Critical appraisal research

M2 Quantitative Building Exercise : FIRST POST DUE 8AM Feb 17-FINAL POST DUE Feb 19 (Group does initial post; Individuals must interact with & respond to peers)

Assignment AI Permissions:

AI Not Permitted

This Building Exercise is completed with the designated Research Partner (RP) and individual participation is also required. One RP must post the group’s combined response, and each partner must contribute meaningfully to the work. All RPs must then participate individually in the discussion by responding to comments directed to the group posting and by engaging with other student posts.

The exercise uses the assigned article to examine how an MSN-prepared nurse appraises a research article using a quantitative research design. Because multiple quantitative research designs exist, all comments must address the specific research design used in the article, rather than quantitative methods in general.

Assigned Article:

Lin, P. H., Fu, S. H., Lee, Y. C., Yang, S. Y., & Li, Y. L. (2024). Examining the effects of binaural beat music on sleep quality, heart rate variability, and depression in older people with poor sleep quality in a long-term care institution: A randomized controlled trial. Geriatrics & Gerontology International, 24(3), 297304.

The study uses a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design.

Each RP group is assigned a specific section of the appraisal checklist to complete and post under the designated discussion topic. Each posting must include a brief statement identifying the contributions of both RPs. This transparency supports accountability and strengthens group discussion.

Here is the RP assignment list:

After the first posting is submitted, remain prepared to engage in discussion and respond to questions from classmates and/or faculty.

GRADING OF THE Building Exercise:

Performance will be evaluated using the rubric associated with this assignment. Students should review the rubric before submitting a post, as it outlines the criteria for optimal performance, expectations for engagement, and requirements for APA formatting.
