Study Notes
Lecture 3: Perform a Comprehensive Literature Search
- SOHP503 Project Studies lecture by Dr. Joanne Paton
- Aim: Learn how to search, identify, read, and critique best available and most relevant reviews, papers, and journals for undergraduate research topics.
- Learning Outcomes for the SOHP503 Interdisciplinary Module (Year 2):
- Judiciously select studies and report their findings based on relevance.
- Assess the strengths and weaknesses of different studies (rational, empirical, and methodological).
- Systematically search relevant research literature in a defined area of health/medicine.
- Compare and contrast empirical findings from various studies
Literature Review
- Introduction and background to the project should persuade the reader of the research's value.
- Refine research question.
- Include references.
- Don't need to provide search strategy details (e.g., PICO).
Assignment Brief
- Introduction: Narrative paragraph.
- Background and Rationale (600-700 words):
- Critique existing literature
- Identify gap in knowledge.
- Form the rationale of the proposed study
- Literature search (last 10 years is acceptable for undergraduate research).
- Include the introduction of main areas, background into context, identification of research gap, impact of answering the gap, and rationale for the proposed research.
- Clearly state impact and rationale, research question, aims, and objectives (2-5).
Literature Review Framework
- Introduction
- Development of research rationale
- Critical review of literature
- Conclusion
- Aim
Literature Review Framework (Detailed)
- General introduction orienting the reader to the research topic.
- Critical appraisal of relevant studies (last 10 years).
- Brief description of studies (aim, sample size, methods, main findings).
- Critical review of study validity, reliability, methodology, implications. (Not just description)
- Conclusion justifying the need for the study
- Research question/PEO (Purpose, Exposure, Outcome)
- Example AIM: Determine if hand washing with alcohol-based disinfectant is more effective than non-antiseptic soap.
Step 1: Identify Research Topic Area
- Identify investigation topic.
- Example: Does diabetic footcare education improve self-footcare in people with diabetes?
- Conduct preliminary research (internet, other resources).
Step 2: Identify Search Criteria & Key Terms (PICO/PEO)
- Table outlining Population, Intervention/Exposure, Comparison/Setting, and Outcome for research.
- Alternative terms for each category provided.
Step 3: Search for Studies
- Utilize electronic databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, AMED, EMBASE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, PsycINFO).
- Use EndNote Online for managing references.
- Follow the library guide for Endnote Online.
Step 4: Data Extraction
- Collect relevant information to describe study participants (Example provided in data extraction table).
Step 5: Evaluate and Critical Appraisal
- Not Synthesized:
- Review of individual studies (Paragraphs 1, 2, 3).
- Provide descriptions and summaries of each study.
- Synthesized:
- Compare findings (Paragraphs 1, 2, 3).
- Synthesize ideas and present new perspectives.
Step 6: Plan Your Review
- Framework for critical analysis (similar to a mind map) using questions like "What?", "Where?", "Who?", "When?", "How?", "Why?", "What if?", and "So what?".
Step 7: Writing
- Writing process outlined as a cyclical process (notes, pre-writing, drafting, editing, revision, publication).
Additional Information
- Benefit of Research Question: What is the clinical benefit of addressing the research question?
