NUR 601 Theory and Research in Nursing
Topic Review Table
Fall 2016
Guidelines —Students will select a focus topic area in nursing
administration and leadership
practice and review recent progress in this particular topic. The
table will summarize the
current state of knowledge on the topic using the template
provided and will serve as the basis
for the Research Utilization EBP Project Paper. The table will
be part of the appendix of the
RU/EBP Project Paper.
The topic review table will consist of a list several original
articles on the sante topic to
produce a complete summary of the current content on the topic.

This topic review table can be
used for coherent arguments about the topic or focus area in the
field; an interpretation of the
primary literature on the subject; students' conclusions based
upon a synthesis of the results
from several primary literature papers.
Purpose - to succinctly review recent progress in a particular
topic by locating, critiquing, and
summarizing the findings presented in recent research papers.
Ultimate Goal - Synthesize the results from several primary
literature papers to produce a
coherent argument about a topic or focused description of a
field for the Research
Utilization/Evidence Based Research Paper.
The emphasis is to obtain and interpret the primary literature on
the subject. You need to
read several original research articles on the same topic and
make your own conclusions about
the meanings of those papers when you include them in the
Research Utilization/Evidence-Based
Practice Paper.
Instructions —
1. This assignment requires you to complete four items. Three
items will be in the Excel
document and one will be a WORD document.
a. EXCEL document
i. Identify a topic or focus area in nursing administration or
leadership that is
of interest to you. Listed in the yellow area of the first tab of

the EXCEL
file. Develop a question related to this topic or focus area —
e.g. "What is
the evidence that XXX interventions in AAA (individuals/area)
effects a
change in YYY [nursing administration/leadership focus
topic]?"
ii. Complete the first tab with information related to each
document you have
reviewed, which comprises your topic review table.
iii. The second tab requires you to place the column number you
used for
each article, article title, and the associated hyperlink per
article.
b. WORD document
i. Prepare and APA reference page of all of the documents. You
will turn in
this initial APA reference list when you submit you Topic
Review Table
file. Both will have a Dropbox in the Assessment area of D2L.
This will
come in very handy when you complete your paper. For the
paper, you
will add any additional references you required to document
sources for
any statements to support your position.

2. The third and fourth tabs of the EXCEL file contain the
quality and level parameters for
your review. Each article entry will require you to judge the
article on quality and level.
3. Research current sources — refer to PPT for source
suggestions listed in D2L to assist
your search.
4. Use the EXCEL template for the table. Articles should be
listed in alphabetical order in
the columns. When saving your document in this template, use
your last name and topic
table so that the file will look the following example the file
extension:

5. The template is setup so that the first column lists the
required characteristics needed of
each article. This column is frozen in place so that it is visible
as the student scrolls
columns left and right.
6. Complete "Supporting Evidence Summary Table Template"
and use as a working
document for your Research Utilization/Evidence Based

Research Paper
a. Fill in the topic/focus question at the top of the table
b. Fill in data for each of the columns —
i. Evidence Article number & title;
ii. Author, Year;
iii. Type of Study
iv. Study Setting
v. Variables
vi. Frameworks/Theories
vii. Study Design
viii. Sample Size
ix. Sampling method
x. Sample Characteristics
xi. Data Sources/Data Quality
xii. Intervention
xiii. Study Results
xiv. Limitations of Evidence;
xv. Recommendations
xvi. Evidence Rating - Level/Quality (refer to tables for Key on
Level Ratings)
c. Prepare a reference list WORD document in APA style of all
of the sources cited
in the evidence table.
7. Attach completed Evidence Summary Table in appendix of
RU/EBP paper, as well as in
the Dropbox for the assignment. Ensure that all sources listed
are cited in the body of the

paper.
8. This assignment is worth a total of 50 points.

REQUIREMENTS REGARDING ASSIGNED PAPERS:
Final grades for this class will be based upon your performance
in group
discussions/class participation and assignments.
Class Absences - Unless you have contacted me beforehand or
as soon as possible and
have explained the special circumstances, absences of two or
more weeks and/or no
communication for two weeks may result in a failing grade for
the course.
All papers and assignments are to be submitted to the Dropbox.
Papers will be initially
assessed using plagiarism detection to determine originality.
Papers must include primary
sources and class readings as citations and in the reference list;
and must use the APA
Manual 6th edition for style, proper grammar, punctuation and
sentence structure is
expected. Save all of your formal assignments in Microsoft
Word. Remember to always
back up your work on a disk or flash drive and make a hard
copy for your files before
submitting your work
Late papers: Failure to submit assignments on time will result in
lowering the student's
final grade by 10% for each late submission for two days
following the due date; no
grade will be given beyond that time period. Exceptions may be
made on a case-by-case
basis if the student notifies the instructor prior to the due date.
Incomplete preparation for
group work and/or inadequate group participation in one or

more assignments (as noted
by the peer group and/or faculty member) will result in the loss
of points. Total lack of
discussion or contribution to any group assignment will result in
"0" grade for that
individual grade.
Final grades for this class will be based upon your performance
in group discussions,
class participation and assignments. The assignments require
weekly class attendance and
readings.
Papers/Assignments:
General Guidelines - proper grammar, punctuation and sentence
structure is
expected. Save all of your formal assignments as Microsoft
Office documents.

confoim with APA style.
Research Utilization EBP Project Paper (150 points) — Students
will identify a

researchable issue/problem in nursing administration or
leadership, include an
underlying theoretical framework, and analyze research
evidence for its potential
application to the chosen nursing administration and leadership
practice issue/problem
through a critical critique of supporting evidence sources.
Relationships among the
focus area, research problem, and the available research and
supporting evidence, will
be synthesized through the development of a RU/EBP
implementation and evaluation
plan.
