The purpose of this assignment is to practice and develop your skills of defining concepts, searching for published literature and reviewing both information and evidence literature from both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies to respond to a review question. This literature review will support your preparation for planning a health humanities learning activity (assignment 2) that is evidence informed.
Step 1. Choose one of the Humanities disciplines of interest to you and a topic in Health Professions Education that you are interested in planning a learning activity for. You may also include one of the health humanities teaching strategies or education theories touched on during the workshops.
some examples are:
Humanities discipline Topic Teaching strategy/Education theory
History (Medical, Art) Developing empathy/compassion in health professions
Transformational learning theory
Philosophy (inc Ethics) Ethical decision making in health professions
Problem based/case based discussions
Literature (inc Narrative) Person Centred Care
Narrative Medicine
Visual Arts/Music Social Accountability
Object Based Learning
A.
Step 2. Develop a Concept Plan for your Literature Search (see the Literature Review Folder with links to the UWA library and video resources for how to do this). The Concept Planner is attached above
Step 3. Conduct your literature search for your chosen topic.
Refer to the resources in the folder below on conducting a literature search and literature review provided by the medical library.
There is an example Search Strategy for a different topic on the experience of parents how have a child with a disability. Conduct your own search of the literature on your chosen topic. This can include a search of the peer reviewed evidence both qualitative and quantitative and the grey literature. If you need help please contact or visit the library. Please keep a record of the search strategy you use (and your concept table) and the search results to submit as part of your assignment.
Step 4. Refine the topic to produce a REVIEW question that your literature review will provide an answer for and identify the resources that may help you to about your chosen topic.
Choose between 8 and 15 resources from those identified in your own literature search. This group of resources will be your references for the literature review.
Step 5. Write the literature review to produce your response to the review question you chose.
Maximum of 2000 words.
A literature review may consist of simply a summary of key sources, but in health professions education, a literature review usually has an organizational pattern and combines both summary and synthesis, often within specific conceptual categories.
A summary is a recap of the important information of the source, but a synthesis is a re-organization, or a reshuffling, of that information in a way that informs how you are planning to respond to the review question.
The analytical features of a literature review might:
Give a new interpretation of old material or combine new with old interpretations,
Trace the intellectual progression of the field, including major debates,
Depending on the situation, evaluate the sources and advise the reader on the most pertinent or relevant research, or
Usually in the conclusion of a literature review, identify where gaps exist in how a problem has been researched to date.
The purpose of a literature review is to:
Place each work in the context of its contribution to understanding the research problem being studied. (For you this is how to plan for a learning activity)
Describe the relationship of each work to the others under consideration.
Identify new ways to interpret prior research.
Reveal any gaps that exist in the literature.
Resolve conflicts amongst seemingly contradictory previous studies.
Identify areas of prior scholarship to prevent duplication of effort.
Point the way in fulfilling a need for additional research.
Locate your own research within the context of existing literature [very important].
