GENERAL INFORMATION Evidence level I II III (bold when complete level assessment) Quality Rating A B C (bold when complete quality appraisal) Article Citation (APA format) Study Setting (city/state/country, hospital/units/clinic, etc.) Study Sample (demographics & size) Team EBP Question Bold answer Yes No Is this article/report Quantitative Research (collection, analysis, and reporting of numerical data)? Measurable data (how many; how much; or how often) used to formulate facts, uncover patterns, and generalize results from a larger sample population; provides observed effects of a program, problem, or condition, measured precisely, rather than through researcher interpretation of data. Common methods of data collection are surveys, face-to-face structured interviews, observations, and reviews of records or documents. Statistical tests are used in data analysis. This is NOT just a literature review, NOT a systematic review, and NOT a qualitative research article. Quantitative Research INSTRUCTIONS: FOR EVERY QUESTION ANSWER YES OR NO AND IN THE BOX WITH THE QUESTION WRITE A RESPONSE IF YES ANSWER IN THIS SECTION. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE. PARAPHRASE ANSWERS. YOU WILL USE THIS INFORMATION TO WRITE YOUR PAPER. Part 2. LEVEL Determine the LEVEL of this Research (Study Design) Bold answers 1. Was there manipulation of an independent variable (Intervention)? If so, what was the independent variable: Yes No 2. Was there a control group (a structured comparison group)? Describe: Yes No 3. Were participants randomly assigned to intervention or control groups?

LEVEL I If Yes to questions 1 & 2 and No to question 3 or Yes to question 1 and No to questions 2 & 3, this is quasi-experimental (manipulation of an independent variable, lacks random assignment to groups, and may lack a control group). LEVEL II If No to questions 1, 2, & 3, this is nonexperimental (No manipulation of independent variable (no experiment); can be observational or descriptive; may use secondary data).

Explain: Yes No N/A Are data collection methods (how they gathered the data) described clearly? Describe with detail how data collected: Yes No IF instruments/tools/surveys/questionnaires were used to collect data, were they stated as reliable (Cronbach’s [alpha] > 0.70)? (This is about the data collection NOT results) Explain: Yes No N/A IF instruments/tools/surveys/questionnaires were used to gather data, was validity discussed? (This is about the data collection NOT results) Explain: Yes No N/A IF surveys or questionnaires were sent out , how many were sent out and how many were returned? Was the response rate > 25%?

(Hint the more “YES” answers, the higher the quality). A- High quality: Consistent, generalizable results; sufficient sample size for the study design; adequate control; definitive conclusions; consistent recommendations based on comprehensive literature review that includes thorough reference to scientific evidence. (All “yes” or almost all “yes”) B- Good quality : Reasonably consistent results; sufficient sample size for the study design; some control, and fairly definitive conclusions; reasonably consistent recommendations based on fairly comprehensive literature review that includes some reference to scientific evidence. (Majority “yes”) C- Low quality or major flaws : Little evidence with inconsistent results; insufficient sample size for the study design; conclusions cannot be drawn. (Many “no” answers) Part 5.
