PICOT Literature Review

The purpose of this assignment is to write an introduction to a literature review that clearly and succinctly introduces your topic to a reader. You also outline the rest of your literature review.

Write an introduction to the literature review. An introduction sets the stage for a reader to understand why your topic or question is of interest and warrants investigation. The search history should be a paragraph describing your search history within the electronic database. Ensure you include key words used, as well as how many articles were found at each stage, and answer your PICOT question.

Assignment Requirements

Using APA formatting, write a 2–3-page paper (the page count does not include the title page or reference list) that includes the following headers and content:

• Title page
• Introduction (remember that APA does not use “Introduction” as a heading level): this introduces your topic and why it’s important to nursing. It should end with your PICO(T) question.
• Search history (includes library and databases searched, key words used, number of articles found, number of articles selected, and the reason articles were excluded or included, as well as the final number retrieved).
• In an outline format, lay out how your headings will appear for the remainder of the paper.
  • The headings are:
    • Synthesis and Critique of the Evidence
    • Gaps in Evidence (state here, along with the gaps, whether you feel there is sufficient research to implement this into practice)
    • Conclusion
• Reference list with all works in APA format.
• Submit to Grammarly to get assistance on your writing mechanics.
