Are research questions and/or hypotheses explicitly stated? If not, is their absence justified? The researcher’s aim, point of view, and hypothesis and the need for answers are included in the study. Research questions were clearly discussed within the text of the background. Are questions and hypotheses appropriately worded, with clear specification of key variables and the study population? Yes, the questions and hypothesis were appropriately worded. The aim of the study was concise and consistent
title a good one, succinctly suggesting key variables and the study population? The brief title is good and it was clearly defined, because it informs the readers the overall purpose study. The title leads the readers to the abstract. It informs the readers that the study is a literature review with a key population of practical nursing students.
