Read the article and in one paragraph (7 to 8 sentences) provide a rapid critical appraisal by answering the following questions. Support your response by citing and referencing the research article.
- What was the research design?
- Was the sampling method and size appropriate for the research question? Explain.
- What were the dependent and independent (outcome) variables?
- Were valid and reliable instruments/surveys used to measure outcomes? Explain.
- What were the main results of the study?
- Was there statistical significance? Explain.
- How would you use the study results in your practice to make a difference in patient outcomes?

Sample Answer
The article employs a quantitative cross-sectional research design to examine the subject matter. In this study, the population was 1000, and the computed sample size was 278 according to the 95% confidence interval and 5% marginal error, which is appropriate as it is only 27.8% of the population and does not exceed the study population (Al-Lenjawi et al., 2022).
The study utilized both dependent and independent variables entailing demographic variables (independent variable), including gender, marital status, years of experience, position in HMC, and highest level of nursing education, and an independent variable, which is evidence-based practice implementation.
The study instrument was a 5-point “Barriers to Research Utilization Scale (BTRUS) scale” formulated by S. Funk et al. (2016) and the modified barriers to evidence-based practice questionnaire which is confirmed for validity and reliability through a pilot study (Al-Lenjawi et al., 2022).
The outcome of the study indicated that the barriers to the implementation of EBP include lack of time, lack of access, lack of empowerment, and lack of support. In this study, some of the results indicate statistical significance, such as between educational level (P=0.018) and gender (P=0.05) and hindrances to the adoption of EBP (Al-Lenjawi et al., 2022).
The study results have significant implications for the nursing practice. It helps to understand that some factors, such as organizational support, EBP expertise, and enhanced self-belief, can be leveraged by healthcare organizations to enhance the adoption of research evidence in clinical practice.
