  4. (5) To generate useful research ?’s & hypotheses of interest to nursing • (6) Todetermines appropriate research design, methodology, & analysis based on earlier reports • (7) To determine if there is a need for replication of study • (8) To synthesize strengths & weaknesses of earlier reports in a concise manner

  5. literature review concentrate on the following: • 1.When the problem/ concept was identified • 2.When was it 1st investigated • 3.How was it previously investigated • 4.By whom was it investigated (individual, multi-site, WHO etc) • 5.Gaps & inconsistencies identified (provides directions for future research)

Critiquing Criteria for Review of Literature: after completing review • (1) Does literature review fit purpose(s) of the current proposed study ? • (2) Are all relevant concepts & variables included in the review? • (3) Do summaries reflect essential components of the study (e.g., study design, results, instruments, validity, reliability issues, etc) • (4) Does critique include strengths, weaknesses, limitations with design, etc? • (5) What are gaps or inconsistencies?

  9. (6) Are primary & current sources used mostly?(e.g., chronologically زمنيا ? • (7)How does the review reflect critical thinking?
