You should have a reference page of at least eight (8)academic sources, including at least five (5) primary research sources that specifically answer the review question.

After your paper has been corrected and graded, you have the option to revise your literature review paper in order to improve your writing and correct your mistakes. If there is a significant improvement, the grade will be increased. Revisions are due a week after receiving feedback. Instructions: Your paper needs to follow the following criteria: 1 Choose a problem faced by clients in your practice area that you think is important and would like to learn more about (Use Activity 1 to identify the problem). 2 Use your knowledge of PICO to develop a well-built narrow clinical question. For example: In adult patients with total hip replacements (P), how effective is pain medication (I) compared to aerobic stretching (C) in controlling post-operative pain (O)? (the development of the PICO question should not be included in the paper) (Use discussion 2 & 3). 3 Write a five (5) to six (6) page literature review paper on the standing knowledge of the chosen question. 4 Include a minimum of five (5) journal articles, at least three (3) from nursing journals. However, make sure that the (5) journals are the ones analyzed and synthesized in the results and discussion sections. 5 The body of the paper should be made of the following titled sections: Title (introduction), Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion. 6 Provide a specific and concise tentative title for your literature review paper (You may use the results or at least the variables in the title). 7 The abstract is not required 8 Include a 1-page introduction of your topic (background information), the focus/aim of your review.

For each study, you should briefly explain its purpose, procedure for data collection, and major findings. This is the section where you will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of studies (Use discussion 6 and activity 2). 11 Submit a table of the studies as per the matrix development (see discussion 7). 12 The discussion should be like a conclusion portion of an essay paper. It serves as a summary of the body of your literature review and should highlight the most important findings. Your analysis should help you to draw conclusions. In this section, you would discuss any consensus or disagreement on the topic. It can also include any strengths and weaknesses in general of the research area. If you believe there is more to research, you may include that here. 13 Finally, you will need to conclude your paper. At this point, you have put substantial effort into your paper. Close this chapter with a summary of the paper, major findings, and any major recommendations for the profession. 14 In general, your paper should show a sense of direction and contain a definite central idea supported with evidence. The writing should be logical, and the ideas should be linked together in a logical sequence. The ideas need to be put together clearly for the writer and for the reader. 15 Papers will be graded by rubric. When preparing to work on an assignment it is a good idea to review the rubric for the assignment. The rubric identifies the important points that will be graded as well as the description of the information that should be provided to receive all of the points in each section of the assignment. Reviewing the rubric before you begin a paper and then once again as you complete the paper will give you confidence that you included the required information and will receive maximum points for each section. See the grading rubric for this assignment. 16 Format references and citations using APA guidelines.

  • Social Work Question

    Initial Post (due by 11:59pm EST on Saturday):

    Working individually, respond to the prompts below using the additional context provided below about the Riverton East vignette and the CBPR framework discussed in class.

    Brief Riverton East Vignette Addition (for this practice activity):

    As part of the Riverton East revitalization efforts, a local nonprofit coalition has received preliminary funding to evaluate community concerns related to housing stability, access to food, and neighborhood safety. Previous evaluations conducted by outside consultants resulted in low participation and community mistrust. Several long-term residents have expressed frustration that research keeps happening to us, not with us. The coalition is now considering a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach to guide the next phase of evaluation and action.

    Step 1: Identifying the CBPR Team

    Based on the Riverton East context, identify at least four stakeholder groups that should be included in a CBPR team.

    For each group, briefly explain:

    • Why their involvement matters
    • What perspective or expertise they bring

    Consider the following when completing this step: Which community members are most directly affected by the issues being explored, and who else needs to be at the table to support meaningful change?

    Step 2: Applying the CBPR Process

    Select three steps from the CBPR process and describe what each step might look like specifically in Riverton East.

    Choose from:

    • Recruiting and training community researchers
    • Determining evaluation questions
    • Planning and structuring the research
    • Carrying out the research
    • Presenting findings and recommendations
    • Facilitating action
    • Evaluating the process
    • Reflection and learning
    • Maintaining gains

    Consider the following when completing this step: How would these steps help address past mistrust and support community buy-in?

    Step 3: CBPR or Not?

    Answer briefly:

    • Why is CBPR an appropriate (or necessary) approach for Riverton East at this stage?
    • What risks or challenges might arise if CBPR is not implemented thoughfully?

    Peer Response Post (due by Monday at 11:59pm EST):

    Review one peers CBPR plan for Riverton East. Respond to two of the three prompts below:

    1. CBPR Alignment Check
    • Identify one place where your peers proposal strongly reflects CBPR principles (e.g., shared decision-making, community ownership, empowerment).
    • Explain why this element strengthens community trust or long-term change.
    1. Power & Participation Analysis
    • Where do you see power being shared with community members?
    • Where might power still unintentionally remain with professionals or institutions?
    1. Feasibility & Ethics Reflection
    • Identify one potential challenge (e.g., time, training, representation, sustainability).
    • Offer one suggestion to strengthen the CBPR approach while staying aligned with ethical practice.

    Requirements: Follow Instructions

  • Topic 8 DQ 1

    According to Skakni (2017), not all doctoral learners who receive high marks in their coursework successfully complete their doctoral programs. As such, an A grade in RES-815 does not necessarily lead to an approved dissertation signed by the Dean of the College of Doctoral Studies. It will require a combination of skill sets beyond academic success that will contribute to growing as a learner and a scholar. It will require learners to work not only independently but also collaboratively, partnering with residency faculty and the dissertation committee. How can the adjustment to and mindset of the independent researcher contribute to working productively as a professional with your committee?
