Critiquing Qualitative Research

Dominique presented on Population Health Management and Standardized Care in Type 2 Diabetes. The meeting was held November 1st at 3:00-4:00pm in the Corporate Auditorium at Centura Health Corporate Building. The concentration of her presentation was based on Figure 2 and Figure 2 maps. Figure 1 represents the increase shade of blue proportional to the increase of percentage being told they had diabetes (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,

Critically evaluate the weaknesses/limitations/problems of the article. Is the work thorough? Fair? Clear? Convincing?

It also shows that not having someone to help these patients manage their diabetes as an obstacle to good diabetes management. This study created a plan and this plan was able to be tested to show its effectiveness in diabetes

Diabetic patients will be invited to participate in the voluntary study based on the results of the PHQ-9 depression section of the patient stress questionnaire, a standard measurement tool utilized at the clinic. Patients that agree to participate in the study will be administered the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS), also a standard measurement tool utilized at the clinic. The co-investigator and external researcher will be responsible for consenting participants. The co-investigator and external researcher coordinate consent at the Matthews Free Medical Clinic or a designated off-site location. Individuals whose primary language is Spanish will be provided a translated written consent for participants who are Non-English speaking.

2b) The authors provided the reader a lot of information on the topic. Each topic was very well explored. A lot of different information on different but similar studies. The authors seemed very knowledgeable on the topic. This article lacked a few things. A clear research question and a hypothesis. The paragraphs were not clear and consist, I felt that I had to dig to get certain information. The paper was very wordy, which made me have a hard time understanding the substance.

Evidence is worked into the literature review effectively. The evidence and reasons are organized chronologically, and this organization is extremely important since the proposition focuses on the chronological progression of the argumentation style. One element I think is missing is a conclusion paragraph. The literature review seems to end abruptly on evidence. Score: 3

The convenience sampling that was used in recruiting all male patients who were on blood pressure medications is a glaring bias in this study. There was no information provided addressing why the patients were presenting to the clinic. There are many interventions that can raise blood pressure. For example, the study conducted by Marshall, Anantharachagan, Choudhary, Chue and Kaurhis, (2002) investigated the effect of situational anxiety on blood pressure experienced in anticipation of a blood test. Marshall, et. al., (2002) found that anticipation of a blood test can raise blood pressure. Foster-Fitzpatrick, et. al., 1999 did not address the purpose of the patient’s visit to the clinic.

Described below is a critical appraisal of a qualitative article by Lisa Booth using the frame-work suggested by Ryan, Coughlan and Cronin 2007 to establish its believability, robustness, credibility and integrity (Ryan, Coughlan & Cronin, 2007).

Crombie & Davies (1997) stated that the article title gives an understanding of what the study is going to be about and the author intentions of how the study will be done. The

The qualitative article being appraised is by Martin and Woods (2012) using the CASP tool qualitative framework (CASP 2013). These tools have been validated to ensure that studies can be assessed in a consistent way assessing the trustworthiness of the research article (Aveyard, 2014)

The research method for the second article I chose is quantitative, “Findings From a Quantitative Approach of Nurses Possibly Related to the Nursing Shortage Before Policy Modification in Macao.” The specific research design for the study was a descriptive survey that had 57 items where it measured the participants’ agreement. They were given a 5-point scale, where if they strongly disagreed = 5, and if they strongly agreed =

I have attached the list of students currently registered for the Music Open House, we have five. We need to get confirmation letters out to these students ASAP. Do you want to send those from your department or would you like us to take care of that? Another possibility would be for you to draft a letter, and we could take care of sending it out along with a campus map.

The purpose of this paper is to critique a qualitative research article in all phases of the report. For this purpose, the article that will be used is “Lamentation and loss: expression of caring by contemporary surgical nurses” written by Carol Enns and David Gregory. This paper will address the problem statement, literature review, conceptual underpinnings and research questions, research design/method, ethical considerations, sampling, data collection, data analysis, confirmability of the findings, interpretation and discussion of findings, additional considerations, and rating the scientific merit of a research report.

Our society today consists of many natural processes of reactions that involve in rates. The rate of a reaction is the speed at which a reaction happens. If a reaction has a low rate, that means the molecules combine at a slower speed than a reaction with a higher rate. Some reactions take hundreds, maybe even thousands, of years while others can happen in less than one second. The rate of reaction also depends on the type of molecules that are combining.

Poverty and suffering is considered not out of the norm for many families in Pakistan. Many of them have had to make enormous sacrifices in order to survive in these hard times. As seen in the previous paragraph children who are to sacrifice their education to help the family during times of poverty, may never really be able to receive an education later. For most families that are in the same situation like Rafiq and his family, the basic necessities such as food and water that others take for granted are now considered the highest priority in their lives.
