Application: Critiquing Quantitative, Qualitative, or Mixed Methods Studies

Critiquing the validity and robustness of research featured in journal articles provides a critical foundation for engaging in evidence-based practice. In Weeks 5 and 6, you explored quantitative research designs. In Week 7, you will examine qualitative and mixed methods research designs. For this Assignment, which is due by Day 7 of Week 7, you critique a quantitative and either a qualitative or a mixed methods research study and compare the types of information obtained in each.

To prepare:

Select a health topic of interest to you that is relevant to your current area of practice. The topic may be your Course Portfolio Project or a different topic of your choice.

Using the Walden Library, locate two articles in scholarly journals that deal with your portfolio topic: (does hand washing and appropriate staff dressing among the surgical ward nurses reduce cross infection during patient management?) 1) Select one article that utilizes a quantitative research design and 2) select a second article that utilizes either a qualitative OR a mixed methods design. These need to be single studies not systematic or integrative reviews (including meta-analysis and metasynthesis). You may use research articles from your reference list. If you cannot find these two types of research on your portfolio topic, you may choose another topic.

Locate the following documents in this week’s Learning Resources to access the appropriate templates, which will guide your critique of each article:

Critique Template for a Qualitative Study

Critique Template for a Quantitative Study

Critique Template for a Mixed-Methods Study

Consider the fields in the templates as you review the information in each article.

Begin to draft a paper in which you analyze the two research approaches as indicated below.

Reflect on the overall value of both quantitative and qualitative research. If someone were to say to you, “Qualitative research is not real science,” how would you respond?

To complete this Assignment:

Complete the two critiques using the appropriate templates (see attached files).

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

Contrast the types of information that you gained from examining the two different research approaches in the articles that you selected.

Describe the general advantages and disadvantages of the two research approaches featured in the articles. Use examples from the articles for support.

Formulate a response to the claim that qualitative research is not real science. Highlight the general insights that both quantitative and qualitative studies can provide to researchers. Support your response with references to the Learning Resources and other credible sources.

As you complete this Assignment, remember to:

Submit your paper to Grammarly and Turnitin through the Walden Writing Center. Based on the Grammarly and Turnitin reports, revise your paper as necessary.

Reminder: The School of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references. The School of Nursing Sample Paper provided at the Walden Writing Center provides an example of those required elements (available from the Walden University website found in this week’s Learning Resources). All papers submitted must use this formatting.

Combine all three parts of this assignment into one Word document including both critique templates and the narrative with your references. Submit this combined document.

APA Format

Using the Medicare Hospital Compare website; research two hospitals. One hospital should display a high level of quality and the other hospital should display a low level of quality.

After thoroughly researching your hospitals on the Medicare Hospital Compare website, discuss how their quality performance differs. What is the first hospital doing that is yielding a high level of quality? What could the second hospital do to increase their level of quality? Finally, how would you increase value to the services provided by both hospitals?

This is an opportunity for you to explore the practical application of quality research in healthcare. I encourage you to respond in first person, share personal experiences, and ask questions to further develop your understanding of quality performance and value in healthcare.

MUST BE ATLEAST 300 WORDS. APA STYLE A MUST!!!!!!!

 

Collaborate with professionals across the health care system in order to find the gap in care or social determinants resulting in poor outcomes. Begin to take the lead to advocate and collaborate for the population at risk.

During this week of your practicum begin to identify a population at risk in your community that you will discuss for the next six weeks and use to create a Population-Based Nursing Care Project. Some examples of population health problems are: obesity, teen pregnancy, diabetes, infectious diseases, and childhood immunization. Discuss with your team the prevalent health problems in your practice and in your community. How can you address these health problems at the population level? Some possible resources to clarify the health problem include your local department of health, other professionals and agencies involved with the population at risk, and community groups. Read more about populations in your textbook.
Please address the following in your discussions:

  • Briefly describe the community where you live and setting in which you practice.
  • What health problems are prevalent in your practice and/or in your community?
  • For the purpose of the Population-Based Nursing Care Project, choose a population at risk. Describe the health problem and specific population.
  • Help each other refine and clarify the health problem.

Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature.

 

 

As PHNs we work with populations in the community. For this practicum, you will chose a population from your community and health issue that will be and used for your project. If you are having difficulty choosing a population, look at the sections in the book that discusses “Vulnerable Populations”. That may help you decide on a population that interests you. Also, remember, this project is a community-based project. That means it should be a project that works with populations in the community and not one which is clinically orientated. Your project should focus on a primary or secondary level of prevention. Once a person already has a disease (eg. Diabetes, CHF, mental health issues) the level of prevention become tertiary. If you need some additional information on the levels of prevention, see this webpage:

http://phprimer.afmc.ca/Part1-TheoryThinkingAboutHealth/Chapter4BasicConceptsInPreventionSurveillanceAndHealthPromotion/Thestagesofprevention

That is not to say this level is not important, it’s just not the focus of this class.

As the weeks go on, you will be exploring this group, developing interventions for the health concern and evaluating programs. Here is a list of some of the more interesting topics previous students in this class took on:

  1. Sex trafficking prevention
  2. Marketing practices of Big Tobacco to teens.
  3. Prevention of Alcohol use among teens.
  4. Prenatal care for minority women.
  5. Neural tube defect prevention.
  6. Prevention of substance abuse in populations with mental health issues.
  7. Cancer screenings among minorities (eg. Breast, cervical…)
  1. Access to care
  2. Health literacy improvement
  3. Access to nutritious food.
  4. STD prevention
  5. Elder abuse prevention
  6. Prevention of heart disease among African Americans
  7. HIV prevention among minorities

 

 

Population-Based Nursing Care Project Team Discussion

Post your responses to the Discussion based on the course requirements. Your initial postings must be 250–350 words (not including the full references). Keep your responses succinct. Your written assignments must follow APA guidelines. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources. Other scholarly sources may also be used to support your work. Refer to the APA Publication Manual to ensure that your in-text citations and reference list are correct.

Please address the following in  your discussions:  Briefly describe the community where you live and setting in which you practice.

·         What health problems are prevalent in your practice and/or in your community?

·         For the purpose of the Population-Based Nursing Care Project, choose a population at risk. Describe the health problem and specific population.

 

·         Help each other refine and clarify the health problem.

These examples are not the only topics you can use. They are just examples. However, once you have decided on a population for your project, you will need to focus on one (1) health issue which you feel is of importance in this community.  I will need to approve your choices for this project. I have restrictions on these issues diabetes, obesity and fall prevention. Unless you can prove either the incidence of these issues are catastrophic or you know of a unique intervention, these health issues will not be approved.

Explain how the core functions of community/public health nursing and the standards of practice are met with that specific role.
