This document is a Literature Summary Template specifically designed for Chamberlain University’s NR585NP Phase 6 assignment within the Evidence-Based Practice (NR 449) course. It’s intended for students to systematically organize and present their research findings related to a chosen clinical topic.
This template is crucial for students completing the Week 5 Literature Summary assignment. Correct usage—following the provided structure—is a graded component, with a 10% deduction applied for non-compliance. It’s used to demonstrate a student’s ability to synthesize research and apply it to a specific patient scenario defined by a PICOT question.
This template does *not* provide the research itself, nor does it offer guidance on *finding* relevant literature. It’s a formatting tool, and assumes the student has already completed the literature review process.
The full template includes sections for: defining the PICOT question (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Timeframe), classifying and summarizing five research articles (categorized as Original Research, Synthesis, or Clinical Practice Guideline), and providing full APA-formatted references. A sample article summary, including purpose, methods, and participant details, is provided as an example.
