HCS/465 Accountability Annotated Bibliography

Accountability Annotated Bibliography Example

This document includes tips and example sentences for you to consider as you begin to create an annotated bibliography comprised of the three peer-reviewed research articles you selected in the Week 1 assignment. 

Create an APA-formatted reference for each source.

• Example: Doe, Jane, & Sample, Adam. (2022). Burnout among Boston-area hospital employees. The Journal of Hospital Studies, 12(3), 45–67.

For each source, write a brief annotation (approximately 150–200 words) in which you discuss the following:

• Sample description and size

• Geographical location of the study

o Example: The study enrolled a total of 345 health care workers from three separate university hospitals in the Boston metropolitan area.

• Research method (e.g., qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods)

Example: A quantitative design approach was implemented in this study. The authors administered two surveys that sought to examine the relationship between nursing burnout and anxiety symptoms.

• Results/outcome of the study

• Legal or regulatory impact of the study

o Example: The findings showed a positive correlation between nursing burnout, low morale, and increased anxiety at all three hospital sites. In addition, the findings suggested an increase in hospital-acquired infections (HAI). This has direct regulatory implications as the authors discuss the link between HAI and increased costs within the hospital system.
