Advance Nursing Research (Critiquing A Qualitative Research)

Advance Nursing Research (Critiquing A Qualitative Research)

For this assignment, you will be writing your own QUALITATIVE study critique (similar to what you did for me last week for the quantitative study critique, only this time critiquing a QUALITATIVE research study) on one of the studies provided to you.

Choose one qualitative journal article from this list:

Biezen, R., Grando, D., Mazza, D., & Brijnath, B. (2019). Visibility and transmission: complexities around promoting hand hygiene in young children: A qualitative study. BMC Public Health, 19(1), no pages.

da Silva Lins, H. N., Macêdo Paiva, L. K., Gonçalves de Souza, M., Cassimiro Lima, R. M., & Albuquerque, N. L. A. (2019). Experiences in women’s care: Doulas’ perception. Journal of Nursing UFPE / Revista de Enfermagem UFPE, 13(5), 1264–1269.

Mele, B., Goodarzi, Z., Hanson, H. M., & Holroyd-Leduc, J. (2019). Barriers and facilitators to diagnosing and managing apathy in Parkinson’s disease: A qualitative study. BMC Neurology, 19(1), no pages.

Assignment Instructions

– Read your selected journal article entirely.

– Analyze the journal article and use the specific questions that are outlined in Gray, Grove, and Sutherland (2017) found on the attachment section to construct your analysis of your chosen QUALITATIVE research study. (See Word Attachment)

These are the main headers of your paper:

1- Identifying the Steps of the Qualitative Research Process

2- Determination of Strengths and Weaknesses of Qualitative Studies

3- Evaluating a Qualitative Study

You have many questions to address in your assignment. They should be in complete sentences (i.e., bullet point responses are not acceptable!).

– APA format is required in your assignment Word document.

– Page length, excluding the title and references list, is between five and seven pages.

– Minimun Two (2) references.

– Free of plagiarism (Turnitin Assignment)

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
