Assignment Guidelines
Determine a specific population (I choose youth 10-17 years old boys and girls in Nunavut Quebec)
that you would like to have more information about,
• Find an applicable research article on your chosen topic. ( I chose the article: Volpe, T., Boydell, K. M., &
Pignatiello, A. (2014). Mental health services for Nunavut children and youth: evaluating a telepsychiatry pilot
project. Rural & Remote Health, 14(2), 1–14.
See the attached PDF file for the article.
• Summarize and critique your chosen research article.
• Consider how this research could be integrated into nursing practice.
• Your work will achieve the maximum value/grade if it is succinct and insightful and clearly shows how you
have applied the theory learned to a practical situation.
Your critique should include, but is not limited to the following:
• What type of study design is it? Provide rationale.
• Are the findings reported consistent with information/knowledge that you have? Do the reported relationships
make sense?
• If reported, how strong is the observed association?
• Would you incorporate the findings of this study into your community health nursing practice (i.e., the health
promotion program that you are planning) or recommend this study to others? Provide rationale.
• What further research question(s) would you develop in relation to this study and/or your observations?
Marking Criteria
• Each element of the assignment guidelines is addressed.
• Ability to analyze, evaluate, create, and engage in critical inquiry is evident throughout.

pages).
That assignment I wrote previously was returned to be redone with the teacher’s remarks see in red and in blue. I
have to rewrite again with the same research article, this time I have to follow the remarks given by the teacher.
Also, provide more research articles to support this assignment.
