Description

Evaluate the study and write a critique, using the textbook and relevant journal articles to support your analysis of the study. Use the following section headings and content in your paper.

  1. Introduction
    • State the purpose of the paper. Clearly identify the study being critiqued, by title and authors. Summarize the research question, hypothesis (if a quantitative study), and background information on the topic from the study’s literature review. Did the authors present a well-balanced summary of current knowledge about the topic? Is there any apparent bias in the literature review?
  2. Methods
    • Differentiate the research design (experimental or non-experimental) and approach (qualitative or quantitative), sampling method, and data collection methods. Indicate the sample size, variables and measures (if a quantitative study), statistical tests (if a quantitative study), coding and analysis procedures (if a qualitative study), and any assumptions made by the researchers. Were the procedures chosen appropriate for the study? What alternative methods would you suggest?
  3. Ethical Aspects
    • Analyze ethical issues pertaining to this study. Did the researchers explicitly address ethical issues in the article? If not, was there evidence in the report that the participants’ safety and confidentiality were protected? Was an approval process by an Institutional Review Board or similar ethics review committee mentioned? Were any of the practices ethically questionable (deception, coercion, etc.)?
  4. Results
    • Present a summary of the results of the analysis performed in the study. Did the authors keep their interpretations and conclusions separate from the analysis results (evidence)?
  5. Discussion and Conclusion
    • Analyze and critique the conclusions drawn by the researchers. Do the conclusions follow logically from the results of the analysis? Evaluate the overall efficacy of the research study by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of aspects of its design and implementation. Identify the limitations noted by the researchers and add any limitations you see that were not mentioned in the article. Describe the directions for future research proposed by the authors and evaluate their appropriateness. Recommend at least one idea for a future study that will overcome some of the limitations of this study. Keep in mind that this suggested future study will serve as the basis for your Final Paper.

Your paper should be four to six pages in length (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Utilize a minimum of five sources that were published within the last 10 years and are documented in APA style. These sources should include the article being critiqued, at least three peer-reviewed journal articles, and the course textbook.

Research Article Critique: Journal of Nursing
In this day and age, many young people are getting involved in so many habits that are
making them addicts who are tied to the behaviors and cannot do without fulfilling them; take
for example the use of alcohol and hard drugs such as cocaine and heroin. As such, there is a
need to establish rehabilitation centers and other health care facilities that can improve the
lives of these young and able men and women. With regards to that, Terence McCann and
Dan Lubman carried out a qualitative study that was conducted by on the level of satisfaction
with the quality of care that the young people suffering from depression received from a
primary youth mental health service.
Their research question was to what extent are the young people suffering from
depression satisfied with the quality of care that they receive from the healthcare providers in
a primary youth mental health center. The background information from the study is that
although several types of research regarding adult mental health care provision have been
documented, there is little research that has been carried out relating to the satisfaction of
young people with the mental health care that they are receiving (McCann & Lubman, 2012).
The hypothesis of the study was that young people are not satisfied with the quality of health
care that they are receiving. The authors did a very good account of the literature review
based on several findings as it had no bias and it was able to justify the need of the research
and its implication among the youth suffering from depression.
The research design that was employed in the study that was conducted was a nonexperimental design as there were no controls in the study. The researchers also used a
qualitative study as the information that was required was one that assessed the level of
satisfaction of the youth thereby making the research a qualitative study (McCann &
Lubman, 2012). With regards to the sampling method, the purposive sampling wa...
