For example, you may choose two unfiltered research articles from Module 2 and two filtered research articles (systematic reviews) from Module 3 or one article from Module 2 and three articles from Module 3. You can choose any combination of articles from the prior Module Assignments as long as both modules and types of studies are represented. Part 3B: Critical Appraisal of Research Based on your appraisal, in a 1-2-page critical appraisal, suggest a best practice that emerges from the research you reviewed. Briefly explain the best practice, justifying your proposal with APA citations of the research.

| Conceptual Framework
Describe the theoretical basis for the study (If there is not one mentioned in the article, say that here).**
|
This is implied and not explicit. It is that preventing pressure ulcers would be cheaper than treating established pressure ulcers.
|
No explicit conceptual framework. It is implied, that there are practical ways of preventing pressure ulcers. | No explicit conceptual framework. This is implicit and is that there could be benefits derived from the use of natural alternative therapies in preventing PUs. | No explicit conceptual framework.
It is implied, that there are practical ways of preventing pressure ulcers. |
| Design/Method
Describe the design and how the study was carried out (In detail, including inclusion/exclusion criteria). |
A systematic review. For inclusion articles must have been published in the period up to 2013 and report pressure ulcer prevention and treatment costs. | A systematic review. Inclusion criteria included: published from 2009 to 2018; articles in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish; and studies on incidence of PUs. | A randomized controlled triple-blind study. Had a study group and a control group.
Inclusion criterion: risk of pressure ulcer (PU). |
A systematic review.
Inclusion criteria: all participants to be ≥ 18 years, studies to be RCTs, comparative studies, and quasi-experimental studies. |
| Sample/Setting
The number and characteristics of patients, attrition rate, etc. |
The sample was n = 17 articles that met inclusion criteria out of 2,542 retrieved.
|
The sample was n = 26 articles. A total of 258 articles were retrieved. | Sam
