-Discuss whether the study sample composition reflects the study needs

-Identify the sample size

-Discuss the adequacy of the sample size

-Briefly describe how the data was analyzed

-Briefly describe the findings

-Discuss whether the study’s findings adequately answer the study question.

Explanation / Answer

Carlson, L. E., Tamagawa, R., Stephen, J., Drysdale, E., Zhong, L., & Speca, M. (2016). Randomized-controlled trial of mindfulness-based cancer recovery versus supportive expressive group therapy among distressed breast cancer survivors (MINDSET): long-term follow-up results. Psycho-Oncology, (7), 750. doi:10.1002/pon.4150

Critically appraise one quantitative research study by discussing the following required elements:

Identify the study question (note: it is OK to use a direct quote)

Wheather mindfullness is usefull in the recovery process of distressed breast cancer survivours when used in contrast of supportive expressive grouptherapy.

Identify the study design

The design used is randamized controlled trials ,it is one of the experimental design in quantitative studies

Describe the study sample

The study sample are distressed breast cancer survivors.

Discuss whether the study sample composition reflects the study needs

Yes the study sample composition reflects the study needs ,because the researcher wants to study the effective ness of mindfullness on the recovary of breast cancer survivors

Identify the sample size

Sample size is not mentioned in the research statement, but when seen in oline in pubmed ,it is 252

Discuss the adequacy of the sample size

The adequacy of sample size will depend on the thumb rule or power analysis , for experimental studies sample need to be high . It also depends on the range of study taken up by the researcher.

Effect sizes of the time×group interactions were small to medium, and most benefits were maintained over 12 months of follow-up.

Briefly describe how the data was analyzed

Questionnaires addressing mood, stress symptoms, quality of life, social support, spirituality and post-traumatic growth before and after the interventions, and 6 and 12 months later are analysed

Briefly describe the findings

Immediately following the intervention, women in MBCR reported greater reduction in mood disturbance (primarily fatigue, anxiety and confusion) and stress symptoms including tension, sympathetic arousal and cognitive symptoms than those in SET. They also reported increased emotional and functional quality of life, emotional, affective and positive social support, spirituality (feelings of peace and meaning in life) and post-traumatic growth (appreciation for life and ability to see new possibilities) relative to those in SET, who also improved to a lesser degree on many outcomes.

Discuss whether the study’s findings adequately answer the study question.

The study is the first and largest to demonstrate sustained benefits of MBCR in distressed breast cancer survivors relative to an active control. MBCR was superior to SET for improving psychological well-being with lasting benefits over 1 year, suggesting these women gained long-lasting and efficacious tools to cope with cancer.

Discuss how you can apply the findings of the study in clinical practice

We can directictly apply the evidence by the method of EBP to give effective care

Discuss the role of quantitative research in evidence based practice

It is the life for EBP ,on which dynamic chenges in tailore made care can be practiced.
