Literature Evaluation Table

     
In nursing practice, accurate identification and application of  research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. Being able to  articulate the information and successfully summarize relevant  peer-reviewed articles in a scholarly fashion helps to support the  student’s ability and confidence to further develop and synthesize the  progressively more complex assignments that constitute the components  of the course change proposal capstone project.
For this assignment, the student will provide a synopsis of eight  peer-reviewed articles from nursing journals using an evaluation table  that determines the level and strength of evidence for each of the  eight articles. The articles should be current within the last 5 years  and closely relate to the PICOT statement developed earlier in this  course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive  analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A  systematic review may be used to provide background information for  the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project.  Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” resource to complete  this assignment.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment,  solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and  references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines,  which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student  Success Center.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to  beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for  successful completion.
You are not required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.
