Annotated Bibliography
Using only 3 articles you find in CINAHL or PubMed, develop a two to three paragraph description of each article. Your description should include your summary of the research literature described in the study which led the authors to conduct the study.
1 -Indicate what the stated purpose is of the study; identify the key concepts investigated – including the outcome or dependent variable as well as the independent variables.
2 – State the study’s important findings, and share what you see as the implications for nursing research and practice based on the results of the study.
3 – Finally, state what you liked about the article, did you learn any new information from this study? Will the information be useful for you?
Do not copy the study abstract. Please correctly cite the 3 research articles using APA format.
