Much effort should be devoted to this section as it is a key component of your work. This should be a synthesis of the literature, not a catalog of studies or simply an analysis of the research you discover.

  1. Perform a literature review using a minimum of seven (7) peer-reviewed articles and books, as well as non-research literature such as evidence-based guidelines, toolkits, standardized procedures, etc.
  2. Review of areas in relationship to medicine, nursing, public health, etc.
    1. The review should be critical and synthesize rather than just being a catalog of studies.
  3. Summarize the key findings of the research and its relevancy to your project that point out the scientific status of the phenomenon under question. Such a statement includes:
    1. What we know and how well we know it.
    2. What we do not know.
  4. Describe any gaps in knowledge that you found and the effects this may have on advanced practice nursing as it relates to your project topic.

Your integrative literature review should be 5–6 pages in length, not including the cover or reference pages. You must reference a minimum of 7 scholarly articles published within the past 5-7.

Use current APA format to style your paper and to cite your sources. Review the rubric for more information on how the assignment will be graded
