Needing Help For Nurse Research Class

Nursing Students Student Assist

Published

I Am Currently Enrolled In A Bsn Completion Program And Right Now We Are Studying Nursing Research.. We Read A Literature Review Entitled "basic Need Status And Health Promoting Self Care Behavior In Adults" By Gayle Acton. One Of The Assignments Is To Critique This Article And I Need Help On Finding The Gaps And Inconsistencies In This Article. I Was Wondering If Anyone Has Taken A Research Course, And How You Identify The Gaps In This Particular Article. Thanks Rachel

I don't think anyone is going to do your homework on this particular article, however there are several posts on here about how to critique an article. Try checking the "Search" function. Also, here is a great guide to doing it: N400: Guidelines for Critiquing Research Articles

PS: Just a question, why do you capitalise every word?

Thank you for your help. I am not looking for anyone to do my schoolwork for me, I was just looking for some direction. I also did not realize that there was a certain way to present a question on here.

Thanks again for the website, I am sure it will be of great help.
