The lived experience of anorexia nervosa in adolescence, comparison of parents’ view of adolescence, parents and professionals: a meta-synthesis. Int J Nurs Stud. 2017;65:25–34. This is a mapping review, that aims to determine the range of research and other evidence that is available on a topic. A scoping review does not typically include appraisal or analysis [ 16]. or post analysis, and when or if the data was amalgamated. Implications for research/practice: There is a clear need for evidence-based guidance on the reporting of translation, transcription and analysis of focus group data from countries with linguistic difficulties. AND narrows the results of the search by ensuring that all the search terms are present in the results.

Reliance on secondary sources, rather than reference to original texts, leading to misunderstandings about some forms of review Bettany-Saltikov J. How to do a systematic literature review in nursing: a step-by-step guide. Maidenhead: Open University Press; 2012.

It takes into account the ongoing care provision and the relationship that exists between the nurse and patient. However implied consent should not be assumed. Nurses need to ensure that information is given not only to inform the patient about a procedure but to enable the patient to give his or her consent and to find an alternative way forward if the patient withholds their consent.

A brief summary of Study Types is provided by University Library, Georgia State University (2022). Aveyard (2019b) and Muir Gray (2009, pp. 125-180) cover these in more detail, including their purpose and suitability for use in research. Greenhalgh (2019) looks at assessing methodological quality of different study types, with practical exercises.

Int J Nurs Stud. 2017;69:9–24. Nurses need to be familiar with the relevant ethical and legal principles and professional guidance in their own countries for caring for people who cannot consent, and need to be confident in their understanding and application of these principles to ensure that sedation is administered appropriately.

Over the past two decades there has been a proliferation of review types, with corresponding explosion of terms used to describe them. A review of evidence synthesis methodologies by Grant and Booth in 2009 [ 20] identified 14 different approaches to reviewing the literature and similarly, Booth and colleagues [ 21] detailed 19 different review types, highlighting the range of review types currently available. We might consider this the ‘proliferation era’. This is however, somewhat a double-edged sword, because although researchers now have far more review methods at their disposal, there is risk of confusion in the field. As Sabatino and colleagues (2014) [ 22] have argued, review methods are not always consistently applied by researchers. Sabatino L, Stievano A, Rocco G, Kallio H, Pietila A, KAngasniemi M. The dignity of the nursing profession: a meta-synthesis of qualitative research. Nurs Ethics. 2014;2(6):659–72. This is the book for anyone who has ever wondered what evidence based practice is or how to relate it to practice. Fully updated in this brand new edition, this book is simple and easy to understand - and designed to help those new to the topic to apply the concept to their practice and learning with ease. To explore how nurses' use of electronic health records impacts on the quality of nurse–patient interactions and communication.

Conclusion. There is no evidence that participation in research harms those who have recently been bereaved, but there is evidence of benefits from participating.
