NSG 456 University of Phoenix Wk 4 Finding Evidence Mental Health Articles Review

 

Evidence that supports a conclusion is part of the research process. Literature reviews often accompany research papers in the form of a summary and synthesis of the published information about the research topic. Although this week’s assignment is not a literature review, it is designed to familiarize you with the practice of finding appropriate sources and information on a topic.

Find three original research articles that apply to your research topic. The articles must be

  • peer reviewed,
  • recent (published within 5 years), and
  • statistically significant.

Write a 200-250word summary of each article in which you identify

  • participants
  • independent variable(s),
  • dependent variable(s),
  • methods, and
  • results.

Determine whether these articles are suitable for inclusion in a literature review for your research topic.

  • If they are not, explain why. 
  • If they are, explain how the information can be used to inform practice.
