Literature Review and Synthesis

"This book is written to be used by healthcare undergraduate and graduate students, as well as nurses and other healthcare and health policy professionals to easily follow towards completing one's own literature review and synthesis. We attempt to include the many types of literature reviews that commonly provide information for healthcare professionals. While systematic reviews are imperative to clinical decision making, we highlight other types of literature reviews that are essential to holistically incorporating multiple study types and diverse forms of information. We provide references to well-known, as well as lesser-known resources that inform the literature review and synthesis process"--
