Literature Synthesis for Proposed Intervention

Assessment Description

The purpose of this assignment is for learners to synthesize the literature from the “Literature Evaluation Table – DPI Intervention” into a written paper.

The literature synthesis from this assignment will be used as support for your DPI Project. Be prepared to review and incorporate instructor feedback from this assignment.

General Requirements

· Refer to the “Literature Evaluation Table – DPI Intervention” completed in Topic 4 to complete this assignment.

· Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments.

· You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite to check for similarity score.

Directions

Refer to the 15 research articles from your “Literature Evaluation Table – DPI Intervention” in Topic 4 to complete this assignment. Be sure to make any required changes or revisions prior to completing this assignment.

Write a 2,000-2,500-word syntheses of articles. Do not copy/paste the abstract. A synthesis is an integrative summary, in your own words, of the articles, their findings and a justification for how they support your intervention.

Include the following:

1. Introduction – Describe the clinical issue or problem you are addressing. Present your problem statement.

2. Search methods – Describe search strategy and the criteria you used to find and select the articles that support your intervention (e.g., data bases, limitations of the search, full text, peer-reviewed, English language).

3. Synthesis of the literature – For each research article, write a paragraph discussing the main components (subjects, methods, key findings) and provide rationale for how the article supports your intervention.

4. Comparison of articles – Compare the articles (similarities and differences, common themes, methods, conclusions, limitations, controversies).

5. Recommendations for future research: Based on your analysis of the literature, discuss identified gaps and which areas require further research. Describe how the gaps would impact your intervention and what specific research would be needed in this context.

6. Conclusion – Provide a summary statement of what you found in the literature.
