Doing a Literature Review in Health and Social Care: A practical guide, Fourth Edition

Product Information

Research examining nurse–patient interactions and communication when nurses' use electronic health records is limited but evidence suggests that closed nurse–patient communications, reflecting a task-driven approach, were predominantly used when nurses used electronic health records, although some nurses were able to overcome logistical barriers and communicate more openly. Nurses' use of electronic health records impacts on the flow, nature and quality of communication between a nurse and patient. Aveyard, H. (2019b) ‘Chapter 3. Which literature will be relevant to my literature review?’, in Doing a literature review in health and social care : a practical guide. 4th edn. Maidenhead : McGraw-Hill Education. Following a comprehensive search, the studies were appraised using a tool appropriate to the study design. Data were extracted from the studies that met the inclusion criteria relating to sample characteristics, methods and the strength of evidence. Included empirical studies had to examine interactions or communication between a nurse and patient while electronic health records were being used in any healthcare setting. Findings were synthesized using a thematic approach. Have you heard of 'evidence based practice' but don't know what it means? Are you having trouble relating evidence to your practice? This is the book for anyone who has ever wondered what evidence based practice is or how to relate it to practice. This accessible book presents the topic in a simple, easy to understand way, enabling those unfamiliar with evidence based practice to apply the concept to their practice and learning. Using everyday language, this book provides a step by step guide to what we mean by evidence based practice and how to apply it. It also: -Provides an easy to follow guide to searching for evidence. -Explains how to work out if the evidence is relevant or not. -Explores how evidence can be applied in the practice setting. -Outlines how evidence can be incorporated into your academic writing. A Beginner's Guide to Evidence Based Practice in Health and Social Care is key reading for everyone involved in looking at and applying evidence - students, practice educators, mentors and practising health and social care professionals. Open Access on RADAR An integrative literature review was undertaken. Five academic databases were searched, which identified six relevant studies. Whittemore and Knafl's method for conducting an integrative review was followed. ENTREQ guidelines have been adhered to. Findings

A brief summary of Study Types is provided by University Library, Georgia State University (2022). Aveyard (2019b) and Muir Gray (2009, pp. 125-180) cover these in more detail, including their purpose and suitability for use in research. Greenhalgh (2019) looks at assessing methodological quality of different study types, with practical exercises. References

Teaching/Research interests The move to electronic health records has taken place largely without consideration of the impact that this might have on nurse–patient interaction and communication. There is evidence of impact but also evidence of how this might be mitigated. Nurses must focus future research on examining the impact that these systems have, and to develop strategies and practice that continue to promote the importance of nurse–patient interactions and communication.

Discussion. There is no ‘gold standard’ method of recruitment and no best way to approach participants. The outcome of each method, measured by the percentage of potential participants recruited, appears to be unrelated to the approach used. Jensen D, Sorensen A.

Some terms reflected established methods for doing a review whilst others could not be traced to established methods and/or the description of method in the paper was limited. We also found inconsistency in how the terms were used. Conclusion Aim. To use a focused mapping approach to explore the recruitment to studies of grieving and bereaved people.

Doing a Literature Review in Health and Social Care, 3rd Edition is essential reading for students at all levels within the health and social care field and a useful text for anyone new to reviewing and appraising evidence. -- Provided by publisher. The aim of this paper is to report on qualitative data concerning nurses" use of sedation which were obtained as part of a larger study to explore the way in which nurses obtain consent prior to nursing care procedures. Try using this Search-plan-worksheetto break your topic down into concepts. These can then be linked together when you run the search. You can also add synonyms within each concept box. The yellow limits box is a prompt to think about any limits you want to apply when searching. This leads us to Step 6.

Reliance on secondary sources, rather than reference to original texts, leading to misunderstandings about some forms of review With real-life examples of written research and succinct summaries at the end of each chapter, A Post-Graduate’s Guide to Doing a Literature Review in Health and Social Care is the ideal text for students wanting to get the very most from their study. -- Provided by publisher. Published here Over the past two decades there has been a proliferation of review types, with corresponding explosion of terms used to describe them. A review of evidence synthesis methodologies by Grant and Booth in 2009 [ 20] identified 14 different approaches to reviewing the literature and similarly, Booth and colleagues [ 21] detailed 19 different review types, highlighting the range of review types currently available. We might consider this the ‘proliferation era’. This is however, somewhat a double-edged sword, because although researchers now have far more review methods at their disposal, there is risk of confusion in the field. As Sabatino and colleagues (2014) [ 22] have argued, review methods are not always consistently applied by researchers. Comprehensive searchers are undertaken when the stated review type does not suggest this is necessaryNurses responsible for the design and delivery of teaching and learning experiences for nursing students need to ensure meaningful teaching and learning experiences. This learning should assist future nurses to interrogate their complicity in a system of white dominance. Impact Adib-Hajbaghery M, Sharifi N.

Despite concern expressed in recent government documents in the UK about the inappropriate use of sedation when a patient is agitated or confused and cannot consent, there is little nursing literature on the topic. The general legal and ethical principles apply that a patient who is unable to consent should be given care that is in his or her"best interests" .
