So my essay requires me to critically appraise published evidence to suggest effective strategies for family support in the context of a brain injury.. because it is thought that family support means that the longer term outcomes for someone with a brain injury are better.
I've found research studies, I've critically appraised them and now I'm at the part where I bring it all together to suggest effective strategies [based on the research].
I also work for an organisation who provide services for people with brain injuries, and we've recently been looking into developing programmes that will support families.
The strategies that I found in my research are essentially the strategies that we are planning to use.. So I wondered if I could add something in the discussion of my essay - were I essentially speak about what we are planning to do, and how the research backs that up.
Thing is though, the question specifically asks for strategies based on published evidence and while the strategies that we will use are based on published evidence, there isn't any evidence to suggest that.. specifically, our strategies will be effective.
It's quite a dangerous territory, because it'll mean I'm going beyond what the essay is asking for but at the same time, I'm also moving away from the question.
It's about wanting to add something unique to really push my mark up, but I'm not sure if it'll bring it down because I'm not doing exactly what the question is asking.
Thoughts?
