    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Research
    • Information Science

    Background:

    • Traditional literature reviews in nursing research are often non-systematic and time-consuming.
    • Existing methods may not meet the rigorous demands of scientific inquiry.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define the nature and purpose of literature reviews in nursing research.
    • To critique the standard method of literature review construction.
    • To introduce and advocate for a systematic literature review method based on Network Theory.

    Main Methods:

    • Critique of the conventional literature review process.
    • Adaptation of Hesse's Network Theory by Ryan for systematic reviews.
    • Demonstration of the benefits of the proposed Network method.

    Main Results:

    • The standard literature review method is identified as inefficient and non-systematic.
    • A practical, systematic literature review method derived from Network Theory is presented.
    • The Network method is shown to be beneficial for producing adequate reviews.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed Network method offers a more systematic and efficient alternative to traditional literature reviews in nursing.
    • Adherence to defined criteria for adequate reviews is crucial.
    • The Network method is essential for meeting the criteria of high-quality literature reviews in nursing research.
