Dear Researcher,
I'm working on a project of the effectiveness of psycho-educational intervention for in patients with schizophrenia. According to my reading, I found little was known about the effects of psychoeducation for in patients with schizophrenia. I'm supposed to conduct the systematic review for patients ( whether are in/ outpatients). So, do you think that more specifying the target population, the more reliable and strong ( Systematic Review)? Thanks in advanced.
Systematic reviews of randomized trials offer the highest level of evidence.The strongest inferences can be drawn if the systematic review is well conducted and includes methodologically sound RCTs with consistent results. In making treatment decisions, the highest quality of evidence should be sought, but well-conducted systematic reviews may not always be available.
Please find the attached file herewith, it will help you.
Thank you Dear Mr. Shahnawaz Mushtaq , i will take it into my consideration.
In my opinion, inclusion criteria is crucial in writing a systematic review. Most often it has been found that in order to support your way of inference; lets take your inference in this case psycho education has been found less effective with patients suffering from schizophrenia, so need to find studies which are corroborating or having different findings. There may be the cases where psycho education only augments with pharmacotherapy. So, depending on the studies, we confidently or subsequently changes our inclusion or exclusion criteria and reach our conclusion.
