NUR400 CONSORT ASSIGNMENT DETAILS

Directions for your CONSORT assignment (follow along with the CONSORT rubric as you read the following steps):

Step 1. Once you have your article, read it, and then look at the CONSORT Checklist, and write the page number in the article that has the information the checklist requires. (FYI, researchers who publish their research use this checklist to be sure they have everything in their article, or it is often not accepted by premier scholarly publishers). The checklist is worth 25 points, as it takes time and discernment to do it correctly.

Step 2: Once your fill out the CONSORT CHECKLIST (25 points), you must then write a formal summary of the Analysis of Strengths and Weaknesses (worth 8 points ) that you will notice is on the CONSORT checklist. The following steps are to assist you in distilling the specifics for what is required in the Analysis of Strengths and Weaknesses for the CONSORT checklist. .

Step 3 Specifics of the ANALYSIS OF STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES. Review ~p. 9 of your research textbook, and then note how to write

            a.  Introduction  (1 point)

                   + Purpose of the RCT (discuss)

             b.  Overall Strengths and Weaknesses  (1 point) 

                  +  Research Design (Discuss)

+ Important Findings

             c.  Reliability and Validity  (2 points) (Check the

methods, instruments, measurements or

procedures sections of article); statistics; Level of Evidence and

implications; cause-effect measurement; any threats to internal

or external validity

             d.  Ethics (1 point)

                  +  IRB? +Conflict of Interest +Informed Consent Signed

             e.  Topic/Summary  (2 points)

                 + Implications

                + Limitations

+ Recommendation(s)

             

Step 5 Proofread, check for accuracy of information, grammar, and proper use of APA guidelines (worth 1 point)

Step 6: Now look at the exemplar for the CHECKLIST and Analysis of Strengths of Weaknesses.

Step 7: Calculate your grade: 25 possible points for CONSORT CHECKLIST being accurate and 8 points for Analysis of Strengths and

Weaknesses = 33 possible points

Analysis of Strengths and Weaknesses

Introduction

The following analysis relates to the article by Ridker, Cook, Lee, Gordon, Gaziano, Manson, Hennekens, Buring (2005). The purpose of this Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) was to determine if low-dose aspirin should be recommended as a strategy for prevention of cardiovascular disease for women age 45 or greater.

Overall Strengths and Weaknesses

There was a decrease in Cardiovascular events for women who received the aspirin as compared to women who received the placebo. In addition, the ischemic stroke risk decreased by 30%. The method of randomization was unclear, as well as the method for blinding (Author, 2016).

Reliability and Validity

The statistics used compared aspirin and placebo groups using the Relative Risk, P values, cumulative incidence rates, and 95% confidence intervals. There was no explanation of how the authors selected these methods in terms of time, e.g. pre-specified or commencement after the initiation of the trial (Author, 2018). This is a Level II trial, which is at a higher level of evidence if the researchers follow the protocols for a Level II trial, and overall these researchers did. The RCT had randomization, intervention and control groups, as well as manipulation of the independent variable, which provides strength in studying the cause-effect relationship. Following these Level II design requirements reduces the threats to internal and external validity LoBiondo-Wood & Haber, 2018).

Ethics

The Institutional Review Board did monitor the study, and informed consent was signed by those participating as subjects in this study .

Topic, Summary

This is an important topic and the need to determine whether low-dose aspirin should be utilized needs to be analyzed. Since this study was completed in 2005, much new information is available that renders the findings of this study lacking for generalization of the clinical applications to women in this age group.
