Conclusion:
A good conclusion does not simply restate the main points that have been covered in the essay. In your conclusion you should draw all the elements together and sum up your argument/discussion in a meaningful way. This could include making a summative statement about the importance, relevance and impact of your chosen life transition and the effects it has on relationships, concepts of self and nursing or midwifery practice. You could also make a summative evaluation here of past and contemporary research understandings of this transition. A good conclusion includes drawing the reader’s attention to the wider implications of the discussion and the need for future research or investigation. All sources must be acknowledged when using the literature to support your conclusion.
