Literature reviews ¿ that is the locating and appraising of relevant research ¿ are a common tool underpinning evidence-based practice in nursing. This challenging book unpicks the thinking behind them, arguing that the approach is beset with significant problems that are seldom recognised. Positing that nurses often ask `unanswerable¿ questions ¿ whether they are metaphysical, ethical, or sociological ¿ and identifying difficulties that both quantitative and qualitative research pose for nurses, the book explores exactly why literature reviews are so much trickier than they appear before outlining a possible way forward. It is an important contribution to the EBP debate.
