A literature review is a critical component of research as it allows a researcher to obtain the current evidence regarding the issue of focus and, at the same time, identify gaps that can then form the basis of future research (Hickman et al.,2018). In nursing research, such gaps are key to formulating new research approaches and processes, which can then be used to improve patient outcomes related to the identified clinical issue. During the literature review for the evaluation plan and different types of evidence for the project, various gaps were encountered worth mentioning and exploring. One of the gaps found in the literature is the lack of a sufficient number of studies where the use of automated fall detectors led to a statistically significant improvement in the rates of falls. From the literature reviewed, it was noted that even though studies showed the clinical significance of the use of automated fall detectors in preventing patient falls, most of such results are not statistically significant (Tanwar et al.,2022). Such an observation has a substantial influence on other researchers. For example, when the findings are not statistically significant, using such an intervention as a guideline, evidence-based practice, or a gold standard for that particular issue is difficult. The other gap that was identified was the non-homogeneity of the study designs used. The study designs applied in the use of automated fall detectors largely varied from study to study. For instance, different studies focused on a varied number of participants which makes it difficult to draw comparisons (Singh et al.,2020). The designs used were also largely varied, ranging from experimental to non-experimental studies, which also pauses a challenge when drawing comparisons. As such, the gap can influence researchers to come up with guidelines that can be used to promote homogeneity of research in a particular issue to help arrive at comparable and more valid findings.
