The use of systematic reviews for clinical research is associated with some strengths. One of them is the specificity nature of the results in systematic reviews. Researchers adopt comprehensive methods of data collection and analysis, which increases the relevance and applicability of findings in clinical settings. The other strength is the reliability and accuracy of results. The review of different studies such as randomized controlled trials produce highly accurate and reliable results, which can be translated into clinical practice. Systematic reviews are also comprehensive and exhaustive. They analyze topics in healthcare in great detail, which helps healthcare providers to identify potential bias in findings and their application to practice. The adopted methods in systematic reviews can also be replicated in nursing practice. Therefore, the results contained in systematic reviews have immense impact on nursing practice.
