Research Question is: In ICU patients where are the best evidenced based strategies for Klebsiella pneumoniae infection prevention?
Purpose/Objective of this assignment:
To provide a systematic review and synthesis of the identified research articles to establish the current state of knowledge surrounding the research area.
Assignment requirements:
1. Review the body of literature (i.e., all keeper articles) in a integrated manner
Identify, analyze, and discuss themes/trends/subtopics, and areas of commonalities and differences in approaches or methodologies.
What did the studies find? What is the current state of knowledge area?
Have there been any controversies or debates about the research? Is there consensus? Are there any contradictions?
Which areas have been identified as needing further research? Have any pathways been suggested?
Discuss whether your research question was answered based on the literature you found, using references
2. Reach a synthesis
Present your major conclusions of the literature review
Evaluation of the overall quality/strength of the body of evidence.
Develop an overall synthesis statement to inform decision-making.
3. A reference list in APA format should be included
See sample paper attached.
