Synthesis of Findings Synthesis is the combination

Synthesis of Findings Synthesis is the combination of two or more things. In the case of Evidence-Based Practice, synthesis involves combining the ideas or results from two or more articles or sources in a way that is relatable to clinical practice. Synthesis of findings from various sources is essential to have a cohesive conclusion about the evidence you have appraised. When combining the ideas or results, it is important to focus on: The strength of the evidence in terms of: Quantity: In our case, 2 articles Quality: We’ve done our critical appraisals and can speak to the quality of each article Consistency of results between the articles The applicability of the evidence to the clinical topic at hand ———————————————————————————————————————————————– Assignment Objective: Organize key components of critical appraisals Synthesize research findings from the assigned and appraised clinical practice guideline and randomized controlled trial. Use the information that you developed in the prior assignments to support your statements in completing this assignment. Instructions: Access the topical bundle, including each of the articles and your critical appraisals of each. Download and complete Synthesis Worksheet. Synthesis Worksheet_FS22.docx Download Synthesis Worksheet_FS22.docx Follow the instructions in the worksheet and in the rubric. As always, reach out to your faculty member with questions. ———————————————————————————————————————————————– You are a nurse practitioner that cares for clients across the lifespan in the sunny state of Florida. Caroline is a post-menopausal 66 year-old Black woman whose screening bone density scan returned with an indication of low bone mass, or osteopenia. Her Vitamin D level is slightly low at 27 ng/mL. She has not had any fractures, and nobody in her family has a history of osteoporosis. You know that adequate calcium and vitamin D intake are important for bone density. The is will Vitamin D supplementation help Caroline increase her bone density, thereby reducing the risk of osteoporotic fracture? The following helps to frame your search: PICO: In elderly Black women with low bone density and low Vitamin D levels, how does Vitamin D supplementation vs. no supplementation impact bone mineral density? Synthesis of Findings Student Name Course Faculty Term Directions this is the worksheet, do in its entirety, beginning with the table, and finishing with the references on the last page. PICO : (The assigned PICO from faculty) Synthesis Table Refer to the Faculty Summary Critical Appraisals, and your own critical appraisals. Complete this Table including pertinent information for each article that we reviewed as a part of your faculty member’s topical bundle. Clinical Practice Guideline (1st Author, year) Randomized Controlled Trial (1st Author, year) Research / Objective Study Population Setting/ Organization: Who developed the guideline? Where was the RCT conducted? Key Results (summarize key results such as statistics or recommendations related to the study’s research /aim) Which Appraisal Tool was used? Appraisal Strengths: List 3 methodological strengths based upon concepts from the CADTH or CASP tool. Include page number. Appraisal Weaknesses: List 3 sources of bias or methodological weakness based upon concepts from the CADTH or CASP tool. Include page number. Key Recommendations/ Results: RELATED to the faculty PICO. State the recommendation/ result here and include the page number, and strength of recommendation (for cpg) or statistic (for rct). Synthesis Pull It Together: Look at the colored cells from the table. Synthesize these two sources to yield an answer to the clinical PICO . Think about whether the answers are similar or different. Be succinct. Complete the paragraph below with appropriate answers and information. Ensure graduate level writing by including transitions and removing long run-on sentences. “The PICO “(state faculty PICO )” encouraged a brief search of the literature. The critical appraisal of a Clinical Practice Guideline (citation) developed by (organization), had methodological strengths of (list 3), and limitations of (list3). The Randomized Controlled Trial (citation) set in (location) had methodological strengths of (list 3), and limitations of (list 3). Based on these two critical appraisals, there is (sufficient/insufficient) evidence to recommend (intervention) for (population) to impact (outcome). (state caveats related to risk/benefit ratio, limited literature search, patient preferences, etc) This is a very limited search of the literature, and individual client needs need to be taken into consideration.” References: Please include your APA reference list here.
