

Determine which of the patterns of organization might be useful to create a logical flow of information for the statements. Select one pattern of organization to use to organize the statements. It can be one of the six that you defined in Step 2 or another one from any of the lesson materials or another source.(Choose just one pattern of organization for the topic of friendship as shown next to Step 2 in the directions. If I were you, I would choose one that you defined in the first part of this assignment, but you can go to the remaining ones from any lesson materials. If you choose one different from the six you defined, then be sure to define it for us in the beginnning. This is provided for you to organize outside the assignment. If you see below, you will see that you will submit it eventually, but first, you need to organize it per your choice of style.)

Statements About Friendship*

• We develop an acquaintanceship.
• Friendship is an interpersonal relationship between two persons that is characterized by mutual positive regard.
• We meet.
• In order to understand friendships, we need to see what a friendship is and its stages of development.
• Friendship is one of the most important of our interpersonal relationships.
• We develop an intimate friendship.
• Friendships develop through various stages.
• Friendships don’t develop full blown but rather go through various stages-from the initial meeting to intimate friendship.
• We develop a casual friendship.
• By understanding friendship we will be in a better position to develop and maintain productive and enjoyable friendships.
• Friendship-an interpersonal relationship characterized by mutual positive regard-is one of our most important assets.
• We develop a close relationship.
• Friendship is vital to all of us.

*These statements are from the Organizing a Scrambled Outline activity on the Course Compass website

Step 3 Arrange the statements about friendship.

Arrange the statements to form a logical flow. Modify your arrangement as many times as needed to fit one of the organizational patterns you learned about in the lesson.(Here is where you take the statements about friendship shown above and organize them in the arrangement you chose. You may have to think about this for a bit to make sure you organize it correctly for your chosen style.)

Step 4 Write the heading Introduction.

On the top of a sheet of blank paper, write the heading Introduction. Determine which statements you would include in the speech introduction. Then fill in the rest of the components of an introduction. (This is the second part of the assignment. Just start it on another page with the heading as described here. Use the statements about friendship shown above and choose which ones would be the introduction.)

Step 5 Write the heading Body.

On the top of a second sheet of blank paper, write the heading Body. Determine which statements you would include in the body of the speech. (This is NOT a separate page unless you are out of room on. Begin Body heading and then choose the statements that go in that area.)

Step 6 Write the heading Conclusion.

On the top of a third sheet of blank paper, write the heading Conclusion. Determine which statements you would include in the conclusion of the speech. Then fill in the rest of the components of a conclusion. (You may need more pages since headings take up room. That is okay, just use another page and follow the directions here for the Conclusion area. Be sure you label each area.)

Step 7 Enter the information.

In your word processing document, enter the headings and associated statements. (This just means to get your work ready to submit.)

Step 8 Answer the questions.

• Which pattern of organization did you use to structure the flow of statements?
• Are there any other patterns that you could have potentially used? If so, which one(s)? ( This would be the last paragraph or heading. So, write these questions and then respond to each one separately.) (You may have more pages than usual, but you will still have about 500 words or so. Just follow the directions for each section  and answer them fully. Do not get hung up on the word count.)

If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome will occur? Do you believe eye contact and personal contact should be avoided?

You would have a difficult time practicing as a nurse if you believed these to be true. But they are very real beliefs in some cultures.

Differences in cultural beliefs, subcultures, religion, ethnic customs, dietary customs, language, and a host of other factors contribute to the complex environment that surrounds global healthcare issues. Failure to understand and account for these differences can create a gulf between practitioners and the public they serve.

In this Assignment, you will examine a global health issue and consider the approach to this issue by the United States and by one other country.

To Prepare:

• Review the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global health agenda and select one global health issue to focus on for this Assignment.
• Select at least one additional country to compare to the U.S. for this Assignment.
• Reflect on how the global health issue you selected is approached in the U.S. and in the additional country you selected.
• Review and download the Global Health Comparison Matrix provided in the Resources.

The Assignment: (1- to 2-page Global Health Comparison Matrix; 1-page Plan for Social Change)

Part 1: Global Health Comparison Matrix

Focusing on the country you selected and the U.S., complete the Global Health Comparison Matrix. Be sure to address the following:

• Consider the U.S. national/federal health policies that have been adapted for the global health issue you selected from the WHO global health agenda. Compare these policies to the additional country you selected for study.
• Explain the strengths and weaknesses of each policy.
• Explain how the social determinants of health may impact the global health issue you selected. Be specific and provide examples.
• Using the WHO’s Organization’s global health agenda as well as the results of your own research, analyze how each country’s government addresses cost, quality, and access to the global health issue selected.
• Explain how the health policy you selected might impact the health of the global population. Be specific and provide examples.
• Explain how the health policy you selected might impact the role of the nurse in each country.
• Explain how global health issues impact local healthcare organizations and policies in both countries. Be specific and provide examples.

Part 2: A Plan for Social Change

Reflect on the global health policy comparison and analysis you conducted in Part 1 of the Assignment and the impact that global health issues may have on the world, the U.S., your community, as well as your practice as a nurse leader.

In a 1-page response, create a plan for social change that incorporates a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.

• Explain how you would advocate for the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.
• Explain how the incorporation of a global perspective or lens might impact your local practice and role as a nurse leader.
• Explain how the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice as a nurse leader represents and contributes to social change. Be specific and provide examples.
