The purpose of this assignment is to submit a revision and extension of the approved project proposal developed in NSG6802 and NSG6803. In this week’s draft, you will focus on two essential sections: the synthesis of the literature and practice recommendations.
Sections to Include:
- Synthesis of the Literature:
- In this section, provide a comprehensive overview of the existing research related to your practice problem. Begin by summarizing key findings from a variety of sources, including peer-reviewed articles, systematic reviews, and clinical guidelines. Furthermore, highlight the trends and themes that emerge from the literature, identifying areas of consensus as well as any discrepancies among studies.
- Moreover, critically evaluate the quality of the studies included in your synthesis. Discuss the strengths and limitations of the research, considering factors such as sample size, methodology, and relevance to your specific practice problem. By doing this, you will provide a balanced view that underscores the validity of your recommendations.
- Additionally, connect the findings from the literature to the theoretical framework established in earlier sections of your paper. This integration will help to reinforce your argument and demonstrate how the literature supports your proposed intervention.
- Practice Recommendations:
- Based on your synthesis of the literature, outline specific practice recommendations that arise from your research. APA
