NSG 512 Week 3 Study Analysis Critiquing Research Designs
A study’s design method section should explicitly detail how the author
conducted research and assessed the hypothesis. This is vital because it
allows other researchers to replicate the design methods as a secondary
source or in a systematic review for possible health care implications.
Analyze the study design of one of the studies you selected in Week 1
by writing a response to the questions in one of the following:
• Box 9.1 Guidelines for Critiquing Research Designs
in Quantitative Studies located on p. 210 of Nursing Research if
you selected the quantitative study
• Box 21.1 Guidelines for Critiquing Qualitative Designs located on
p. 483 of Nursing Research if you selected the qualitative study
• Type your answers in a Microsoft® Word document using the
template provided in the Class Messages.
• Include the article’s title before your answers.
Provide APA-formatted in-text citations and references for all sources.

NSG 512 Week 5 Learning Team Systematic Review Critique
Systematic reviews are the pillars of evidence-based health care and are
secondary research, which is the development of a study based upon
prior research. Researchers compile studies into one review and conduct
a thorough analysis of an issue. These reviews allow researchers to
judge the quality of studies and make suggestions after replicating the
research methods used. This method of research is popular in the health
care industry because it identifies solutions to complex issues, increases
accuracy, and resolves discrepancies.
