6.  Critically evaluate nursing research literature.  (Essential III.4; III.5)
7.  Discuss research findings relevant to nursing practice.  (Essential III.8)
MODULE 6 OBJECTIVES

1.   Identify the steps of the research process in research articles. (CO 4)
2.   Describe how to appraise nursing research for a review of the literature. (CO 6).

GUIDELINES FOR WRITING ASSIGNMENTS
This assignment should be written as a formal paper, with a title page, body of the paper (using headings to guide the reader through the paper), and a reference page.  
The use of headings should be the same as the criteria in the grading guide below.
Please use correct grammar, spelling, sentence/paragraph structure, and 7th ed. APA format. (Specific requirements for this assignment are in the grading guide below.) 
If a section is worth more points the expectation would be that the depth of that section is greater than one that is worth less points. 
Please support the points in your paper with references from scholarly sources (peer-reviewed, scholarly articles, reliable websites; no blogs or editorials). 
The content of your paper should be sufficiently detailed to communicate understanding and application of the topic.   
It is imperative that a student use the feedback provided on the Module 3 Article Appraisal Assignment on the one article and integrate the information into the Literature Review Paper. Although the student was not expected to appraise all three articles for the Module 3 assignment, the student gleaned understanding of how to appraise articles by doing the one appraisal in Module 3 and receiving instructor feedback. In this paper, a student will be expected to appraise ALL THREE ARTICLES for this final assignment. Not doing this will result in point deductions. 
When submitting the paper into the “Literature Review Paper” in “Assignments”, it will automatically be submitted to Turnitinn, a program that checks for similarity of the paper to published works and other student work. The student will be able to view the report in the Canvas assignment in Canvas.  
Literature Review Paper Grading Guidelines
The paper should be written using 7th ed. APA format and have the following sections and subsections:
Introduction: The Introduction/Overview states the paper’s intent and should be concise and complete. Cite at least one more additional source to support this section of your paper that is in addition to the three appraised articles.
Article Reviews: For all three appraised articles, there should be completion of the following sections and subsections.
Conceptual Framework: Describe the Conceptual Framework for this article.  If there was none listed in the article include these details in this section.  Discuss what framework was used and provide details about the framework.
Population: Discuss the population used in this study, as well as what populations were included and excluded. 
Methodology & Tools: Each of these requires a separate section (with separate heading).
Level of Evidence: Discuss the level of evidence that the article was determined to be.
Findings & Data Analysis: Discuss data analysis methods and the findings of the article.
Strengths, Limitations, Applicability, and Feasibility: Each of these requires a separate section (with separate heading).
Conclusion: Include a synthesis of the three articles: This will be an overview comparing the findings. Use proper citations for each of the three articles in the section.
The following are guidelines for writing the Literature Review Paper:
Paper should be a minimum of 1,500 to 2,000 words, not including title or references pages. A 10% overage in word count is allowed before deduction in points. There is to be no less than 1500 words (excludes title and reference pages).
