Comprehensive systematic review for advanced nursing practice

Abstract

This book addresses the basic concepts of systematic reviews and their relationship to clinical practice and policy, and delineates the systematic steps of this process along with the development of a systematic review proposal and clinical question. It also describes how to find and select the best available evidence and explores specific types of systematic reviews including experimental, observational and economic evidence, and the current and future use of the process. It is an essential resource for practitioners seeking to provide care based on the most current evidence-based knowledge.
