Devry NR505 week 5 Critique of Systematic Research Review (SRR)
Critique of Systematic Research Review (SRR)Guidelineswith Scoring RubricPurposeThe purpose of this assignment is to provide students with practice inidentifying, reading, and critiquing systematic research reviewsrelated to nursing. A systematic review is defined as “A summary ofevidence, typically conducted by an expert or expert panel on aparticular topic, that uses a rigorous process (to minimize bias) foridentifying, appraising, and synthesizing studies to answer a specificclinical question and draw conclusions about the data gathered (Melnyk& Fineout-Overholt,2011, p.582).Course OutcomesThrough this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to(CO 3) Synthesize for dissemination the research findings from nursingand related disciplines. (PO 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11)(CO 4) Compare and critique quantitative and qualitative designs andmethodologies for research studies. (PO 4, 7, 9, 11)Due Date:Sunday11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 5Total Points Possible:175 PointsRequirements:1. Choose an SRR that pertains to your practice setting.Describethe relevance of the nursing research problem addressed in a SRR topractice. (CO 3, 6)2. Critique the levels of evidence of the studies used in the SRR,specifically the designs of the studies included. (CO 6)3. Critique the clarity with which the studies are presented andcritiqued. (CO 6)4. Describe the overall findings of the studies, as summarized inthe SRR. (CO 3, 6)5. Critique the conclusions of the SRR, with implications for yourcurrent practice and future research. (CO 3, 6)6. Utilize the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews to locate atrue SRR for this assignment.7. Paper length should be between 4-6 pages (not including coverpage and reference page(s).Preparing the paperConsult your faculty member if you are uncertain about whether yourarticle is a true SRR. If it is not, your grade will be affectedbecause you will not be able to address all of the above objectives.Important: Submit a copy of the permalink for the article that you arecritiquing by placing it on your reference page underneath yourreferences. This will help TurnItIn from returning a high similaritypercentage on your written work. Remember to keep TurnItIn similarityto 24% or less.ReferencesMelnyk, B.M., & Fineout-Overholt, E. (2011).
