Literature Evaluation Table for Peer-Reviewed Articles About Vaccines
In nursing practice, accurate identification and application of research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. Being able to articulate the information and successfully summarize relevant peer-reviewed articles in a scholarly fashion helps to support the student's ability and confidence to further develop and synthesize the progressively more complex assignments that constitute the components of the course change proposal capstone project.
For this assignment, the student will provide a synopsis of eight peer-reviewed articles from nursing journals using an evaluation table that determines the level and strength of evidence for each of the eight articles. The articles should be current within the last 5 years and closely relate to the PICOT statement developed earlier in this course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A systematic review may be used to provide background information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project. Use the "Literature Evaluation Table" resource to complete this assignment.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
Please include a separate page with the web links to most of the references.

Research Questions (Qualitative)/Hypothesis (Quantitative), and Purposes/Aim of Study
Does mercury exist in vaccines and are vaccines or mercury associated with autism?
(1) Examine the independent and combined associations of maternal obesity and diabetes with ASD in children controlling for potential confounders; and (2) contrast them with the effects on intellectual disability (ID), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other DDs in children.
Whether children with Nephrotic Syndrome are receiving the recommended vaccinations at appropriate times.

Key Findings
Lack of scientific backing for vaccine myths.
Maternal pre-pregnancy obesity and pre-gestational diabetes (PGDM) were each associated with risk of ASD
There is growing evidence that vaccine recommendation by medical providers is paramount in vaccine adherence among pediatric patients with NS.
Vaccines, like all drugs, have side effects. Most of these are very mild and reasonably common but, in some instances, there can be rare or serious adverse events following immunization (AEFI).
Recommendations
Revising the democratization of health-related decision making
Children whose mothers had a combination of obesity and diabetes during pregnancy may have an elevated risk of developing ASD and ID. Therefore, they require special attention
