NURS FPX 9902 Assessment 2 Literature Search Organization of Literature According to the Main Themes

Organization of Literature According to the Main Themes

The selection of five main themes—Telehealth and Telemedicine in COPD Management, Digital Tools and COPD Management, COPD Self-Management and Rehabilitation, Personalized Medicine and COPD, and Readmission Rates and Healthcare Disparities in COPD—provides a structured approach to organizing the evidence and literature from the 20 selected articles. Categorizing articles into these themes facilitates the identification of commonalities and differences in research questions, methodologies, and findings across studies. Analyzing the evidence based on these themes aids in identifying trends, emerging interventions, and potential areas for future research in COPD management (Janjua et al., 2021).

Conclusion

Conducting a comprehensive literature search using a well-defined strategy is vital for addressing the PICOT question focused on the impact of nutritional and telehealth interventions on lung functioning and readmission rates in COPD patients within 2 to 3 months. By employing the suggested search terms, utilizing relevant databases, and conducting hand searches, researchers can ensure a thorough exploration of the available evidence. A comprehensive literature search enables evidence-based decision-making and improves COPD management and patient outcomes.
