NURS 6003 Module 3 | Part 3: Research Analysis

I have identified one topic of interest for further study. I have researched and identified one peer-reviewed research article focused on this topic and have analyzed this article. The results of these efforts are shared below.

Directions: Complete Step 1 by using the table and subsequent space below identify and analyze the research article you have selected. Complete Step 2 by summarizing in 2-3 paragraphs the results of your analysis using the space identified.

Step 1: Research Analysis

Complete the table below

Topic of Interest:
Research Article: Include full citation in APA format, as well as link or search details (such as DOI)	Gibson, C., Goeman, D., & Pond, D. (2020). What is the role of the practice nurse in the care of people living with dementia, or cognitive impairment, and their support person(s)?: a systematic review. BMC Family Practice, 21(1). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12875-020-01177-y
Professional Practice Use: One or more professional practice uses of the theories/concepts presented in the article	This article provides key information to assist the nursing staff in providing great care to dementia patients. The potential value of expanding the Nurse position to include dementia recognition and management has been recognized. Nurses are well-positioned to give comprehensive dementia information and support, empowering people living with dementia to self-manage their health and live well with dementia.
Research Analysis Matrix Add more rows if necessary	Strengths of the Research	Limitations of the Research	Relevancy to Topic of Interest	Notes
	Large number of articles were reviewed to collect the data.	The article focuses on practice nurses.	The article demonstrates the necessity of helping dementia patients live a quality life.	As nursing practitioners, we can alleviate suffering and help dementia patients live better lives.
	Electronic databases and Google Scholar were searched for review articles.	There were no specifications on the types of dementia and their specific management.	The issue of dementia and cognitive impairment is a growing concern with an aging population.	Nurses as primary providers need knowledge on how to take care of patients experiencing cognitive impairment with growth in the population of old people.
	Articles spanning 19 years have been used to improve the reliability of the information.	Most of the articles analyzed do not give the causal relationship between aging and the development of dementia.	The article illustrates the importance of treating the elderly as a vulnerable population.	Elaborating the role nurses can play in picking and management of cognitive impairment has the ability to improve the quality of care for elderly patients.
	The article applies evidence-based intervention, which improves its validity.	The authors assert the need for further research to understand dementia on a grand scale.	The article is relevant to the topic of interest since it also shows the limitations of the research.
