Nursing journals using an evaluation table

in nursing practice, accurate identification and application of research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. Being able to articulate the information and successfully summarize relevant peer-reviewed articles in a scholarly fashion helps to support the student’s ability and confidence to further develop and synthesize the progressively more complex assignments that constitute the components of the course change proposal capstone project.

For this assignment, the student will provide a synopsis of eight peer-reviewed articles from nursing journals using an evaluation table that determines the level and strength of evidence for each of the eight articles. The articles should be current within the last 5 years and closely relate to the PICOT statement developed earlier in this course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A systematic review may be used to provide background information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project. Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” resource to complete this assignment.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are not required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.

Evaluation

     An educational program’s worth is determined by a process that is defined as an evaluation (Keating & DeBoor, 2018).  “Evaluation is a broad term that describes the process of determining the value, worth, or quality” (Billings & Halstead, 2016, p. 385).  There are several evaluation models that are utilized by nursing programs and nursing educators. 

     During this week’s assigned readings, I found two models that could be used for the evaluation of an educational intervention in a healthcare setting.  One is the RSA Model which was developed by Roberta Straessle Abruzzese, a nursing educator.  This model is a triangle that progresses in a hierarchy fashion moving from process evaluation (the lowest level) to content evaluation, outcome evaluation, and the highest level – impact evaluation (DeSilets, 2010).  Another attractive model is the CURRICULUM Model which includes context, content, and conduct.  Under context the letters C – consider context and U – understand learners; content includes the letters R – wRite goals, R – wRite objectives, I – identify content, C – choose methods and materials, and U – unite resources; and conduct includes the letters L – lead implementation, U – undertake evaluation, and M – monitor outcomes (Kalb, 2009).

     Although the above-referenced evaluation models are appropriate for an educational program within a healthcare setting, our team has chosen the Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model combined with a Shared Governance Model approach.  The Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model “evaluates four levels of change:  reaction, learning, behavior, and results” (Billings & Halstead, 2016, p. 389).  Each of these levels must be evaluated before expanding upon the next.  This model will be useful for the nurse and the educator as it will show if the training yields the desired outcomes; the degree of change on the nursing units; and the amount of content learned (Kirkpatrick Partners, 2019).  Moses Cone Hospital already has a Shared Governance model in place which will aid in achieving quality patient care by aligning nursing professional practice with organizational values and beliefs (Nursing World, 2004).  This model can help nurses by encouraging one another to provide evidenced-based care and live the mission, vision, and values of the Cone Health organization. 

     According to Billings & Halstead (2016, p. 395), “to design and implement an evaluation plan and then ignore the results would defeat the purpose of evaluation.”  Evaluation of an educational program not only reveals the success of the said program; it can also assist the nurse educator in any changes that need to be made for future reference.  “Implementing an educational model that is based on outcomes reflects the influence of education on practice” (Dickerson, Shinners, & Chappell, 2017).

Architecture and Design homework help

This paper is a brief summary of Robert Bagley’s “Interpreting Prehistoric Designs,” in idem., Iconography without Texts (Warburg Institute Colloquia 13, 2008), pp. 43-68. Reprinted in idem., Gombrich among the Egyptians (Seattle: Marquand Books, 2015), pp. 102-119. The article can be found in the Week 3 files on Canvas. The article is closely focused on the concept of universal motifs and how iconography is treated in art history. Bagley uses very clear language in this article, however, some of the issues he raises can become abstract when you try to summarize them. Make sure you are understanding the subtleties of his argument and remember to be clear and concise, as you will have to keep it short.
For this short essay, please articulate a precise description of the main arguments Bagley advances and the principal evidence he adduces to support his assertions. It is intended to develop your skills as a critical reader and to show your ability to formulate and articulate your observations in written form. In this paper, you are not supposed to make your own argument. Rather, you should summarize the content of the reading by addressing these questions:

  • What is the topic of the article?
  • What is the central argument of the author?
  • Which kind of evidence (pictorial, textual) does the author draw upon to support his argument?
  • How does he use said evidence to support his conclusion?

Remember that every time you quote, paraphrase or summarize others’ work, facts, ideas, etc. you must cite your source. For this assignment, use parenthetical citations at the end of each sentence where you use Bagley’s text. For example: (Bagley 114). Footnotes and endnotes are also acceptable if used with a correct and consistent format. Since you will only use one reading for this assignment, you are not
required to have a list of works cited at the end of the paper, nor should you require any outside research.

Formatting Requirements and Submission

The paper should be 250-500 words long, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins and Times New Roman font, size 12. You will be asked to submit your file on Canvas by Friday November 6, at 11:59 pm PST. 25% will be deducted every 24 hours for late submissions, and no paper will be accepted after the Sunday following the due date (unless otherwise arranged with me in the case of documented sickness or family emergency).
