Assignment Top of Form Bottom of Form Designs and Sampling Throughout this course you will apply the unit learning to the critique of two studies in a step-by-step manner. The studies are reported in these articles: Foster-Fitzpatrick, L., Ortiz, A., Sibilano, H., Marcantonio, R., & Braun, L. T. (1999). The effects of crossed leg on blood pressure measurement. (2), 105-108. Palese, A., Skrap, M., Fachin, M., Visioli, S., & Zannini, L. (2008). The experience of patients undergoing awake craniotomy. (2), 166–172. If you have not already done so, print these articles; you will be referring to them frequently, including in an upcoming assignment. For this week’s Project, you will submit a critique of the design and sampling methodologies used in these studies. Remember that one is a qualitative study, and the other is a quantitative study, so different criteria apply. In your textbook on pages 112–114 there is a guide to the critique of a quantitative study, and on pages 115–117 is a similar guide to the critique of a qualitative study. (Also note that in each chapter there are dialog boxes related to specific critique questions for that specific section of the study). Be sure to identify the design and sampling methodologies used. Also include how the ethical considerations and how the nurse researcher protected the participants in the study? See the dialog box 7.3 on page 170 for critiquing the ethical aspects of the study. In your conclusion, summarize your overall review of these sections of the study. How well did the researchers follow the research process guidelines? Did you find anything unusual? How does it impact the overall research study if any of the elements are missing?
