"Summary of Major Content Sections of a Research Report and Related Critical Appraisal Guidelines" Name Institution Background and significance The background and significance of the research question or hypothesis is succinctly presented in the introduction of the study. The background has illustrated and comprehensively introduced what is to be covered by the research and study. For instance, the background and significance of the study reveals more on the surgical-site infection, how it has affected a number of subjects between three hundred thousand, and five hundred thousand, who have enrolled for surgery activities. The introduction reveals the previous cases of the surgical problem and limits this to further study. It prompts the research team to tell of the importance of having the study done to test the results previously found from a surgery after finding an antimicrobial dressing containing silver in reducing surgical-site infection upon a study on colorectal cancer elective surgery (Roberto et. al., 2012). Research question and hypothesis The previous surgical study found an antimicrobial dressing containing silver in reducing surgical-site infection upon a study on colorectal cancer elective surgery. The study then hypothesizes to test this finding by use of a randomized and double blind trial. The research question entails all the facets, practical, and concluder remarks to be made between the independent and dependent variables. The research question exemplifies on the causes of this observation found in the study and the way it relates to the efficacy of Aquacel in the prevention of SSIs in colorectal cancer elective surgery. The research question has been placed on the context of theoretical framework. The study is because of the previous study. The aims, goals, and purpose of the study have been substantiated by the need to expound on the previous study findings through use of a different methodology. Review of literature The search study involves a number of research databases and other resources. The previously conducted and concluded cancer surgical operations are fundamental to the present study. A summary of the new study forms the basis in which the strengths and weaknesses are addressed with new findings being sort. At the European institute of Oncology, 23% of the study subjects showed a reduced rate with a substitution of the Aquacel for a usual dressing. The study thus decides to test this finding using randomized double blind trial contrary to the common dressing as a control. Therefore, both the primary and secondary theoretical sources have been used. Internal and external validity The controls for threats to internal validity are based on the up comings from the previous study. The appropriateness of these results strikes the need to further research new findings using a different research study method in a randomized and double blind test. The controls for threats to external validity include thorough research and recorded findings from the previously done cancer-related surgery. Their appropriateness is because the previous study limits or expounds on the proximity of the study. This is a study based on a completed different study. The sources of the bias are a repeat of the previously done study procedures. However, they are dealt with by use of a new and different methodology in a randomized and double blind test. Research design The study involves a randomized research design structure. The study bases its objectives on a previously conducted study with the results being expounded further through a different research method. This makes the rationale for the study. The randomized method used compares the silver-containing dressings of wounds and other agents with other silver-containing and non-silver containing comparators. Therefore, this makes the research design to flow from the proposed research questions, hypotheses, theoretical frameworks, and reviewe...
