Quality of Systematic Reviews in the Nursing Literature.
PI: Dr. Kathleen Stevens.
Funded by the Delta Alpha At-Large Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International, ACE’s first
research project in its program of translational research examined the quality of Systematic
Reviews - as indexed by CINAHL - in the Nursing literature. For this pilot study, critical
appraisal of 10 randomly-selected articles was done using the Overview Quality Assessment
Questionnaire (OQAQ) (Oxman, A. D., & Guyatt, G. H., 1991). The study pointed to the need
for rigor in systematic reviews and caution in labeling non-systematic reviews.
