Week 5 Theoretical or Conceptual Framework

This week, review your literature and look for gaps of knowledge in your topic. What is missing? What questions do you still have that you can potentially solve in your research? Compose a 2- to 3-page paper that outlines the framework for your research project.

Address the following:

Explain the problem and briefly summarize the research you have completed in your literature review.

Define any gaps or relationships that are apparent and how you will address them in your project. Be sure to reference back to your research questions and problems to ensure that the gaps correlate with your problem and questions.

Demonstrate that the solution you propose is not based on your personal opinions or guesses, but are formed from the facts that you have read from the authors of the previous research.

You may find that you are adding onto your references and your literature review based on new investigation and that is okay!

Explain your perspective and reference any nursing or informatics theoretical underpinnings if it supports your framework.

Question 2

Week 4 Integrative Literature Review

Write a literature review of your topic using peer-reviewed articles and books, as well as non-research literature such as evidence-based guidelines, toolkits, and standardized procedures. Identify and cite all sources of data according to APA guidelines.

In at least 5 pages:

Critique the most current research to support your problem; this research will help drive the focus of your project.

Summarize the key findings of the research and it’s relevancy to your project.

Describe any gaps in knowledge that you found and the effects this may have on health informatics as it relates to your project topic. The literature review should be a synthesis of how each article or study relates to your project.

When writing your literature review, remember to include subtopics to your main topic and gather data on these areas as well.

Your integrative literature review should be at least 5 pages in length, not including the cover or reference pages, and must contain a minimum of 10 scholarly articles published within the past 5–7 years.

This literature is considered a draft and will need to be revised for integration into your final paper. Please make sure to review your instructor’s feedback.
