Scenario
As a recent BSN graduate, you sign-up to join a journal club on your clinical unit. The journal club serves as a collective effort to remain current with the literature. The purpose of the journal club is to provide a strategy for evaluating current research and translating it to nursing practice. The facilitator of the journal club has asked you to select, critically appraise, and present your findings at the next meeting. Since this is your first time presenting, the facilitator provides a
worksheet to guide you through the process.

If so, what was it? · What outcome was measured? · How was it measured? · Who was in the study? · Where was the study completed? · What were the results? · This section should be no more than 1-2 paragraphs. |
|
Did the article include a relevant review of the literature? Explain. · This content is located primarily in the literature review, but discussion of prior evidence may be found in other sections of the nursing research article. · This section should be no more than 3-4 sentences. |
|
Describe the theoretical framework for the research study · Consider nursing theories · If not clearly stated in the research article, which theoretical framework could you apply to the study and why? · This section should be no more than 4-5 sentences. |

What research objectives, questions, hypotheses, and procedures were identified in the article? · Provide a summary of the research objectives, questions, hypothesis, and procedure. |
|
Describe the study’s results (findings) and identify strengths and limitations. · For strengths and limitations, sometimes an author does not identify them, and it is up to you to figure them out. Consider these questions: was there a big sample size, what would increase the reliability of the study, was there pre- post-test data, does the type of data collection and analysis increase the reliability of the study, and were there valid measurements taken? |
