When critiquing a research article, it is crucial that the person or people reviewing the article utilize a framework to critically appraise the research. For this critique, Russell & Gregory’s Evidence-Based Nursing framework will be applied when examining the research presented in each article (2008). By following this framework, the following aspects will be addressed: the clarity and representation of the research question, the data collection process, and the appropriateness of the research design, sampling method, and data analysis (Russell & Gregory, 2008). Additionally, this critique will address the implications that each of the studies has for one’s personal nursing practice as well as nursing as a whole.
