| Popis: | A RTICLES THROUGHOUT the nursing literature identify the need for and value of using research in practice (Mayhew, 1993; Stetler, Bautista, Vernale-Hannon, & Foster, 1995; Titler & Goode, 1995). A significant step in the utilization process is the critique of research literature, followed by integration of multiple related findings to create a high quality, best evidence synthesis (Slavin, 1986). The phrase integrative review (IR) is used to indicate the systematic analysis and synthesis of research on a targeted topic. Such a synthesis reduces uncertainty about targeted practice recommendations, enables " . . . accurate generalizations about phenomena from the limited information" available (Jackson, 1980, p. 442), and facilitates decision making regarding actions and interventions that could result in the most effective, costefficient care. As a group of nurses in one acute care setting searched for a framework to guide their conduct of IRs, they discovered that not all IRs are created equal. They also found that available frameworks did not provide the level of direction or detail desired. Outlined below is an overview of attributes perceived as enhancing the quality of reviews applicable to everyday nursing practice, limitations perceived as diminishing the usefulness of published integrative reviews, and the framework developed for this setting to strengthen their reviews and resultant recommendations for practice. |
