LITERATURE REVIEW

A group of medical professionals smiling Description automatically generated

In Week 10, you will continue to develop your Literature Review Assignment which is due by Day 7.

Note: This Assignment is hypothetical in nature and is unrelated to your Practicum and DNP Project. However, the work you put in on this Assignment will help prepare you for the Practicum and DNP Project which will come later in your program.

Note: This is a three-part Assignment. By Day 7 of Week 10, you must complete and submit Appendices B, G, and H found in the Dang et.al. text.

Resources

Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity. Click the weekly resources link to access the resources.

WEEKLY RESOURCES

To Prepare

· Review the Literature Review Assignment resources located in this week’s Learning Resources. Pay special attention to Chapters 19, 20, and 21 of the White et al. text; Chapters 4, 5, 6, and 11 of the Dang et al. text; and the articles addressing the PICOT format. Note: Be sure to review Appendices B, E, F, G, and H in the Dang et al. text. You will be required to complete and submit Appendices B, G, and H for this Assignment.

· Select an organization with which you are familiar and a practice or organization issue which needs addressing. Note: You may reuse organizations and/or issues that you selected earlier in this course or select new ones.

· Consider possible practice questions to address the issue you selected. Ask yourself:

· Why is it a problem?

· What has been done about it?

· What is the gap in practice?

· Select one practice question to develop using Appendix B. Note: The PICOT components will assist you in identifying search terms. Make sure your practice question is evidence-based, nursing focused, and has measurable outcomes.

· Using the Walden Library, search the evidence to identify 15 or more recent peer-reviewed articles (within the past 5 years) related to your practice question. Note: Use Appendices E and F to help you search, but you do not need to submit these for grading.

· Using Appendix H, grade the evidence and select the 10 articles with the strongest evidence ratings. Note: if you have more than 10 articles that you deem worthy, you can enter up to 15 into Appendix H.

· Using Appendix H, synthesize the 10 articles you selected.

· Using Appendix G, enter all relevant information about the 10 articles you selected and synthesized.

Note: This is a three-part Assignment. By Day 7 of Week 10, you must complete and submit Appendices B, G, and H found in the Dang et.al. text.

The Assignment

For this three-part Assignment, you will submit three items as follows:

Part 1: Submit your completed Appendix B, which demonstrates your fully developed practice question.

Part 2: Submit your completed Appendix H, which demonstrates your grading and synthesizing of the evidence you identified. Note: You will complete Appendix H before Appendix G, despite being out of order alphabetically.

Part 3: Submit your completed Appendix G, which lists the relevant information about the evidence you selected.

By Day 7 of Week 10

Submit your completed Part 1: Appendix B; Part 2: Appendix H; and Part 3: Appendix G of your Assignment.

Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice

Individual Evidence Summary Tool (Appendix G)

EBP Question:
Reviewer name(s)	Article number	Author, date, and title	Type of evidence	Population, size, and setting	Intervention	Findings that help answer the EBP question	Measures used	Limitations	Evidence level and quality	Notes to team

Directions for use of the Individual Evidence Summary Tool

Purpose: Use this form to document and collate the results of the review and appraisal of each piece of evidence in preparation for evidence synthesis. The table headers indicate important elements of each article that will contribute to the synthesis process. The data in each cell should be complete enough that the other team members can gather all relevant information related to the evidence without having to go to each source article.

See Chapter 11, Lessons from Practice, for examples of completed tools.

Reviewer name(s):

Record the member(s) of the team who are providing the information for each article. This will provide tracking if there are follow-up items or additional questions on an individual piece of evidence.

Article number:

Assign a number to each piece of evidence included in the table. This organizes the individual evidence summary and provides an easy way to reference articles.

Author, date, and title:

Record the last name of the first author of the article, the publication/communication date, and the title. This will help track articles throughout the literature search, screening, and review process. It is also helpful when someone has authored more than one publication included in the review.

Type of evidence:

Indicate the type of evidence for each source. This should be descriptive of the study or project design (e.g., randomized control trial, meta-analysis, mixed methods, qualitative, systematic review, case study, literature review) and not simply the level on the evidence hierarchy.

Population, size, and setting:

For research evidence, provide a quick view of the population, number of participants, and study location. For non-research evidence, population refers to the target audience, patient population, or profession. Non-research evidence may or may not have a sample size and/or location as found with research evidence.

Intervention:

Record the intervention(s) implemented or discussed in the article. This should relate to the intervention or comparison elements of your PICO question.

Findings that help answer the EBP question:

List findings from the article that directly answer the EBP question. These should be succinct statements that provide enough information that the reader does not need to return to the original article. Avoid directly copying and pasting from the article.

Measures used:

These are the measures and/or instruments (e.g., counts, rates, satisfaction surveys, validated tools, subscales) the authors used to determine the answer to the research question or the effectiveness of their intervention. Consider these measures as identified in the evidence for collection during the implementation of the EBP team’s project.

Limitations:

Provide the limitations of the evidence—both as listed by the authors as well as your assessment of any flaws or drawbacks. Consider the methodology, quality of reporting, and generalizability to the population of interest. Limitations should be apparent from the team’s appraisals using the Research and Non-Research Evidence Appraisal Tools (Appendices E and F). It can be helpful to consider the reasons an article did not receive a “high” quality rating because these reasons are limitations identified by the team.

Evidence level and quality:

Using the Research and Non-Research Evidence Appraisal tools (Appendices E and F), record the level (I-V) and quality (A, B or C) of the evidence. When possible, at least two reviewers should determine the level and quality.

Notes to team:

The team uses this section to keep track of items important to the EBP process not captured elsewhere on this tool. Consider items that will be helpful to have easy reference to when conducting the evidence synthesis.
