This paper is an academic critique of an article written by Lautrette, et al. (2007) titled: “A Communication Strategy and Brochure for Relatives of Patients Dying in the ICU” and accurately reflected the content of the article and the research study itself. The abstract explained the article in more detail, while remaining concise. The type of research study, sample size, variables, intervention, measurement method, findings, and conclusion were all mentioned in the abstract.

The data from this research study is clearly expressed, consistent and reflective of the data. There are primary sources cited in the article, and relevant landmark studies were described and used in this

One-fourth of American citizens have 2 or extra chronic disease, and this population accounts for greater than half of of overall healthcare costs (Giovannetti, Dy, Leff, Weston, Adams, Valuck, … Boyd, 2013). Having multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) can negatively affect quality of life, ability to work, disability, and mortality. No matter the high incidence of MCCs and corresponding terrible results, the care for individuals with MCCs is often fragmented, incomplete, inefficient, and useless, resulting in doubtlessly avoidable inpatient admissions, negative consequences of therapeutic interactions, and postoperative complications (Giovannetti, et al., 2013). A Strategic Framework for improving health outcomes and quality of life developed

The author’s development of explaining the theory and validity of the research had minimum thorough explanation. The results were provided through quantitative means instead of qualitative. This is not an issue; however, this could have been studied

The discussion briefly describes the results, but it failed to restate the purpose of the study. It discusses the results with many new citations that had not been provided in the introduction. It discussed future research implications but not in great detail. One of the greater strengths of the discussion was that it discussed multiple implications for professionals to consider. Additionally, the limitations and strengths of the study were discussed in detail.

In this chapter the results obtained from the analysis of data collected (previous chapter) are discussed in relation to the aims and objectives of the study. The study attempts to answer the following research questions:

The purpose of this paper will be to present the contrasts in the type of information that was gained while reviewing two studies. The studies reviewed were a qualitative study and a quantitative study. The general advantages and disadvantages of the two types of studies will also be presented. Qualitative and quantitative studies both have a place in research, even though the two study designs take a very different approach to research. Lastly, a response will be given in support of the qualitative research being beneficial to the world of science.

The quantitative research method is being used in this research study. Quantitative research methods are a number of statistical and mathematical tools that can be used to capture and analyze information on quantitative

Chapter two of the study contained the review of literature which offered concisely the foundation for conceptual, theoretical, and empirical framework. It also gave the precise description of the findings and conclusions of previous studies that were related to the problem

Secondly, the investigation was based on data from small sample. Eight participants are from the same university and all of them are postgraduate students. Therefore, the size and the variety of sample may limit the possibility of generalization.
