Building upon the skills you acquired in NRSG 5220 Introduction to Nursing Research in reviewing quantitative and qualitative research studies, present an overview sample of the evidence which will serve in informing the material your team will present in the capstone essay.
This is an individual assignment in which each team member will provide a literature overview of two primary research studies from peer reviewed nursing journals and/or related professional journals, each with a publication date within the past five years. These studies should be original research, and not literature reviews, meta-analyses, or systematic reviews.
For this assignment:
- Create a properly formatting cover/title page
- Use the pre-formatted templates provided for quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods studies. You will be typing your responses for each article directly on to the appropriate template.
- Please note that responses provided on the template should summarize and paraphrase the information you are gathering from each source. It is not appropriate to copy and paste information from your research articles onto the template. The only exceptions to this would be research questions and/or hypotheses that are germane to a study.
- A separate reference page is not required for this assignment as students will be required to provide properly formatted reference entries on the literature overview templates.
In the selection of your studies for the literature overview, you will want to consider those resources that will assist your team in addressing the strategic action plan and key topical areas that will be considered as part of the capstone essay, namely:
- Leading, Managing and Following: Nursing Roles and Responsibilities
- Patient Safety, Quality and the Process of Change
- Regulation and Legal Obligations to the Patient, the Health Care System and the Profession
- Intro and Interdisciplinary Communication and Collaboration
- Nursing Resource Management
- Technology
Team members should be sure to share their intended references with each member to avoid duplication and enhance the evidence collected towards the team capstone project.
Please note that this section will contain only a sample of the literature and evidence that you may use in preparation of your capstone essay.
I attached a copy of my capstone project action plan, along with the template for this assignment. Feel free to reach out to me for any questions.
