Document Summary
Kp290 chapter 4 you"ve been asked to conduct a systematic. A literature review focused on a research question that tries to identify, appraise, select, and synthesize all high quality research evidence relevant to the question (campbell collaboration, 2013) Attempts to collate all empirical evidence that fits pre-specified eligibility criteria in order to answer a specific research question. It uses explicit, systematic methods that are selected with a view to minimizing bias, thus providing more reliable findings from which conclusions can be drawn and decisions made (antman et al. , 1992; oxman and guyatt, 1993) The sample may not be representative of the entire population. Systematic reviews use explicit methods aimed at minimizing bias in order to produce more reliable findings that can be used to inform decision making. New studies: good for examining new research, not good for using the research in health care. Study hasn"t been replicated enough and the topic hasn"t been researched enough.
