To implement PRISMA in nursing research, follow these steps:
Plan: Start by clearly defining the research question and objectives. Search: Develop a comprehensive search strategy to identify relevant studies. Use multiple databases and include both published and unpublished studies. Screen: Screen the identified studies for eligibility based on predefined criteria. Extract: Extract relevant data from the included studies using standardized forms. Analyze: Conduct a meta-analysis if appropriate, and assess the risk of bias in the included studies. Report: Use the PRISMA checklist and flow diagram to write the review report.
