Abstract
This literature review, completed under the guidance of Ms. Anuja Sarode-Paciorek from Summa Health - Akron, will investigate the effects of social support on the recovery outcomes of hip fracture patients. As part of this literature review, I will collect and analyze several scientific journal articles previously published on this topic to gain an overview of what prior knowledge clinical researchers have already gathered about this topic. As part of the analyses, each article will be thoroughly read and briefly summarized. Then, these summaries will be used to compile a list of a few strengths and a list of a few weaknesses regarding the content of each article. Afterwards, I will decide on the most significant strength and most significant weakness for each article and provide additional justifications for them. These overviews will allow me to compare and contrast the scientific journal articles, discuss any common themes, theories, and methods among the articles, and identify any gaps in the research previously conducted.
