Essay Instructions: I have started my thesis and have written the table of contents, reference list, abstract, and started chapter 2. I am working with my professor who is my “project advisor”. Therefore, it is extremely important that the writing style stay similar. I will fax what I have written so far so you can use it in the paper. My professor has given me specific guidelines which I will tell you about.

I am a nursing major and my research question is “What is the effect of the method of teaching on the cognitive learning of adult kidney transplant recipients?” I am looking at group teaching of patients vs. individual teaching. The thesis must also have a theoretical framework. I have chosen Dorothea Orem’s theory of self care, which my professor has approved. We only are required to write an abstract, table of contents, chapter 1, 2, & 3, Reference list and appendices. Details on chapter content will be faxed.

The paper must be in APA style; however, there is one exception. I need to have the margins on all sides to be 1 ½ inches. Our school binds our thesis and 1 ½ is needed for this purpose. The reference list must be current - 5 years or less. I can’t use any books, and journal articles should be from professional journals (preferably peer reviewed). All statements should be referenced. (My reference list I am sending you has some errors in it please ensure it is completely APA compliant) The one exception might be for Dorothea Orem’s theory. All nursing papers must have a theoretical framework; Orem’s theory of self care was written a long time ago.

I have 2 student papers from my school I will fax. This is the format I need to follow. I also have another paper from a student from another school which I want to duplicate. That paper is old (2000) and I can’t use the references, however I want to follow everything else in that paper. I also will use the tool, “Evaluation of Transplant Teaching Kidney Transplant Recipients” I received permission from the author. The “old” paper uses the same instrument, and I want to emulate that paper as closely as possible.

The Appendices should have:
A. Consent form (needs to be written)
B. Demographic Form (can use/modify form from 2 student papers faxed to you)
C. Evaluation of Transplant Teaching Test (faxed)
D. Written permission for Instrument (I have)

I will fax the following:
1. 2 student papers from my school to be used as examples and which is the format to follow
2. Generic master’s project research proposal requirement guidelines
3. 1 student paper, “What is the effect of the method of teaching on the cognitive learning of
adult kidney transplant recipients?” (This is the paper to follow as a guideline)
4. A copy of the article “Evaluation of cognitive learning in kidney transplant recipients” It is an old article (1991) , however the instrument I will be using comes from here and it is specific to kidney transplant patients. My professor will let me use it.
5. A copy of the transplant test from the above article.

There are faxes for this order.
