Identify a barrier or issue in health care that you want to address through your capstone project paper (Reduction of healthcare workers' burnout in a hospital environment by improving workload balance. Perform a literature review on the barrier or issue using the GCU Library. Present 8-10 peer-reviewed primary research articles . These articles should be either qualitative or quantitative.

Literature Evaluation table attached separately

Here are some articles, that my professor prefers me include:

You may use either health care or nursing peer-reviewed journals; however, at least half of the primary articles must come from peer-reviewed nursing journals. The peer-reviewed articles must consist of research published within the last 5 years.

Use the "HLT-494 - Literature Evaluation Table" template to document your detailed assessment of each primary study. This document helps break down the components of each article to ensure the article meets the requirements for a professional nursing paper. Ensure that each of your articles provides information that meets each criterion listed. Assess the research and provide a detailed and clear explanation how each article supports your capstone project and evidence-based practice (between five and six sentences).
