20 Sep The critique is an analysis of the qualitative research article.

This assignment provides an opportunity for students to write a formal paper reflecting review and critique of a qualitative research article. The critique is an analysis of the qualitative research article. A Qualitative Research Critique Paper Question Guide lists the questions to answer for the assignment. A link for the Qualitative Research Critique Paper Question Guide is listed below. The questions listed on the Qualitative Research Critique Paper Question Guide are based on required readings for module five and six, particularly chapter 5 of Polit and Beck (2017) in regard to completing an overall critique of a qualitative research report. Please thoroughly and accurately answer all questions on the Qualitative Research Critique Paper Question Guide to fully meet grading criteria on the Qualitative Research Critique Grading Rubric. The Qualitative Research Critique Grading Rubric is provided below.

Students need to address each research component thoroughly from the content of the article, providing rationale for each of the statements. If a research component is not addressed in the article, students must explain whether or not this is justified.

The Qualitative Research Critique paper is a formal paper and should include a title page, an introduction, body of the paper, personal reflection, conclusion, and a reference page (listed on a separate page following the conclusion of the paper).  An abstract is not necessary. The paper should be no more than 8 or 9 pages, excluding title and reference page. The paper is to be written using APA format per APA (2020) manual. Citations and references must be included to support information shared in the paper. Citations and references need to reflect required readings as well as current (within the last three to five years) professional sources.

Please choose one of the following three articles on which to write your critique. Choose just one and include the entire citation in your critique.
