Description of the Assignment
An annotated bibliography is an alphabetical list of information sources (such as journal articles), formatted like a bibliography or a reference list, accompanied by a commentary, or annotation, for each source. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to learn about a topic through a critical review of literature and encourage a deeper engagement with literature to develop analytical skills
This assignment presents a method for examining several theories important and useful to the nurse practitioner role.

- Sources should be related to nursing practice using the selected theory/model.
- Sources should be scholarly, relevant to the theory/model and to nursing, and published within the past 5 years. If source is older than 5 years, instructor permission should be obtained and the historical significance of the article should be explained.

SOLUTION
Agren, S., Eriksson, A., Fredrikson, M., Hollman-Frisman, G., & Orwelius, L. (2018). The health promoting conversations intervention for families with a critically ill relative: A pilot study. Intensive and Critical Care Nursing, 1-9.
The outlined in the article pilot study concerns conversations intervention for family members and was conducted in conditions of the Swedish health care system, where family-based care is allegedly rare. Approximately twenty families underwent nurse-led health promotion conversations – to determine their effectiveness pre- and post-tests were used. Furthermore, one year after the health promotion took place, Agren et al. (2018) contacted the families who reported improved family and social functioning and mental state compared to the reference group. The interventions’ effectiveness was estimated based on governmentally approved measurement tools, such as the Family Sense of Coherence scale. Nonetheless, the study’s sample size of seventeen families seems insufficient to make generalizations. Please click the purchase button to access the entire copy at $5
