Homework: Nursing Research- Qualitative Annotated Bibliography
For this homework you will continue to review current research from South's Online Library and provide a critical evaluation on that research through an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a brief summary and analysis of the journal article reviewed. For more information on annotated bibliographies please visit Purdue's OWL: Purdue Online Writing Lab
A total of two annotated bibliographies are to be submitted (not to exceed one page each). The articles must come from nursing scholarly literature and may not be older than 5 years since publication. Please note that the articles must be research based and reflect a qualitative methodology (review our reading homeworks). Web pages, magazines, textbooks, and other books are not acceptable.
Each annotation must address the following critical elements:
i. Explanation of the main purpose and scope of the cited work
ii. Brief description of the research conducted
iii. Value and significance of the work (e.g., study's findings, scope of the research project) as a contribution to the subject under consideration
iv. Possible shortcomings or bias in the work
v. Conclusions or observations reached by the author
vi. Summary as to why this research lends evidence to support the potential problem identified specific to your role specialization.
