Article Critique/Nursing Older People
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page article critique drawn from Nursing Older People is a British-based nursing journal that specializes in providing informative, empirically-researched nursing articles that focus on the tasks involved in nursing the elderly. Smith (2006) conducted a research study that explored the informal practice theories that nurses employ when working with older patients, the sources of these theories and then compared them with related literature. This is a significant article because it moves beyond the scope of theory to show how nursing ideas are put into practice within a specific patient context. No additional sources cited.

Article Critique/One-to-One Midwifery
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page research paper that offers an article critique on a study of one-to-one midwifery, plus much more. This critique evaluates this research by directly addressing the study and its design structure, but it also offers further evaluation by comparing the results of McCourt, et al (1998) with other literature on this topic, particularly focusing on more recent literature. However, in order to appreciate the significance of the one-to-one midwifery model, which the McCourt, et al, study addresses, it is also necessary to see this standard of care in light of the historical background that initiated its formulation. This topic, also, is addressed. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

The various section of the research study are reviewed and the writer discusses the significance of the research findings. No additional sources cited.
