These criteria are often developed for reasons that are targeted to your current skill level as well as course objectives. Take the time to read whatever instructions you are given and ask your teacher to clarify anything that you aren't sure of before you get started. ...One thing that is very important is targeting your review. It needs to be narrow enough that you will have a common focus across all the studies, but broad enough that there is literature to discuss. The most common problems my students have seems to be that they come in with either so much literature that is not at all related or they can't find anything. All of your literature should be specific to one concept that is explicit within each article. In my class, you also need to focus on one patient-centered illness or issue. The combination of these two things gives you the overall topic and title of your review. For example, you could choose to examine the quality of life of patients suffering from mental illness. Now that you know what your topic is, return to the databases and search for literature that fits all the criteria you have for your literature review. It is good to keep a checklist handy so you don't waste time looking at a study you can't use. Don't read the entire article -- skip to the sections you need -- like the publication information, purpose, design, sample and main findings to see if your article will fit with your review. For example, if you are limited to literature published within the last 10 years: Why would you read an article that is older? If you can't use a mixed methods study in your review: Why would you waste your time reading one? Having a checklist with clear inclusion and exclusion criteria for your review will save you a lot of time. Once you have identified your literature, you need to group it into "piles" to talk about. Find out how many topics or piles of literature need to be discussed within your main focus. There are many ways to divide up your studies for discussion. First examine the purposes of your studies. If you notice that you have a number of similar purpose statements, you have likely identified a pile. Then look at the paradigm and designs of each study. It is easiest to synthesize a pile if the paradigm and designs are consistent. If you have too many studies with a common purpose you may even want to divide the pile by design. You may have one qualitative pile that relates to the perceptions of your topic and another quantitative pile that measures it. If that doesn't help you may want to divide your literature by the sample type. Often students will talk about the patient, family and nurse perspectives on an issue. In any pile you want to have some common findings to talk about when you come to synthesize the literature. Make sure your piles make sense before you start to write your review. Also, check to see if there is a minimum number of articles that you can include in a pile. I don't allow my students to call two similar articles a pile -- they need at least three. ...Tabling your literature is an important step that you should not skip. Your literature review is essentially your tables in an essay format. Make sure that you consistently put all the information you will need from your articles into the table (in the same order) so you can easily write your review. ... If you need that in your review you would want to include it in the table so you don't need to go back to all your articles while you are writing. It is handy to develop a guide for yourself that outlines all the required information. There is a link to an example below this video. Again, remember that it may need to be modified. Next, follow the formula and put your descriptive literature review into writing. Organize your tables by piles. Then use your tables, one pile at a time, to put your review into writing. Make sure you follow each step in the formula in order...
