This assignment is intended to give you an opportunity to search for relevant
research study and outline pertinent information. Please take this time to
read through before we have our mandatory zoom instruction meeting. Take
notes as you look over as to which questions you may need clarity for
discussion.
• You will find an appropriate research material from the
NVC database in regard to sudden illnesses. Sudden Illnesses can be
described as a heart attack, a stroke, seizures, or a diabetic
situation just to name a few. You are to choose a topic of your choice
and extensively find supportive information that supports your topic. It
is my hope as you read Chapters 10- 12, you will gain some
understanding in terms of which direction you want to take for this
assignment.
• A 4- page minimum is required for completion.
• Literature review should be in APA Format. Please
research APA format extensively before you submit.
• Be sure to use information from the course, and this
research to describe the topic of your choice and their effects on
health and wellness.
• The “12 steps” listed below will help you stay on course
as you prepare and write your review.
12 STEPS TO FOLLOW FOR REVIEW
• CITATION. What is the name of the study, who is the
author(s), and where and when was it published? Report the complete
reference citation using APA format.
• PURPOSE & GENERAL RATIONALE. What was the
purpose of the study, and how did the author(s) make a case for its
general importance? Is the study quantitative or qualitative in nature?
• FIT & SPECIFIC RATIONALE. How does the topic of the
study fit into the existing research literature, and how is the
information used to make a specific case for the investigation?
• PARTICIPANTS. Who was studied (give number and
characteristics) and how were they selected to participate in the
study?

• PARTICIPANTS. Who was studied (give number and
characteristics) and how were they selected to participate in the
study?
• CONTEXT. Where did the study take place? Describe
important characteristics of the environment and setting (e.g. group
demographics).
• STEPS IN SEQUENCE. In the order performed, what were
the major procedural steps in the study? Describe or diagram in a
flowchart. Show a sequential order and any important relationships
among the steps.
• DATA. What data sources were used (e.g., test scores,
questionnaire responses, or frequency counts for a quantitative study
or field notes, interview transcripts, photographs, or diaries for a
quantitative study), how were the data collected, and what was the
role of the author(s) throughout the process?
• ANALYSIS. What form(s) of data analysis was used, and
what specific questions was it designed to answer? What statistical
operations and computer programs, if any, were employed?
• RESULTS. What did the author(s) identify as the primary
results (products or findings produced by the analysis of data)? In
general, “what was going on there”?
• CONCLUSIONS. What did the author(s) assert about how
the results in Step 9 responded to the purpose(s) established in Step 2,
and how did the events and experiences of the entire study contribute
to that conclusion?
• CAUTIONS. What cautions does the author(s) raise about
the study itself or about interpreting the results? Add here any of your
own reservations, particularly those related to methods used to
enhance validity and credibility (quantitative) or trustworthiness and
believability (qualitative).
• DISCUSSION & APPLICATION. What interesting facts or
ideas did you learn from reading the report? Include here anything that
was of value in regards to results, research designs and methods,
references, data-collection instruments, history, useful arguments, or
personal inspiration. You must be able to analyze, interpret, synthesize
and evaluate the topic you are presenting in depth, and also identify
how social responsibility can help to positively impact this topic.
