For the following research question: In communities with high rates of opioid addiction (P), does the establishment of supervised injection sites (I) compared to the absence of such facilities (C) lead to a reduction in fatal and non-fatal opioid overdose cases (O)? How can I use these research articles to write
- An introduction which includes (opening statement, thesis statement, summary of paper)
- A one-page appendix with a Prisma literature search graphic depicting the search process and results, not sure how to do a Prisma at all.
- A concisely worded descriptive synthesis of the evidence regarding the topic of inquiry and a discussion of the implications for nursing practice, education, and research. (Synthesis will vary widely based on individual articles but should include the following elements; discussion/comparison of the study methods and populations. Commentary on the quality of the studies. Study findings are aggregated, discussed, compared/contrasted as appropriate. The answer to the PICOT question or an exploration of why there isn't a clear answer. The implications for nursing practice, education, and research).
- A conclusion including a concisely worded summation about the state of the evidence you have reviewed. (Thesis statement is reiterated, summary of paper, and closing statement).
