Abstract
High quality literature reviews are foundational to evidence-based nursing practice, supporting clinical-decision making, quality improvement, and scholarly dissemination. This presentation introduces nurses to a structured, practical approach for conducting rigorous literature reviews using Whittemore and Knafl's integrative review methodology. Core components include developing focused questions (PICO, PICo, PEO, SPIDER, PS), executing transparent search strategies using PRISMA, constructing evidence tables for synthesis, and critically appraising studies with JBI, CASP, and Johns Hopkins tools. Participants will learn how to evaluate and compare evidence, identify practice gaps, and translate synthesized findings into actionable recommendations for clinical care, education, and policy. This session equips nurses with the knowledge to produce systematic, transparent, and clinically meaningful reviews that elevate nursing scholarship and practice.
