HOW TO CONDUCT A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW IN HEALTH SCIENCES: A PRACTICAL GUIDE

Abstract

Systematic review studies synthesize and collate the results of all existing studies in a particular field, providing a comprehensive analysis of the results, strengths and weaknesses of these studies. Systematic review aims to identify the studies related to the research question, to select the appropriate ones for the research question among the identified studies, and to analyse the data of these selected studies. Especially due to the abundance of literature in the field of medicine and health sciences and the limited time of researchers, systematic reviews are important studies that combine the comprehensive results of the existing literature. Systematic review study is of great benefit to busy healthcare professionals trying to ensure best and safe practice for patients. This study provides a practical guide on how to conduct systematic review in both health sciences and other disciplines.

SAĞLIK BİLİMLERİNDE SİSTEMATİK DERLEME NASIL YAPILIR: PRATİK BİR REHBER

Abstract

Sistematik derleme çalışmaları, belirli bir alandaki mevcut tüm çalışmaların sonuçlarını sentezleyip harmanlayarak, bu çalışmaların sonuçlarının, güçlü ve zayıf yönlerinin kapsamlı bir analizini sağlar. Sistematik derleme, araştırma sorusu ile ilgili araştırmaları tespit etmeyi, tespit edilen araştırmalar arasından araştırma sorusuna uygun olanları seçmeyi ve seçilen bu araştırmaların verilerini analiz etmeyi amaçlar. Özellikle tıp ve sağlık bilimleri alanındaki literatürün fazlalığı ve araştırmacıların zamanının kısıtlılığı nedeniyle, sistematik derlemeler mevcut literatürün kapsamlı sonuçlarını birleştiren önemli çalışmalardır. Sistematik derleme çalışması, hastalar için en iyi ve güvenli uygulamayı sağlamaya çalışırken yoğun çalışan sağlık profesyonelleri için büyük yarar sağlar. Bu çalışma hem sağlık bilimlerinde hem de diğer bilim dallarında sistematik derlemenin nasıl yapılması gerektiği ile ilgili pratik bir rehber sunmaktadır.
