Assignment Overview  

An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and websites.  The annotation is a brief paragraph which describes and critically evaluates the source.  Typically, the purpose of the annotation is to describe the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the source cited.  An annotation is a brief paragraph (usually about 150 words) that may include the following information:  Summary of the source, assessment of the source, and/or reflection of the source.  

For the purposes of this course, the annotation will include a brief paragraph (150 words or less) summarizing the research article with a separate paragraph (at least 4-5 sentences) at the end that includes a reflection of how the research is applicable to community health nursing. Instructions for the assignment are included below: 

1. Go to Healthy People 2030.  Read the home page and then browse objectives by topic.  From the topics, identify a health condition or health behavior that affects a population and is of interest to you. 

2. Visit the library website  https://www.uttyler.edu/library/   

3. Search for 1 research article with a nurse author published within the last 7 years related to your Healthy People 2030 topic and objective. (tip:  if you search in CINAHL, you can select “research article” in your search to help ensure that only research articles show in your search results.  Research will have a sample, methods, results, etc. You can also select “Any Author is Nurse” to help ensure that the articles returned are those with a nurse author.   

4. Summarize the research article in your own words in 150 words or less.

5. Write a separate paragraph (at least 4-5 sentences) reflecting on how the research article is applicable to community health nursing. In your reflection, include the specific objective from Healthy People 2030 that relates to the article.
