Assignment
In this assignment, you will develop your literature review. Your literature review should be 6-8 pages in length. The review should include a minimum of 8 peer-reviewed scholarly articles published within the past ten years that focus on your problem or topic of choice. (My topic of choice is major sources of stress among nursing students and how these stressors evolve over the period of nursing training). (Your final project requires a minimum of 10 sources.) Using the Literature Review Scoring Guide as a reference and the APA Proposal Template, write a paper in which you will discuss five specific points:
1. Describe the line of research of which the research project is meant to contribute.
2. Analyze critically the studies that support the research project's research problem, research question, and the significance of the study.
3. Identify, describe, and evaluate the studies that present a theoretical framework for the study.
4. Identify, describe, and assess the instruments, measures, and methods of data collection and analysis supporting the research proposal's methodology and approach.
5. Provide a rationale for the proposed research by identifying missing elements, unanswered questions, and gaps in the existing knowledge base.
DISCUSSION 1. For this discussion, use the Article Analysis Worksheet to briefly summarize the two articles (1-2 paragraphs) you found in the Capella library.
Then, with your focus on the quantitative correlational article, discuss the following aspects of that study:
• What are the variables in the study? What are the factors being correlated?
• Was the correlation positive or negative?
• What is the interpretation or meaning of the results of the correlation?
Note: Use the Article Analysis Worksheet to prepare your discussion post but do not post the worksheet to your discussion thread. Instead, use the information you gain in the analysis to craft a narrative of the findings to post to the discussion.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the professor's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also Include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
