Literature Review Guide for Nursing Research

A literature review is critical to the research process as it provides an in-depth analysis of recently published findings on areas of interest. It informs the research question and guides the development of the research plan. A literature review adds credibility to the topic, identifies studies that can be replicated or instruments that have been tested, and reveals appropriate theoretical frameworks. It also contributes to the existing body of knowledge or establishes a lack of prior research. Sources for a literature review include peer-reviewed journal articles, books, conference proceedings, theses/dissertations, practice guidelines, and government reports. Several free databases and websites can be used to search for related studies and literature with full text access.

proposed for investigation ✓ Identify studies that can be replicated,
