Details:
Present a video of a critique a journal article for 15 minutes. The topic may be on any aspect of nursing care or healthcare informatics This critique needs to provide a good description of the paper, which means describing the sample, methodology and setting. You also need to describe the context of the literature – this may involve talking about other studies that have informed this paper and led to this research, but be mindful that the purpose of this critique is not to be a literature review.
Provide a summary of the research. Does it answer the question it asks? Consider this in the context of the problem identified in the paper and the broader literature concerning this problem. You should also attempt to draw your own conclusions about the results, such as further research or how the results could inform your practice. Consider the following as a possible “template” for your presentation:

Introduce the paper
What is the topic?
What is the research question it asks?
Why is the research important for nurses?
Talk about the setting
Where was the study conducted?
Is the setting appropriate to the question?
Is the setting generalisable to the wider population?
Talk about the sample
Is the sample appropriate to the question?
Is the sample large enough to justify the conclusions?o Was the sampling methodology appropriate?
Talk about the methodology
Was the methodology appropriate to the research question?
Was the methodology clearly defined?
Are there any issues with the way the research was conducted?
Could other methodologies have been considered?
Provide the results
How does this paper inform future research/practice?
What are the conclusions you draw from this paper?
Will it change your practice?
Your presentation will be timed and marks are allocated for keeping to this time. It may pay to follow a set structure, for example identifying your issue , summarising the key points of the literature and recommendations to improve practice/further research. Remember, this subject is about using the research to support your argument and critical thinking.
