The purpose of this assignment is to (1) become familiar with nursing research and the evidence-
based practice in gerontological nursing; and (2) integrate findings into your current and future
practice with older adults.
The article report is based on reading from an Evidence-Based research article, published in a
peer-reviewed scholarly journal related to a course topic. Articles from the last 3 years only are
acceptable.
*PLEASE NOTE: Make sure it is a research article, NOT a literature review, integrative review,
meta analysis, editorial or general article that summarizes research findings.
Some suggested journals include: The Gerontologist, The Journal of Gerontology, Geriatric
Nursing, Journal of Gerontological Nursing, International Journal of Older People Nursing,
Journal of Advanced Nursing, Journal of Nursing Scholarship, Nursing Research. You may use
any journal but be sure that is a scholarly article authored by a nurse as sole author or part of
the research team, and has nursing implications.
Synthesize the research and results (2 paragraphs maximum) with a focus on summarizing the
purpose, method and results. The focus of this paper is NOT on critiquing the methodology or
data analysis (as it would be in a research course), but rather on the utility of the research for
nursing practice with older adults as well as implications for your current and/or future practice
with older adults. The following headers MUST be used to organize the paper: Summary of the
Research Study; Relevance to Nursing Practice; Lesson Learned; Implications for Nursing
Practice. The research report should be double-spaced and 3 pages long excluding the title page
and reference page. APA format is required
