Please help me with my research project

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I am studying research and have been asked to critically evaluate two articles. I have chosen to look into non-compliance in diabetics in the community. I have chosen

Rapley,P. (1997) Self-care: re-thinking the role of compliance. Australian Journal of Advanced Nursing. 15(1) Spring 20-25

Maclean, D. & Lo, R. (1998). The Non-Insulin Diabetic: Success and Failure in Compliance. Australian Journal of Advanced Nursing. 15(4) Winter 33-42.

Has anyone done a review on either article or got any advice on critical evaluations?

Many thanks

Linda I have alkready access to research books and prefer 'The Research Process in Nursing' by Desmond Cormack. I have looked at a number and I find research a philosophical topic. I would have preferred more examples of articles and their critical evaluations. Alas I am in the deep end but have another month to do it in.

Larry,

If you have a month to complete the project, you're not in the deep end yet.

Analyzing research studies is a complex indepth systematic process. I don't think I could provide you with all the information in a bb post. That is why I gave you a reference. It is possible that I am misunderstanding your question. Sorry I can't help you more. I'm sure you will be able to figure it out or maybe someone else will contribute and help to answer your question.

Sincerely,

Linda
