Quality Appraisal of Research Studies
·         Does the researcher identify what is known and not known about the problem and how the study will address any gaps in knowledge?·         Was the purpose of the study clearly presented?
·         Was the literature review current (most sources within last 5 years or classic)?
·         Was sample size sufficient based on study design and rationale?
·         If there is a control group:
o    Were the characteristics and/or demographics similar in both the control and intervention groups?
o    If multiple settings were used, were the settings similar?
o    Were all groups equally treated except for the interventiongroup(s)?
·         Are data collection methods described clearly?
·         Were the instruments reliable (Cronbach’s α [alpha]> 0.70)?
·         Was instrument validity discussed?
·         If surveys/questionnaires were used, was the response rate >25%?
·         Were the results presented clearly?
·         If tables were presented, was the narrative consistent with the table content?
·         Were study limitations identified and addressed?
·         Were conclusions based on results?		 £Yes

Quality Rating Based on quality appraisal

AHigh quality:  consistent, generalizable results; sufficient sample size for the study design; adequate control; definitive conclusions; consistent recommendations based on comprehensiveliterature review that includes thorough reference to scientific evidence
BGood quality: reasonably consistent results; sufficient sample size for the study design; some control, and fairly definitive conclusions; reasonably consistent recommendations based on fairly comprehensive literature review that includes some reference to scientific evidence
C  Low quality or major flaws: little evidence with inconsistent results; insufficient sample size for the study design; conclusions cannot be drawn

Research priorities on nursing leadership

Research priorities on nursing leadership
This week’s Discussion asks you to choose a research priority from the list that is shared in your Resources for the week.  You are asked to find 2-3 articles that address the selected priority, and based on what you find in those articles and in your searches more generally, reflect on the state of research in the priority area you have chosen.
To do this, you will need to:

  • identify Nursing databases useful for this research
  • identify search terms that will produce useful search results in the Nursing databases
  • conduct a search that turns up useful results on a chosen research topic from the Resource listed
  • assess the current state of research on your selected priority, based on the existence (or non-existence) of results

The Walden University Library can help!  On this page you will find information on a Library Lab that offers live instruction on how to research this discussion post.  See the box below for details on dates and times that the Lab is offered live, as well as links to watch recordings of previous sessions.
You will also find guidance on how to choose useful databases, identify good search terms, and conduct an effective search.  Then, you can draw your conclusions about the state of research for the priority you have chosen, and respond to the discussion post.
