Purpose of form
Use this form to compile the results of the individual evidence appraisal to answer the EBP question. The pertinent findings for each level of evidence are synthesized, and a quality rating is assigned to each level. Hire writer now!
Total number of sources per level
Record the number of sources of evidence for each level.
Overall quality rating
Summarize the overall quality of evidence for each level. Use Appendix D to rate the quality of evidence.
Synthesis of findings: evidence that answers the EBP question
Include only findings from evidence of A or B quality.
Include only statements that directly answer the EBP question.
Summarize findings within each level of evidence.
Record article number(s) from individual evidence summary in parentheses next to each statement so that the source of the finding is easy to identify.
Develop recommendations based on evidence synthesis and the selected translation pathway
Review the synthesis of findings and determine which of the following four pathways to translation represents the overall strength of the evidence:
Strong, compelling evidence, consistent results: Solid indication for a practice change.
Good and consistent evidence: Consider pilot of change or further investigation.
Good but conflicting evidence: No indication for practice change; consider further investigation for new evidence or develop a research study.
Little or no evidence: No indication for practice change; consider further investigation for new evidence, develop a research study, or discontinue the project.
