A journal article review is an important course assignment.
See guidelines and detailed instructions bellow. Articles should be from peer-reviewed or scholarly journals and relate to the field of study.

To successfully accomplish the main objectives of this assignment, students will perform a critical, constructive analysis of recently published studies (journal articles) in the healthcare or public health fields through summary, classification, analysis and comparison. A review and critique of the methodological approach and discussion of the applications in the field are expected.

Establishing the Research Context

Once you are reasonably familiar with the article, it is important to gain an understanding of the research context.

Article to be reviewed/critiqued: Instructor will select the main topic. Student will select the subtopic of her/his interest.

Instructions:

Read critically the article. Many journal articles can be quite complex and use complicated wording and statistics. You may need to read the article a few times before you get a full grasp of it.

Note: The Methods section of each article should be carefully review.

Students should address the following topics/sections from the article:

1. Identify the study design. (10 points)
2. Report the sample size, power and sampling methods used. (10 points)
3. Identify the variables (indicators) explored/analyzed in the study.
   
   1. Independent/Explanatory/Predictor. (Quantitative/Qualitative) (15 points)
   2. Dependent/Response/Outcome. (Quantitative/Qualitative) (15 points)
4. Construct, based on your article review, two research question(s) related to the study. (15 points)
5. Include the purpose of the article. (10 points)
6. Report the most relevant findings. You could also use tables/charts from the article. (10 points)
7. Analyze and discuss the main implications of the study for Healthcare/Public Health and how
   knowledge in the area could be expanded and applied. (10 points)
8. Report the journal articles using the American Psychological Association’s (APA) format.
   (5 points)
9. Submit your summary (assignment) via Canvas on due date. Due date: In Course Syllabus.

Quite often, nurse leaders are faced with ethical dilemmas, such as those associated with choices between competing needs and limited resources. Resources are finite, and competition for those resources occurs daily in all organizations.

For example, the use of 12-hour shifts has been a strategy to retain nurses. However, evidence suggests that as nurses work more hours in a shift, they commit more errors. How do effective leaders find a balance between the needs of the organization and the needs of ensuring quality, effective, and safe patient care?

In this Discussion, you will reflect on a national healthcare issue and examine how competing needs may impact the development of polices to address that issue.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and think about the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously selected for study in Module 1.
• Reflect on the competing needs in healthcare delivery as they pertain to the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously examined.

Post an explanation of how competing needs, such as the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients, may impact the development of policy. Then, describe any specific competing needs that may impact the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected. What are the impacts, and how might policy address these competing needs? Be specific and provide examples.

 discussion response should be in the range of 250-300 words 

 All responses need to be supported by a minimum of one scholarly resource. Journals and websites must be cited appropriately. Citation and reference must adhere to APA format. 

1. Compare and contrast qualitative and quantitative research designs. Think about this in terms of methodology and outcome.
2. If you were to actually conduct your own research study, would your selected evidence-based practice problem/topic lend itself to a qualitative or quantitative design? (Describe specifics around the topic to support your findings.)

Responses need to address all components of the question, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis, and include peer reviewed journal evidence to support the student’s position.

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Please review the rubric to ensure that your response meets the criteria.
