Assigned Week 5 Project
Instructions
Nurses are typically less familiar with qualitative studies than quantitative. When doing a thorough literature review to find external evidence, it is important that you consider all points of view. This assignment will provide you with an opportunity to read and appraise a qualitative study and objectively determine its worth to inform your PICOT question. ( My week two PICOT question: In adults with obesity (P), how does participation in a structured weight management program (I), compared to self-directed weight loss efforts (C), affect long-term weight maintenance (O) over a 12-month period (T)?
Tasks:
In Submissions Area, you appraised quantitative evidence from a reference list that was provided. You then set up an Evaluation Table for your individual PICOT question. In this week, you will add to that table by adding the critical appraisal of a qualitative study. Use the reference list provided in Submissions Area and critically appraise the qualitative study.
Compile the following:
A copy of the RCA form for the qualitative study from the Reference List using the appropriate RCA checklists. (Attached)
