Appraisal and Synthesis
After appraising all journal articles, I have seen a common conclusion from all documents. Every article determined that there is great evidence to support the concept that altered sleep patterns can be a result of and/or add complications towards the mental health of adolescents. As a future nurse, I take this information very seriously. There needs to be more education and awareness towards encouraging proper sleep within adolescent aged children. I believe we should also place a closer view towards any long-term effects that prolonged sleep alterations can impose to a developing mind. I had assumed prior that there would potentially be connections before finding the results of all articles. Sleep impacts the way that we function, and any impairment in that could impose major negative effects on a psychological level. All my team members agree that the findings are realistic. We also went to great efforts to determine that the studies were credible and performed accurately. As of right now, we have not faced any issues collectively as a group. We have set specific times for all of us to join while working on our project. Therefore, we feel fully feel prepared for the next steps in this process.
