A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO CONDUCTING AN INTEGRATI...

This book provides guidance to readers for how to conduct an integrative review. Over the
decades  with the expansion of evidence-based practice (EBP)  the evolution of methods used in
reviews has resulted in a wide spectrum of review types. Due to the overlapping characteristics
of the various review methods  confusion exists related to terminology  descriptions and
methods of each type. To fill this gap  this book examines components necessary to conduct a
rigorous integrative review from formulating questions through dissemination of the results of
the review. Each chapter focuses on one component or step in this process and is written in a
straightforward and readable manner. An integrative review is considered by many as an actual
research study  hence it should be approached following established research methods involving
well-defined steps. The integrative review is often compared with the systematic review. Both
are used in healthcare research and follow a systematic process in reviewing literature and
developing recommendations  but there are important differences that are addressed in the book.
Evidence-based practice (EBP) demands high quality  rigorous evidence for nurse clinicians to
make informed decisions with and for their patients. In nursing education  the integrative
review is a frequent capstone project for graduate students and forms the basis for many
doctoral projects. The Integrative review process should be valid  reliable and transparent and
this book provides clear guidelines for writing an integrative review for students  educators 
clinicians  and researchers. This book is a useful addition to courses for both undergraduate
and graduate level writers of integrative reviews. In academia  a likely adoption would be in
graduate research and research methods courses  and baccalaureate honor courses.
