Abstract

Background: Integrative Review is a systematic literature review method that enables comprehensive analysis and synthesis of theoretical and empirical research using different methodologies. The literature highlights the need to establish minimum guidelines during its construction due to a lack of consensus among researchers in implementing the method. Objective: The aim is to present a precise systematization of all necessary and sufficient steps to conduct an Integrative Review. Method: To this end, an analysis of the items reported as necessary for constructing systematic reviews in the PRISMA protocol was carried out, as well as their adequacy to the Integrative Review method and steps presented in psychology studies. Results: It was concluded that two items were adequate, 16 items were partially adequate with modifications, nine items were not satisfactory, and one item was developed and added. At the end, a checklist with 15 items was constructed and presented with examples of the expected reports for each item developed. Conclusion: It was concluded that the Integrative Review method has its characteristics. This study will likely help reduce the disparity found in the field involving Integrative Reviews in Psychology and help promote the replication and extension of research.
