BACKGROUND
Background provides the state of the art of the study and consists of an adequate background, the previous research and significance of the study to show the scientific merit or novelties of the paper. Avoid the use of literature review or a summary of the results. Objective states must be included in background as the major aim of the study.
METHODS
Method consists of research design, place and time of research, population and samples, data measurement, and data analysis methods. Please provide sufficient details of the methods include ethical conduct.
RESULTS
Results describe the major findings of the study. It should be clear, concise and can be reported on texts or graphics. Please provide some introduction for the information presented on tables or images.
DISCUSSION
The discussion should explore the significance of the results of the study. The following components should be covered in discussion: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the background section (what)? Do you provide interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences?
CONCLUSION
Conclusion should answer the objectives of the study. Provide a clear scientific justification for your study and indicate possible recommendation for nursing practice and future practice.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS (if any):
Briefly acknowledge research funders, and any research participants in this section.
REFERENCES
Write reference in Harvard Style format. The References consist of all references used to write the articles. Ensure that citations used are as contemporary as possible, including those from the current year of writing. Delete older literature citations (more than 10 years) unless these are central to your study. References should avoid the use of secondary citations.

BACKGROUND
The introduction should briefly contain the research problem or gap, explaining the reasons why it is important to be researched through the literature review method. List the goals and benefits of the study.
METHODS
The stages of the literature review process are to find relevant literature of at least 10 articles from reputable journals that are both nationally and internationally accredited and the year of the article reviewed in the last 10 years. The search results and article selection are listed in the PRISMA literature review chart. The nature of literature reviews is to focus on one topic or one problem. Next, determine the inclusion criteria and exclusions for the review and how the studies are grouped for synthesis. Create a table with a Critical Appraisal.
RESULTS
Describe the results of the search and selection process, from the number of records identified in the search to the number of studies included in the review, ideally using a flowchart. For all outcomes, there are, for each study: (a) summary statistics for each group (where appropriate) and (b) estimates of the effect and its accuracy (e.g. credible confidence/interval), ideally using structured tables or plots. listed in a table consisting of the name of the journal, the name of the author, the purpose of the research, the research method, and the results of the research.
DISCUSSION
Discussions should relate the results to the current understanding of the research problem being studied. Discuss the implications of the results for future practice, policy, and research.
CONCLUSION
Conclusion should answer the objectives of the study. Provide a clear scientific justification for your study and indicate possible recommendation for nursing practice and future practice.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS (if any):
All acknowledgements (if any) should be included at the very end of the paper before the references and may include supporting grants, presentations, and so forth.
