Strategy of data analysis and the critical evaluation

Marote et al. (2012)

Portugal

a total of 21 documents localized were submitted to critical evaluation for timeframe of 1993–2010

To undertake an integrative review of studies relating to children as carers, and to identify the role performed by nurses along with these children

Literature reviews were carried out at two points during the process of collection of information in 2010

The analysis of the primary studies’ quality considered the date and the structure of publication, regarding the study objectives, the methodology, the results and the conclu-sions obtained in each one. To this end a spreadsheet was created, using Microsoft Excel 2007, with the extraction of information and its inputting on the spreadsheet being undertaken by two independent evaluators.
