The following is an outline of what your paper should look like:
•Introduction
•Identify the problem and the question by using the PICO structure
•Briefly outline your search strategy
•Now using an appraisal tool (you can use the one we have used in the unit) appraise each article
•Do not separate them out and appraise each one on their own.
•As you go through the points on the appraisal tool apply it to each article so you can compare and contrast the information.
•This is where you can bring in other references to support your points within the review (or maybe they don’t give support)
•Make a recommendation in relation to the question the authors of the article have made.
•Finish the assignment with a Conclusion
•Ensure as you do the essay that you are not only looking at what you are asked to do but you are simultaneously looking at the marking criteria to ensure you cover all the areas.
