The complexity of nursing requires comprehensive tools for evidence appraisal and synthesis, capable of taking into account the several factors driving out-comes, resource use, and patient well-being. Umbrella reviews, overviews of reviews, and meta-epidemiologic studies offer a unique opportunity to capture and navigate such complexity, without disregarding the multiple evidence sources informing on nursing. In this chapter, we present a set of key umbrella reviews on nursing which offer a poignant case study on the pros and cons of this type of research design in this clinical and research discipline

Abstract
The complexity of nursing requires comprehensive tools for evidence appraisal and synthesis, capable of taking into account the several factors driving out-comes, resource use, and patient well-being. Umbrella reviews, overviews of reviews, and meta-epidemiologic studies offer a unique opportunity to capture and navigate such complexity, without disregarding the multiple evidence sources informing on nursing. In this chapter, we present a set of key umbrella reviews on nursing which offer a poignant case study on the pros and cons of this type of research design in this clinical and research disciplineI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
