B. Review Article or Systematic Review of the Literature. Synthesis of published literature related to a problem or issue relevant to the clinical practice of WOC nurses and which leads to questions for further research.
- Page 1: Title page (see example under Guidelines for Manuscripts)
- Page 2: Abstract
Write a 1-paragraph abstract (not a structured abstract) briefly introducing your topic. Summarize the most relevant points readers will gain by reading this article.
- Pages 3 to X: Introduction, Subsequent Sections, Summary
- Introduction: Present the broad scope of the problem addressed in your review. Include databases searched, dates, search terms, and inclusion/exclusion criteria for review articles.
- Subsequent Sections: Additional subheads. Note the descending subheadings for the body of the manuscript. The review article must comprise your synthesis of pertinent literature; direct quotations from other authors should be minimized.
- Summary/Conclusion: Summarize the 2 to 3 most important points/gaps in current knowledge and conclude with questions for further research.
C. Challenges in Practice. Unusual, novel, or complex cases encountered when managing patients with chronic wounds, ostomies, or continence problems, introduced by a short (1-page) review of the literature addressing current evidence and followed by commentary/discussion by the author and invited commentators selected by the Section Editor. Authors will have the opportunity to respond to commentators if they wish.
- Page 1: Title page (see previous example)
- Page 2: Abstract梂rite a 1-paragraph unstructured abstract including a 1- to 2-sentence description of the case(s) and setting.
- Introduction桞riefly review pertinent literature concerning the disease, disorder, or problem(s) faced by the patient, family, community, or institution. State the purpose of your case study and its significance to WOC nursing practice.
- Case History桪escribe the patient's gender and age, race or cultural heritage, and other pertinent characteristics in a manner that does not allow identification of the specific person. Provide a detailed description of the client's management in chronologic order, including multiple relevant outcomes based on the WOC services provided. Figures that add to the case description, such as serial photographs, are strongly encouraged (eg, healing wound). Ensure that there is no patient or product identity.
- Discussion桼eview pertinent literature regarding the interventions used. Focus on the treatments or interventions used to manage the disorder rather than the problem itself. Avoid overstating conclusions concerning efficacy of specific treatments.
- Summary桽ummarize the most salient points of this case in a single paragraph.
- Commentary桟ase studies will have 1 or 2 expert commentaries, and authors of the case study will have the opportunity to respond to the commentators.
