NUR 439 DISCUSSION QUESTION WEEK 2 – PICOT Question
One of the most challenging aspects once your PICOT question is developed is to conduct an effective search of the literature to be certain you have not missed important sources of information. I know I have been challenged in the past with being certain I had investigated all potential sources of evidence. For example, many times, I am researching educational literature and I often find that I can locate information from a variety of sources including nursing databases (Cinahl).
One of the most helpful things I have found to do is when I am conducting a search is to look in the reference list for the articles I am choosing to discover if I am missing an important article or book from a source I haven’t explored yet. I look forward to learning about the challenges you faced in your literature search and how you overcame those challenges. I can assure you that we will all learn a lot from this discussion.
The Course Outcomes (COs) we will apply in Unit 3 include:
- Examine the sources of evidence that contribute to professional nursing practice.
- Apply research principles to the interpretation of the content of published research studies.
Review the guidelines, grading rubric, and brief video (link found in guidelines) that explain the Research Database Assignment due in Week 4. Search for one research database that is relevant to this assignment, and briefly describe the issue you are investigating, the name of the research database, and where it may be found, that is, the URL.
