Evidence-based project, part 4: critical appraisal of research
For Part 4A, it is important to use the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template provided in the Resources to guide your appraisal. Start by filling out the details of the article, such as the title, authors, and publication date. Then, use the worksheet to critically appraise the article by answering questions related to the study design, sampling, data collection, analysis, results, and conclusions. This will help you determine the quality and relevance of the research and its potential impact on nursing practice.
For Part 4B, use the results of your appraisal to suggest a best practice that emerges from the research. This should be based on the evidence presented in the articles and should be supported by APA citations. Be sure to justify your proposal by explaining why it is the best practice and how it aligns with the research findings.
