Nursing literature reviews : a reflection / Martin Lipscomb.

By: Lipscomb, Martin [author.]Material type: TextTextPublisher: London : Routledge, 2020Description: xvi, 165 pages ; 25 cmContent type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780415792714 (pbk.) :Subject(s): Nursing -- Research | Nursing -- Research -- Methodology | Nursing literature | Health and Fitness | Health and WellbeingDDC classification: 610.7'3'072 Summary: Literature reviews are undertaken by students, researchers, clinicians, and educationalists - that is, almost all nurses. Despite much excellent work, exploring the assumptions and practices that constitute searching for and reviewing literature has merit, and prompting those who undertake these activities to think critically about what it is that they are doing should be encouraged. Widely adopted approaches to structuring reviews (the 'standard model') can detrimentally limit the scope or range of literature that is accessed and appraised. It is further proposed that a lack of professional ambition or confidence invests aspects of the way some nurses engage with the sources that are available to them. Across the book, parochialism is challenged. The crucial roles that values and judgement play in reviews are highlighted.
