Assignment
Description and critique:
From the articles you identify, which offer the best available evidence relevant to your practice question
and actually acquire them. MY Question — What is the most effective intervention for “caretaker
stress’ on a family member? State the rationale that informed your choice of the studies discussed in
these particular articles.

Articles are listed below in hyperlink.
https://academic.oup.com/gerontologist/article-abstract/37/3/342/739749
https://academic.oup.com/psychsocgerontology/article-abstract/63/6/P372/519612
https://academic.oup.com/gerontologist/article-abstract/39/5/534/584513

For each of the three articles, address the following four points:
Give the APA citation correctly.
Identify the purpose of the study and briefly (4-5 sentences) summarize in your own words the method,
including design (e.g. case study, randomized clinical trial, systematic review, etc.), sampling strategy
and sample type and size, measurement (including the type of instrument, type and number of items,
validity and reliability) and data analysis (i.e. which strategies, such as statistical test or content analysis
were used to draw conclusions from the data regarding the research question/s). Report relevant
empirical finding/s as it relates to your practice question.
(Do NOT include all the findings; only those
relevant to your question).

CRITICALLY appraise this evidence, using criteria you have learned in this course. Evaluate the rigor of
the evidence based on aspects such as validity and reliability of measurements, appropriateness of
design for the question, sample and data collection strategies. Identify at least one strength and one
weakness, using the criteria provided in the textbooks (and discussed in class. Justify your evaluation,
i.e. explain WHY you see these as weakness/strength.
Discuss the applicability of the evidence that you were able
to find to the practice situation that you
described. How well might it be transferred to your individual
client or client system?
Please pay attention to the following points:-
The main goal is to demonstrate your critical view of the studies’ methodologies. While an accurate and
specific description is important, it needs to be concise while the critique should be elaborate.
Critique the study rather than the article
Focus on addressing the specific questions identified in the assignment.
3) Summary
Which of the studies offers the strongest scientific evidence relevant to your practice situation
(NOT
which article is the clearest or most applicable to your client; rather, which study is the strongest
from
methodological viewpoint)? Articulate clearly the rationale for your choice and support by evidence.
