Develop inclusion criteria to help guide your review of articles for inclusion. (You may also have exclusion criteria. If you do, exclusions should NOT be the exact opposite of inclusions, for instance, if your inclusion for population is pediatrics, your exclusion is not “adults” or “not pediatrics” but rather it may be something like you will exclude pediatric patients in outpatient settings, but if your inclusion is patient pediatric patients it is understood that you will exclude outpatient pediatric patients. However, for instance, if your population is adolescents, it may make sense to clarify that you would exclude adolescents who are institutionalized.)
The task for this assignment is to develop the inclusion criteria for your systematic review.
Rubic
There is a clear inclusion (and/or exclusion) criteria for one or more of the following: participants, studies, intervention, and outcome (only if appropriate though). The exclusion is not merely the opposite of the inclusion. The inclusion criteria are displayed in a table with two columns, one labeled Inclusion and one labeled Exclusion; there should be a row for participants, studies, intervention, and outcome (only if appropriate though). The text in the table is well-written and free from grammatical and spelling errors.
This is the TOPIC
The objective of this review is to evaluate whether the quality of palliative care (i.e., timely management of symptoms, quality of life, and overall satisfaction of care) provided to adult patients with cancer improves after completion of the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS). Development of an internal flow sheet for our team (and maybe outside providers) to describe the different disciplines and when someone gets referred where.
Inclusion Criteria:
Inclusion Exclusion
Participants Participants under the age of 18
Studies Studies that focus on populations other than adult patients with cancer
Intervention Studies that do not use the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS)
Outcome Studies that do not measure the quality of palliative care or its impact on symptom management, quality of life, or patient satisfaction
Note: This review will focus on adult patients with cancer who have received palliative care that includes the use of the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS). Only studies that measure the impact of this intervention on the quality of palliative care and its effects on symptom management, quality of life, and patient satisfaction will be included in the review. Adolescent patients and studies focusing on populations other than adult patients with cancer will be excluded.
