Part One
Module 1: Research Article Appraisal, Part One
Instructions: A major skill that is learned in this course is how to critically read and appraise
nursing research articles. The purpose for appraising an article is to evaluate the research
process followed by the author(s) of the assigned article. This information-intensive, time-
intensive process is not learned overnight. To demonstrate your skill at appraising an article, you
will complete this open-book short answer assignment.
Here's how you should approach completing this week’s assignment to begin appraising an
article:
1. First, do your assigned reading in Gray, Grove, & Sutherland (2017). This will
introduce you to the skills you will need for the week.
2. Skim the entire instructor assigned research article that has been posted on
Blackboard for you so that you will have an idea of what it is about. Then, for this week,
re-read carefully the introduction / literature review /theoretical framework and methods
sections of the article again.
3. Print the Research Article Appraisal, Part One Assignment and find the best answer to
each question based on your Gray, Grove, & Sutherland (2017) assigned reading for the
week and on what you have read in the instructor assigned research article.
4. Some of the questions in the appraisal assignment below will seem unfamiliar to you.
Look up key terms from the question in your textbook. Some examples of these terms
might be: problem statements, hypotheses, or variables. You can also look in Chapter 18
for an example of a critical appraisal (or critique) of a quantitative research article.

5. Download the Assignment so you can type in your answers. Once completed, upload
your Assignment to the assignment link above by the time and date listed on the Course
Schedule. Be thoughtful and review the information that has been given to you to
complete this assignment.
6. APA will only apply to quotations and citations in the assignment as directed. Again,
do not use quotations unless directed in the assignment.
If you have questions about this assignment, you can post them to the Coach Group discussion
board for help. Please do not ask the group for the answer as this would constitute academic
dishonesty.
