Meta-analytic findings can be useful to nurses seeking research results to guide practice, but graphics used by meta-analysts take time to master. Simpler displays can be created by staff development educators if they understand commonly used meta-analytic displays. For instance, simplified versions of 'forest plots', a common metaphoric display can be created to introduce staff nurses to meta-analytic findings published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and similar databases.
荟萃分析结果对于寻求研究成果以指导实践的护士可能很有用,但荟萃分析者使用的图表需要时间来掌握。如果员工发展教育者了解常用的荟萃分析图表展示方式,他们可以创建更简单的展示形式。例如,可以创建常见隐喻展示形式“森林图”的简化版本,向护士介绍发表在《Cochrane系统评价数据库》和类似数据库中的荟萃分析结果。
