Literature Review

While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone project change proposal, the literature review enables students to map out and move into the active planning and development stages of the project.

A literature review analyzes how current research supports the PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in the evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT Question Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop a 750-1,000 word review that includes the following sections:

1. Title page

2. Introduction section

3. A comparison of research questions

4. A comparison of sample populations

5. A comparison of the limitations of the study

6. A conclusion section, incorporating recommendations for further research

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Review of the Literature

The literature review allows students to map out and move into the active planning and development stages of the project, while the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone project change proposal.

A literature review examines how current research supports the PICOT and determines what is known and unknown about the evidence. Students will write a 750-1,000 word review that includes the following sections, based on the information from the previous PICOT Question Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments:

1. Page of the title

Section 2: Introduction

3. A study of research questions that are similar.

4. A comparison of population samples

5. A comparison of the study’s limitations
