Objective: The objective of this assignment is to develop a comprehensive literature review abstract list based on the topic you selected and submitted last week, aligning with your submitted PICOT question.
This literature review will consist of at least three academic sources that support and enhance your research topic in nursing.
Instructions:
- Selection of Sources:
- Scholarly Sources: Choose a minimum of three scholarly sources that are directly relevant to your research topic.
- Credibility: Ensure each source is credible and comes from reputable academic journals or publications. Verify the reliability and scholarly nature of the sources.
- Literature Review Abstract List:
- Detailed Abstracts: For each selected source, create a detailed abstract that includes the following components:
- Complete APA 7 Citation: Provide the full citation for each source, adhering to APA 7 formatting guidelines. Ensure accuracy in authors, publication year, title, journal name, volume, issue, and page numbers.
- Purpose: Summarize the main objective or research question of the study. Clearly state the aim and significance of the research.
- Design: Describe the research design and methodology used in the study. Include information on the study type (e.g., randomized controlled trial, cohort study), sample size, data collection methods, and analysis techniques.
- Results: Present the key findings or results of the study. Highlight the main outcomes, statistical significance, and any relevant data presented in the research.
- Recommendations: Outline the recommendations made by the authors. Explain how these recommendations relate to and support your research topic and PICOT question. Discuss the practical implications and potential impact on nursing practice.
- Literature Review Table:
- Organization: Organize the abstracts into a literature review table for easy reference and comparison. Use a clear and logical structure to present the information.
- Required Components: Ensure your table includes all required components: citation, purpose, design, results, and recommendations. Consider using headings and subheadings to enhance readability.
- Connection to Your Research:
- Support for Research Topic: Clearly explain how each source supports your chosen research topic. Discuss the relevance and importance of the evidence in the context of your PICOT question.
