Article Critique

article critique 

Please write a critique on a given article. 

Please follow the rubric. 

1.  Is the research study relevant to the study of nursing, (be specific and include examples from the article)?  

2.  Is the method/design appropriate in terms of the research question/hypothesis? 

What was the research question/hypothesis? Was it clearly stated? 

 Write how data was collected, method, procedure, sample. also write how data were analyzed.

 Key elements are discussed, and identification of items should be included. Provide a description of each of these key elements.  

3.      What   is the theoretical context? See chapter 7 in Polit & Beck. The terms   theoretical and conceptual frameworks are used interchangeably. Theories are   used to describe, predict, explain, and to control phenomena.   (Theoria is a Greek Word that means   beholding or speculation). 

“Theoretical   frameworks provide the organization for the study. It guides the researcher   in the interpretations of the results. the importance of the theory is   dependent on the degree of research based evidence and level of its theory   development. 

There are four levels of theory development 

1) factor isolating   (describe phenomena) 

2) Factor relating (explain phenomena), 

3) Situation   relating (predict the   relationships between/among phenomena), 

4) Situation producing (control   phenomena and relationships

**If   your article does not have a theoretical framework what do you suggest based   on Polit & Beck Chapter 7?  

 4. Describe the results of the study (identify if they are believable or not) 

5.  Are the results significant? In what way-explain use examples?  

6.   Are the results transferable? How? Transferability refers to the readers of the research to make connections but invites readers of research to make connections between elements of a study and their own experience. Transferability does not involve broad claims. How does this research apply to YOUR specific practice as a Registered Nurse?  

According to Brown (2005), Transferability can be enhanced by providing what is often referred to as thick description (i.e., giving enough detail so the readers can decide for themselves if the results

are transferable to their own contexts).  

7.  Implications for nursing practice, be specific how would this study impact nursing practice (use specific examples from the article)?  

8.  Implications for future research, be specific and use examples from the article.  

 The paper shall reflect a scholarly effort; proper grammar, coherence, spelling, and accurately use APA format. Have someone proof read your paper. Read your paper out loud to yourself.

Dietitian vs Nutritionist

Careers in Pharmacy and Dietetics

The lecture from our registered dietician touched on the point that a dietician and a nutritionist are very different in terms of their training and educational background. More specifically anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, there is no formal license or standard certification process for this designation.  However, as you now know, the path to become a registered dietician is much more complicated and comes with extensive educational, training and licensure/certification requirements.  Most people are surprised to find this out!

I’d like you to reflect on the difference and address each of the following questions:  (a) Did this information surprise you or did you already know the difference between the two designations?  (b) Have you or someone close to you had any personal experience with a nutritionist that you now question? (c) Will you look more closely at what kind of professional endorses the supplements, vitamins, etc. that you consider taking? Feel free to post any other thoughts related to this topic. Responses may be only one paragraph, but no more than two.

After posting your response, read your peers’ thoughts and reply to at least one classmate.

Be sure to review requirements for discussion board posts from the syllabus. Don’t forget to review the rubric prior to writing your post.
