NURS 6003: Transition to
Graduate Study for Nursing

Module 3 | Part 3: Research Analysis
I have identified one topic of interest for further study. I have researched and identified
one peer-reviewed research article focused on this topic and have analyzed this article.
The results of these efforts are shared below.
Directions: Complete Step 1 by using the table and subsequent space below identify
and analyze the research article you have selected. Complete Step 2 by summarizing in
2-3 paragraphs the results of your analysis using the space identified.

Chapman, S. A., Phoenix, B. J., Hahn, T. E., & Strod, D. C. (2018). Utilization and
economic contribution of psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners in
public behavioral health services. American Journal of Preventive
Medicine, 54(6), S243-S249. https://doi.org/10.

The concepts in the article provide a direction for increasing the utilization of
PMNHPs, especially in the context of increased demand for public behavioral
health care following its accommodation in the Affordable Care Act.
The article establishes the contributions of PMNHPs beyond their limited scope of
work, providing a case against state and federal restrictions on their
responsibilities and practice.

Strengths of the
Research
The study used
empirical methods
to identify the
financial
contribution of
PMNHPs.

Limitations of the
Research
The study used a
convenience sample
from one state,
making it less
generalizable.

Relevancy to
Topic of Interest
The
underutilization of
nurse practitioners
is a nationwide
concern, and study
conclusions need
to represent this
population.

The article relied
on primary data,
which is more
reliable than
secondary data.

In some instances,
the study relied on
information reported
from counties that
may have a special
interest in its
conclusions.

The article
identified a gap in
current practice.

Some of the data
obtained were
incomplete and
inconsistent.

The issue of the
scope of work has
multiple interested
parties, including
physicians, nurses,
and the
government
(Finley, 2020).
Research on the
issue should
remain objective to
be reliable.
Inconsistent and
incomplete data
makes it
challenging to
conclude, which is
a significant

Notes
PMNHP
utilization is a
significant
concern since
the number of
psychiatrists
available to
the population
is falling while
the need
increases
(Finley, 2020).

Counties use
different
standards to
store data on
issues such as
billing and

concern, especially
under the current
movement towards
evidence-based
practice
The study provides
a direction to
improve mental
health outcomes
countrywide.

The use of
interviews allowed
the researchers to
collect more
information, such
as the attitude of
PMNHPs towards
their salary
differences with
psychiatrists.

The study was
sponsored by the
U.S Department of
Health and Human
Service, introducing
bias into methods
and conclusions.

The use of
interviews possibly
affected the
responses of some
of the participants
since there was little
anonymity

costs related
to PMNHPs,
resulting in
inconsistent
data.
Funding from
the
Department of
Health is less
controversial
than other
agencies
considering it
is their
responsibility
to improve
health
outcomes for
the public

The experiences of
PMNHPs are
essential to
policies that seek
to govern their
practice.
Therefore, even
though interviews
can introduce bias,
the expert opinion
of PMNHPs is
integral

This article helps chart the future of PMNHP practice. However, its findings are
preliminary and not sufficient to inform professional practice. Al-Jundi and Sakka (2017)
suggest that evidence-based practice must use the best existing evidence from
systematic research. However, this study alone does not provide sufficient clinical
evidence for immediate application. Notably, each new piece of evidence that has been
integrated into professional practice began from preliminary studies that provided a
focus for later research. According to Shellenbarger (2016), synthesizing evidence for
critical appraisal requires distillation from multiple studies. Therefore, as more studies
take a closer look at the role of PMNHPs and their patient outcomes, evidence will build
and inform professional practice.

Step 2: Summary of Analysis
Craft a summary (2-3 paragraph) below that includes the following:
• Describe your approach to identifying and analyzing peer-reviewed research
• Identify at least two strategies that you would use that you found to be effective in
finding peer-reviewed research
• Identify at least one resource you intend to use in the future to find peer-reviewed
research

The first step to identifying a peer-reviewed article was limiting my search to libraries
and databases that hold peer-reviewed studies. The Walden University Library (n.d.)
notes that restricting your selection in a library dat...
