Dissertation Review

Overview

First, you will summarize the topic in your introductory paragraph that provides the background to the reviewed dissertation, the dissertation topic, and information on why reviewing quantitative dissertations would be helpful in the program. Then, you will review the selected dissertation and craft the Research Question (PhD students) or PICO(T) Clinical Question (DHSc students) being addressed by the dissertation. https://www.proquest.com/pqdtglobal/docview/308718...

Address the following 10 questions as you review the selected dissertation (HINT: these can be used as APA headings and subheadings to organize your content).

What was the PICO(T) or question under investigation?

What was the theoretical framework discussed in the dissertation?

What is the study design used in the dissertation?

How credible is the study design they used?

What was the population?

What were the methods used?

a. What data was collected?

b. How did they collect the data?

c. How did they analyze the data?

d. What tools did they use to analyze the data?

What were the results (briefly describe the study outcomes)?

What are the strengths of the dissertation (discuss the quality of the dissertation)?

What are the weaknesses of the dissertation (recommend areas it can improve)?

What are future directions for investigation of this topic?

After answering these questions, you write a biblical perspectives section just before your

conclusion that explains how scripture relates to the chosen topic under investigation (refer to the

Biblical Perspectives and Integration document within the resources section for further

guidance).

You must include the current APA formatted citation to the chosen dissertation within a

references page. If you opt to support your analysis with sources, try to use the references that

were used to support the Dissertation. You can also include other references to support your

analysis if needed. Any sources used outside the dissertation should be cited in the references

section according to current APA style.
