Throughout the RN-to-BSN program, students are required to participate in scholarly activities outside of clinical practice or professional practice. Examples of scholarly activities include attending conferences, seminars, journal club, grand rounds, morbidity and mortality meetings, interdisciplinary committees, quality improvement committees, and any other opportunities available at your site, within your community, or nationally.

Submit, as the assignment, a summary report of the scholarly activity, including who, what, where, when and any relevant take-home points. Include the appropriate program competencies associated with the scholarly activity as well as future professional goals related to this activity. You may use the “Scholarly Activity Summary” resource to help guide this assignment.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

You are not required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.

/in /by

  

This paper will have an 8-page narrative (8 pages maximum – 5 point deduction for over page limit) plus a title page, abstract page, and reference list. 

You must use a minimum of four original research articles for your paper.

The purpose is to write a review of the literature on to answer your PICOT question using original research evidence. Discuss how this health problem is applicable in both the United States and a non-USA country, and appraise four original research studies on this topic.

This is a scholarly paper, written as if it was a “Review of the Literature” article published in a nursing journal. Select articles published within the past five years (2014 to present). Do not use a non-peer review journal. Do not use a literature review article or systematic review article or clinical protocols as one of your articles. At least TWO of the four original research report articles MUST BE authored by nurses and published in a peer-reviewed nursing journal.  At least ONE of the two nursing research studies must address nursing practice in a non-USA country.

  • Page      1: Title page Create a title for your paper. Refer to your APA Manual.
  • Page      2: Abstract The abstract should open with a sentence that will serve      as an introduction to and purpose of the paper. Then describe what is in      each part of the paper. An abstract is usually a brief outline of the      contents of the paper that typically does not exceed 250 words. At the end      of the abstract place the phrase Key Words, and denote 3-4 keywords      that would describe your paper (as for publication and indexing in CINAHL      or PubMed).
  • Pages      3-11: Narrative 
  • Heading:      Significance and Background: Start the paper with a short paragraph      that introduces the health problem in your PICOT question. (Approximately      ½-page).
  • Heading:      Purpose: Clearly define the global health problem, and discuss why it      is important for nursing (why you are discussing this topic).       Discuss what is known about this problem in the United States and in a      non-USA country.  For example, if the focus is adult hypertension,      discuss guidelines for defining hypertension in the US and in a non-USA      country.  (Approximately 1 page).
  • Heading:      Methods: Discuss the methods used to select the following research      studies. Next use the subheading:
  • Sub-headings:      Study #1: Nursing research Study in the USA (Approximately 1½ pages)
  • Sub-headings:      Study #2: Nursing Research Study Non-USA (Approximately 1½ pages)
  • Sub-headings:      Study #3: Nursing Research Study USA or Non-USA (Approximately 1½      pages)
  • Sub-headings:      Study #4: Nursing Research Study USA or Non-USA (Approximately 1½      pages)
  • Heading:      Conclusion.  Summarize the key points from your discussion. How      would you translate (use) the new evidence found from your appraisals to      change practice or answer your PICOT question? (Approximately 1 page).
  • Page      12+: Reference page: Refer to your APA      Manual .

Each of the subheadings should include for each article:

  • What was the purpose of the study (research questions, purposes, and hypotheses)?
  • What was the study design?
  • How was the sample obtained?
  • What inclusion or exclusion criteria were used?
  • Who from the sample actually participated or contributed data? Was the sample size adequate? Explain.
  • What methods were used to collect data (e.g. sequence of events, timing, types of data, and measures)?
  • Was an intervention /treatment/clinical protocol tested?  Explain.
  • What data analysis methods were used?
  • What were the main findings of this study?
  • Was this a credible study? Why? Why not?

There is often the requirement to evaluate descriptive statistics for data within the organization or for health care information. Every year the National Cancer Institute collects and publishes data based on patient demographics. Understanding differences between the groups based upon the collected data often informs health care professionals towards research, treatment options, or patient education.

Using the data on the “National Cancer Institute Data” Excel spreadsheet, calculate the descriptive statistics indicated below for each of the Race/Ethnicity groups. Refer to your textbook and the Topic Materials, as needed, for assistance in with creating Excel formulas.

Provide the following descriptive statistics:

  1. Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median, and Mode
  2. Measures of Variation: Variance, Standard Deviation, and Range (a formula is not needed for Range).
  3. Once the data is calculated, provide a 150-250 word analysis of the descriptive statistics on the spreadsheet. This should include differences and health outcomes between groups.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. 

You are not required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.
