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.

5-6 pages. APA.

 

1. Choose one of the shared theories presented in McEwen & Willis Chapters 13-18, or identify another from the current nursing literature for review in nursing research. (Note: if you select a theory not discussed in the text, please check with your grading faculty).
2. Access CINAHL and identify two nursing research studies that used the theory in their work (maybe as a conceptual framework, but maybe testing the theory). Be aware that since these are non-nursing theories, much of the research that uses them is from other disciplines.  For this assignment, we are interested in how nursing researchers use them (i.e. select nursing journals).
3. Create an annotated bibliography (if you are unfamiliar with this term, please look it up and an example is also provided here). Focus your notation on how the theory was used for the study – not the process, methods, or findings of the study!!!!
4. Create a reference list and title page (APA)
