Document Summary
Define: formulate a focused answerable question from the practice situation based on your information needs. A clearly defined question or problem is the starting point for an effective literature search. A search strategy that begins with sources of quality pre-processed research evidence will save time and lead to trustworthy and relevant results. Appraise: critically and efficiently appraise the research sources. Relevant research evidence may include findings from quantitative or qualitative research from a variety of disciplines. Different types of questions call for different types of research methods. There are critical appraisal tools tailored to each type of research question to assess the quality of the information you have found. Synthesize: interpret/form recommendations for practice based on the literature found. Take into account the methodological strength of the research evidence and the results of all research findings relevant to the question. Determine if and how the results apply to your client/population.
