Assessment Description
While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone project change proposal, the literature review enables students to map out and move into the active planning and development stages of the project.
A literature review analyzes how current research supports the PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in the evidence. Students will use the PICOT question from the earlier “PICOT Question” template and information from the “Literature Evaluation Table” assignment to develop a review.
Using eight peer-reviewed articles, write 750-1,000-word review that includes the following sections:
- Introduction section (including PICOT Question)
- A summary of the purpose of the studies
- A comparison of sample populations
- A synthesis of the studies’ conclusions (when looking at all of the studies together, group the conclusions by themes )
- A summary of the limitations of the studies
- A conclusion section, incorporating recommendations for further research
You are required to cite a minimum of eight peer-reviewed articles to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the past 5 years, appropriate for the assignment criteria, and relevant to nursing practice.
