Introduction
Systematic reviews are basically a literature review that is comprehensive and
straightforward. The SLR uses search techniques to make sure the maximum magnitude of
relevant studies has been taken into account. Original papers are evaluated and synthesized
methodologically using strict criteria for identifying, evaluating and synthesizing all work on a
subject (Ryan, 2010).
Appraising the literature
While appraising the literature, I based on three primary questions: (A) Are the results of
the analysis valid? (B) What was the study's outcome? (C) The findings will allow me to take
care of my patients? "The answers to those questions ensure the relevance and applicability of
the evidence from the search to the particular population for whom the clinician provides care"
(p. 120), according to Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt (2005).
Usually, findings are less biased than narrative analyses because of the strict analytical
methodology and guidelines adopted. This system, however, was not without its criticisms. First,
these criticisms are illustrated.
A study carried by out by Muralidharan and Fenton, (2006) on containment strategies for
people with serious mental illness indicated that a high form of proof is a systematic review. The
findings help medical experts to come to terms with the best form of treatment. This work can be
used by medical professionals in the implementation of different strategies used during times of
psychological distress to handle severely sick individuals. The articles produced from the search,
however, were limited and would therefore yield results that were not comprehensive.
