In order to become knowledgeable consumers of nursing research, nursing students must be able to critically read research and determine the study's value for nursing practice. As the number of nursing intervention studies rises and research topics are studied more extensively, the use of meta-analysis in the discipline of nursing will also increase. The same scientific rigor demanded of other types of research must be applied to meta-analysis. In this article two teaching strategies using meta-analysis are shared for sharpening both undergraduate and graduate nursing students' critiquing skills. On the undergraduate level, nursing students can assess the quality of the studies included in a particular meta-analysis. On the graduate level, students can use an appraisal checklist of criteria for evaluating the actual meta-analysis.
为了成为护理研究知识渊博的消费者,护理专业学生必须能够批判性地阅读研究内容,并确定该研究对护理实践的价值。随着护理干预研究数量的增加以及研究主题得到更广泛的探讨,荟萃分析在护理学科中的应用也会增多。其他类型研究所需的同样科学严谨性也必须应用于荟萃分析。本文分享了两种使用荟萃分析的教学策略,以提高本科和研究生护理专业学生的批判性分析技能。在本科阶段,护理专业学生可以评估特定荟萃分析中所纳入研究的质量。在研究生阶段,学生可以使用一份评估标准清单来评价实际的荟萃分析。
