Cite your benchmark source and describe how the study authors met or did not meet the benchmark criteria listed below. Assignment Criteria: Develop a scholarly paper that addresses the following criteria: 1. Identify an area of clinical interest. 2. Find a minimum of one peer-reviewed journal article (no older than 5 years) related to your clinical topic of interest. Do not use a meta-analysis or systematic review. 3. Critique the journal article, fully answering the questions in the table below. 4. The scholarly paper should be in narrative format, 4 to 5 pages excluding the title and reference page. 5. Include an introductory paragraph, purpose statement, and a conclusion. 6. Include level 1 and 2 headings to organize the paper. 7. Write the paper in third person, not first person (meaning do not use ‘we’ or ‘I’) and in a scholarly manner. To clarify: I, we, you, me, our may not be used. In addition, describing yourself as the researcher or the author should not be used. 8. Include a minimum of one professional peer-reviewed scholarly journal references to support the paper and a second benchmark peer reviewed source (may be textbook or other journal article) and be less than five (5) years old. 9. APA format is required (attention to spelling/grammar, a title page, a reference page, and in-text citations). 1.Introduction: – Research Problems and the Research Questions – What is the research problem? -Does the problem build a persuasive argument for the new study? -Is the problem statement easy to locate? -What are the research questions? -What is the population of interest? 2.Methods: A. Research Tradition -Was the research tradition for the study identified? -If none was identified, can one be inferred? -Are the data sources, research methods and analytic approach congruent with the research tradition? -Was there evidence of reflexivity in the design? B. Ethical Aspects of a Study -Were adequate steps taken to safeguard participant’s privacy? -How was confidentiality maintained? -Were vulnerable groups involved in research? C. Data Collection -Given the research question and characteristics of study participants, did the researcher use the best method of capturing study phenomena (self-reports, interviews, groups or observation)? -If self-report methods, did the researcher make good decisions about the specific method used to solicit information (focus group interviews, individual interviews). -Were interviews tape recorded, annotated, and transcribed? D. Data Analysis Approach -Identify the type of analyses undertaken to answer a research question. – Were appropriate methods used and/or qualitative software for data assessment? 3. Results: -Were the findings effectively summarized, with good use of experts? -Do the themes adequately capture the meaning of the data? -Does it appear that the researcher satisfactorily conceptualized the themes or patterns in the data? 4. Discussion: A. Findings -Did the analysis yield an insightful, provocative, and meaningful picture of the phenomenon under investigation? B. Clinical Practice -Did the researchers discuss the study’s implications for clinical practice or future research and if so, were the implications grounded in the study evidence, and in evidence from earlier research?
