Developing critical appraisal skills.
Critical appraisal is used to evaluate research and determine whether it should be incorporated into the reader's area of practice. Checklists are used in critical appraisal to provide a useful framework for the systematic analysis of research studies. Critical appraisal skills can be acquired in a number of ways, and can even be self-taught.
