Understanding the work of others is critically important to new work. Contributions to the nursing body of knowledge can happen when you are able to analyze and articulate the efforts of previous research. Research analysis skills are therefore critical tools for your toolbox.Academic Success and Professional Development Plan .
In this Assignment, you will locate relevant existing research. You also will analyze this research using a tool helpful for analysis.
To Prepare:
· Reflect on the strategies presented in the Resources this Module’s Learning Resources in support of locating and analyzing research.
· Identify and read one peer-reviewed research article focused on a topic in your specialty field that interests you.
· Review the article you selected and reflect on the professional practice use of theories/concepts described by the article.Academic Success and Professional Development Plan .
The Assignment:
Using the “Module 4 | Part 4” section of your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Template presented in the Resources, conduct an analysis of the elements of the research article you identified. Be sure to include the following:
· Your topic of interest.
· A correctly formatted APA citation of the article you selected, along with link or search details.
· Identify a professional practice use of the theories/concepts presented in the article.
· Analysis of the article using the “Research Analysis Matrix” section of the template
· Write a 1-paragraph justification stating whether you would recommend this article to inform professional practice.
· Write a 3 to 4 -paragraph summary that you will add to your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan that includes the following:
o Describe your approach to identifying and analyzing peer-reviewed research.
o Identify at least two strategies that you would use that you found to be effective in finding peer-reviewed research.
o Identify at least three resource you intend to use in the future to find peer-reviewed research.Academic Success and Professional Development Plan .
Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Part 4: Research Analysis
Step 1: Research Analysis
| Topic of Interest: | APRN Prescriptive Authority | |||
| Research Article: Include full citation in APA format, as well as link or search details (such as DOI) | Mangano, E., Gonzalez, Y., & Kverno, K.S. (2020). Challenges faced by new psychiatric–mental health nurse practitioner prescribers. Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, 58(10), 7-11. https://doi.org/10.3928/02793695-20200915-01 | |||
| Professional Practice Use:
One or more professional practice uses of the theories/concepts presented in the article |
Two of the professional practice uses of the concepts in this article are:
i. To assist the psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) practicing in a full practice authority (FPA) state with full practice autonomy to develop psychopharmacologic competencies as they begin to practice independently. ii. To enable the PMHNP practicing autonomously in a FPA to identify their weaknesses in prescribing psychopharmacologic agents and taking up continuous professional development opportunities to improve. |

Strengths of the Research | Limitations of the Research | Relevancy to Topic of Interest | Notes |
| It was a qualitative study; which is very appropriate to assess the views of a segment of the population of interest. | The sample size for this qualitative study was quite small (n = 58). For qualitative studies to have internal validity and external generalizability (reliability), the sample size must be big. | The relevance to the topic of interest is that as a PMHNP with full practice authority in a FPA state, one has to make all the prescriptive decisions by oneself. This is because there is no collaborative agreement allowing a practicing physician to supervise the PMHNP (Phoenix & Chapman, 2020). | The article is very relevant to PMHNP practice and serves to enrich evidence-based practice. | |
| Several parameters were looked at instead of just focusing on one. They included views on adherence, decision making for treatment, and evaluation of treatment success. | The students were about to enter practice as PMHNPs and therefore could not have presented view that were representative of all practicing PMHNPs. | Only the PMHNP who has actively practiced can accurately state the exact prescription challenges facing them in autonomous practice. | Looking at different parameters related to the prescription challenges enables the viewing of a holistic picture of the problem. | |
