Description

For this assignment, you will locate a minimum of 4 research articles related to the topic questions that you developed in Week 2. The articles must be current (2002 to the present), and two articles must be quantitative, and two articles must be qualitative.

  • Articles used for one assignment can't be used for the other assignments(students should find new research articles for each assignment).
  • The selected articles should be original research articles. Review articles, meta-analysis, meta-synthesis, and systemic review should not be used.
  • Mixed-methods studies should not be used.

There are two parts to this assignment.

Part 1: Complete a Rapid Critical Appraisal Checklist chart for each research article (4 total).

Part II: Write a summary (2–3 pages)

  • Describe the similarities and differences among the four research articles.

You should:

  • Use current APA format to style your paper and to cite your sources.
  • Submit the 4 completed charts along with your summary.

Elements for Analysis

Why was the study done?
What is the problem as it is presented in the
research study article?
Will the study solve a problem relevant to
nursing?

What is the study setting?

Review Findings

The study was done to investigate how parental
concern regarding child weight influences child
behaviors, practices of parenting, and features of a
household.
The problem in the research study article is that low
levels of parental concern about weight status of
children is a potential barrier to obesity prevention
efforts.

Yes, the study will help identify how parents can be
used as key partners in preventing obesity in their
children.

The study setting is a parent-child dyads in a
randomized controlled trial for obesity prevention in
Minneapolis.

What is the sample size? (Size can and should
vary according to the nature of the study.)
What was the process for randomization?

Are instruments of the variables in the study
clearly defined and reliable?

What are the independent and dependent
variables in this study?
Are the operational definitions of the
variables given? If so, are they concrete and
measurable?
Is the research question or the hypothesis
stated? What is it?

How were the data analyzed?

Were there any unusual events during the study
Did participants drop from the research? Why?

The study used four hundred and twenty one parentchild dyads recruited from the primary care clinics
in the metropolitan areas of Minneapolis- St. Paul
This was a cross-sectional analysis using baseline
data from an ongoing randomized controlled trial

The study clearly defines the instruments of the
variables in the study as child BMI, parent
classification of child weight and parent concern
regarding child weight, diet related variables, and
physical activity related variables, and media related
variables.
The dependent variables in the study were diet
related variables, PA-related variables, and media.
The independent variable was the parental concern
regarding child weight variable.
Yes, the study defines the operational definitions of
the variables like BMI, Child Feeding
Questionnaire, and ActiGraph GT1M
accelerometers.
No, the study does not state the research question.
However, the objective of the study is to describe
parental perception regarding child weight and
concern about child weight.

The data was analyzed using SAS software.

One of the unusual events in the study was loss of
data in presenting parent perceived child weight and
concern of child weight
No, participants did not drop from the research.

How do the results fit in with previous research
in this area? (Compare to your other sources.)
Do the studies build upon previous research?

What are the implications of the research for
clinical practice?
Is the study relevant and important to the
clinical question?
Are the results applicable to your set or subset
of patients or sample, identify the risks and
benefits of a treatment recommendation or
conform to patient preferences?
What are the findings as reported by the
researcher?

The results of the study are relevant to prevention of
childhood obesity since studies have shown that low
perception of obesity risk among parents is an
impediment towards efforts of promoting healthy
child weight.
Yes, the study builds in research which shows the
importance of strategies to raise parental awareness
regarding the risk of ob...
