NSG6101 Nursing Research Methods Week 1 Project   Quantitative Annotated Bibliography In this week’s discussion question you were asked to consider a potential problem (appropriate to your role option) that you would like to investigate through nursing research. For this assignment you will review current research from South’s Online Library and provide a critical evaluation on that research through an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a brief summary and analysis of the journal article reviewed. For more information on annotated bibliographies please visit Purdue’s OWL: Purdue Online Writing Lab A total of two annotated bibliographies are to be submitted (not to exceed one page each). The articles must come from nursing scholarly literature and may not be older than 5 years since publication. Please note that the articles must be research based and reflect a quantitative methodology (review our reading assignments). Web pages, magazines, textbooks, and other books are not acceptable. Each annotation must address the following critical elements: Explanation of the main purpose and scope of the cited work Brief description of the research conducted Value and significance of the work (e.g., study’s findings, scope of the research project) as a contribution to the subject under consideration Possible shortcomings or bias in the work Conclusions or observations reached by the author Summary as to why this research lends evidence to support the potential problem identified specific to your role option.   NSG6101 Nursing Research Methods Week 2 Project   Human Research Protection During this course, you will learn the components required for a research study. Each week you will learn components of the research process through your readings and application of the knowledge gained to published research articles.   During this week, you are expected to examine the protection of human subjects in research from early research studies, through the development of research codes to current research standards. The aim is to familiarize you with the ethical issues associated with research and gain firsthand information of the processes used to protect research participants. Task: View each of the You Tube clips listed below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz8ge4aw8Ws Caring Corrupted: The Killing Nurses of the Third Reich https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O5gsF5oyls   Research Ethics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86zWBjDaXPk    Belmont Report Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIafASIIU70    Belmont Report Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFik0of3iUM    IRB   (Institutional Review Board) After viewing each video, write two paragraphs about each video describing the purpose of the video and discussed one point from each video that you think is important regarding protecting human subjects in research and provided rationale. Your submission should be 400-500 words, using APA style.   NSG6101 Nursing Research Methods Week 10 Project   Overview/Description: The final project for NSG6101 consists of the development of a novel research proposal specific to your role specialization. The project must include an intervention appropriate to nursing practice and consistent with your MSN role option. An alternative to the above includes the selection of a specialty organization to focus research proposals based on the priorities of that organization. Examples of these organizations could include (but are not limited to): Sigma Theta Tau International, American Nurses’ Foundation, Oncology Nursing Society, Association of Nurses in AIDS Care, American Psychiatric Nursing Association, American Association of Critical Care Nurses, National Association of Pediatric Nurse Associates and Practitioners, National League For Nursing, etc. Throughout this course you have been developing various sections of the research proposal. This week you will assemble the final proposal (addressing faculty feedback). This paper is to be developed in APA format/style using the required template and not to exceed 8-10 pages (excluding title page/references/appendices). Criteria: Introduction Background and Significance of Problem Statement of the Problem and Purpose of the Study Literature Review Summary of the Evidence for the Proposed Study Research Question, Hypothesis, and Variables with Operational Definitions Theoretical Framework Overview and Guiding Propositions(s) Described in Theory Application of Theory to Your Study’s/Project’s Focus Methodology Sample/Setting: Number and criteria for inclusion and description of place in which data will be collected. Sampling Strategy Research Design: Type (e.g., Quasi-Experimental), description, and rationale for selection. Extraneous Variables (and plan for how controlled). Instruments: Description, validity, and reliability estimates, which have been performed (on a pre-established measure). Include plans for testing validity and reliability of generating your own instrument(s). Description of the Intervention Data Collection Procedures Data Analysis Plans Describe plan for data analysis for demographic variables (descriptive statistical tests). Describe plan for data analysis of study variables (descriptive and inferential statistical tests). Ethical Issues Describe ethical considerations and your plan to protect human rights. Limitation of Proposed Study Implications for Practice References Appendices Informed Consent Letter Procedure section is clear, described in detail, specific, and all inclusive. Written in lay language (as documented by reading level score). Includes risks and benefits relevant to study. Address assent (if applicable).
