Assignment Guideline:
Introduction (500 words max)
⦁ Very brief introduction to your review
⦁ Rationale for the research topic and the specific research question chosen.
⦁ Rationale should be supported by wide range of academic literature. This is necessary to demonstrate understanding of the subject area you are reviewing. You may also use some clinical and/or personal experiences to help justify your research question.
⦁ Explain why an integrative review of the literature is important for your research question.
The literature review method as informed by Aveyard, (2014; 2019)
(500 words max)
⦁ A focused research question is required. Refer to your PVEBP notes here in relation to PICO, PIO and PEO. You can use a table if you wish.
⦁ A clear search strategy explaining how and where you searched for research articles, your search terms, synonyms and the ways in which you combined them.
⦁ Clear inclusion and exclusion criteria explaining how you narrowed your search to 5 – 8 research articles.
Remember, your 5 – 8 research articles must include mostly primary research, but you may also include a maximum of 2 secondary sources of research.
⦁ Discuss how (using critical appraisal tools like CASP) and why you critically appraised the research design methods of your 5 – 8 selected research articles.
⦁ Discuss use of a data extraction table (see figure 1) and attach it as a labelled appendix. The table to be used in your assignment is under the data extraction table Moodle tile.
⦁ Critical appraisal comments generated from CASP or any other critical appraisal tool must be entered directly into the “research design strengths and weaknesses” column of your data extraction table. The amount of critical comments you enter in to the data extraction table is up to you, but there should be no less than 3 critical comments on the research design methods used in each of your articles.
⦁ A theming table (see figure 2) must be completed and attached as a labelled appendix. Please do not attempt to complete your theming table until you have completed a data extraction table for all 5 – 8 articles. The theming table to be used in your assignment is under the theming Moodle tile.
⦁ 2-4 themes must be generated. Themes should summarise the key research findings emerging from your studies and theme headings must answer or directly inform your specific research question.
