Worksheet – Appraising Quantitative Evidence-examining research to judge its trustworthiness and its value/relevance in a particular context.

Critical appraisal is the process of carefully and systematically examining research to judge its trustworthiness and its value/relevance in a particular context. The purpose of appraising a quantitative research study is to assess whether the study’s research questions (hypotheses), methods, and results are sufficiently valid to produce useful information for clinical practice.

The purpose of this quantitative research article appraisal assignment is to develop critical appraisal skills by analyzing and evaluating a selected quantitative research article within the field of nursing. Through this process, students will gain a deeper understanding of research methodologies, statistical analyses, and the relevance of evidence-based practice in nursing care. The appraisal will focus on identifying the study’s research question, methodology, sampling techniques, data collection methods, statistical analyses, findings, and implications for nursing practice, thus empowering students to engage critically with research literature and enhance their ability to apply research findings to clinical decision-making and patient care.
