Purpose of a Literature Review
theoretical and scientific knowledge
what is known and unknown about the topic (gaps in the literature)
available evidence for practice
contribution of present study to knowledge base
What is the purpose of a lit review in quantitative studies
direct the development and implementation of a study, cite relevant and current sources, document background and significance of study, identify theoretical ideas to guide a story
What is the purpose of a lit review in qualitative studies
Compare and combine study findings with literature
To explain, support, and extend research theory
As
a background for research
As a way to formulate research questions
As a source of data
Theoretical Literature
includes concept analyses, models, theories and conceptual frameworks that support a selected research problem and purpose
Descriptive studies
primarily concerned with research in new areas of interest
Dissertations
doctoral research studies
Empirical Literature
published studies, includes a description of the current knowledge of a practice problem, the gaps in this knowledge base
Typical Sources included in a lit review
Periodicals and
journals
Internet publications
Monographs
Encyclopedias (Not good)
Conference papers
Theses and dissertations
Books and textbooks
Primary Sources
In research, written by the person(s) who conducted the research
In theory, written by the theorist(s) who developed the theory
Secondary sources
Paraphrase the works of researchers and theorists
What is important when critically appraising literature reviews
Are primary sources cited in the review?
Are the references current?
Are relevant studies identified and described?
Are relevant theories identified and described?
Are relevant landmark studies described?
Are the studies critiqued?
Are sources paraphrased to promote the flow of content?
Is
the current knowledge about the research problem described?
Does it identify gap(s) in the knowledge base that provides a basis for study?
Is it clearly organized, logically developed, and concise?
Components included in the lit review
What is known and not known about the topic
The focus of the study
Sources must be current—published within the past 5 years
Landmark studies may be included if
essential to the background of the problem
What sources are suitable for a lit review
Academic libraries ie UD
Online search via UD library databases (CINAHL or Medline)
Special libraries—hospitals, Sigma Theta Tau Center for Nursing Scholarship
Interlibrary loan
Public libraries
Databases suitable for nursing and allied health reviews
*CINAHL*
*Medline*
*Cochrane*
OVID
EBSCO host
GALE Cengage
Cambridge Scientific
What is the primary purpose for reviewing relevant literature
Delineate the existing knowledge base of an identified problem
How are keywords defined
Major concepts or variables of a
research problem or topic used to search a database
May be single terms or phrases
Most databases have a thesaurus that can be used to identify keywords.
Each keyword used should be listed in a written search plan.
How can the nurse researcher limit the source
english language, publication dates to recent years, papers that are research, full text articles, peer-reviewed publications
What to include in the synthesis of sources
Compile findings from all selected studies
Analyze and interpret clustered findings
Specify current state of research-based knowledge
What are the steps in writing a review of literature
Purposes, outline
Purposes
Document current knowledge of selected topic, indicate findings ready for use in practice
Outline
introduction, empirical literature, summary
What is included in the Introduction
Indicates focus or purpose of review, describes organization of sources, indicates basis for ordering- most important to eat, earliest to most recent, categories
What is included in the data-based literature
Includes quality studies relevant to topic
For each study, purpose, sample, sample size, design, and specific findings are presented, using paraphrasing rather than direct quotes.
Scholarly, but brief, critique of study's strengths and weaknesses
What is included in the summary section
Concise presentation of research knowledge about selected topic—what is known and not known
Judgment stating whether there is adequate knowledge to direct change in clinical practice
Brief statement of proposed change in practice

In a home furnace humidification system, water droplets of diameter D are discharged in a direction opposing the motion of warm air emerging from the heater. The air is humidified by evaporation from the droplets, and the excess water is collected on a splash plate, from which it is routed to a drain. Consider conditions for which air enters the heater at a temperature and relative humidity of $17^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and 70%, respectively, and leaves the heater at a temperature of $47^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The droplet diameter is 1 mm, and the relative velocity between the droplets and the heated air is 15 m/s. During the time-of-flight, the change in droplet diameter may be neglected and the droplet temperature may be assumed to remain at $47^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. What is the rate of evaporation from a single droplet?

Hot combustion gases enter the nozzle of a turbojet engine at 260 kPa, 747$^\circ{}$C, and 80 m/s, and they exit at a pressure of 85 kPa. Assuming an isentropic efficiency of 92 percent and treating the combustion gases as air, determine (a) the exit velocity and (b) the exit temperature. Answers: (a) 728 m/s, (b) 786 K
