Week 5 – Assignment 1
Discussion
This week the discussion focuses on creating a Synthesis
Table(s) as a means to summarize and organize the body of evidence from the
Evaluation Table. The Synthesis tables will be included in your formal proposal
in the Appendix. In the body of the paper, you will describe the “keeper”
studies in narrative format.
For this discussion, include the following:
Share your approach to synthesizing the evidence. What were
the variables of interest you identified?
Learning to write in a scholarly fashion requires that you
are able to succinctly summarize an article in a sentence or two and cite it
appropriately using APA format. In this discussion, practice summarizing 2
articles you have identified from the Synthesis Table as pertinent to your
proposal. Include the level of evidence, study design, and evidence of rigor.
Use appropriate APA citation in text and references. Incorporate feedback from
peers and faculty in your Dropbox assignment for this week.
In addition to research studies, patient preference and
clinical expertise should also be considered. Discuss how you will incorporate
these important perspectives into your project proposal.
