This document discusses searching for nursing education resources on PubMed and using DeCS to translate terms to English. It provides examples of search strategies using keywords related to blogs, wikis, nursing, and teaching. It also explains how to select citations from search results to save and import into RefWorks or other citation managers. Finally, it lists 5 references related to using digital tools like blogs and wikis to support nursing students and educators.
Looks at approaches to dissemination of health information research and its outcomes. Includes a look at what makes a good research article. Presented by Dr. Graham Walton at the CILIPS Centenary Conference Scottish Health Information NEtwork seminar which took place on 4 Jun 2008.
Literature SearchesAn important step in the EBP process is reviewi.docxBetseyCalderon89
Literature Searches
An important step in the EBP process is reviewing the current body of literature to better understand the subject or topic in which you are interested. By conducting a review of the literature, you are building foundational knowledge about the topic; later, you can use this background to build new insights. Developing a strong grasp of a topic can only be garnered by taking the time to thoroughly search for relevant information and resources.
For this Discussion, you will practice searching the literature to find evidence on a specific topic.
To prepare:
Choose a simple search term(s) relating to a topic of your PICOT question.
Review the information on the evidence hierarchy discussed in Chapter 2 of the course text, in the article, “Facilitating Access to Pre-Processed Research Evidence in Public Health,” and in the multimedia presentation “Hierarchy of Evidence Pyramid,” found in this week’s Learning Resources.
Review the information on the Walden Library’s website, “Levels of evidence.” Take a few minutes to explore the different types of databases available for each level of evidence and focus on the meaning of filtered and non-filtered resources.
Conduct a literature search in the Walden Library on your selected topic using the databases that you reviewed. Use at least one database for each of the three levels of filtered information and at least one unfiltered database. Record the number of hits that you find at each level of the hierarchy of evidence.
Select one article from the results at each level of the hierarchy. Compare the articles based on the quality and depth of information. What would be the value of each resource if you were determining an evidence-based practice?
Post on or before Day 3:
(1)a summary of your search.
(2) Describe what topic you selected, the search term(s) that you used, and the number of results found at each level of the hierarchy.
(3) Compare the types of information found in the articles from different levels and the value of the information from each level.
(4) Highlight a useful tip that you could share with your colleagues about conducting an effective literature search

Searching and Critiquing the Evidence
Bring to mind the various practice problems you and your colleagues have been considering in this course. What insights might the literature provide with regard to these issues? How should you evaluate the research? And, why is it important to review and critique this information?
This Discussion addresses strategies for searching the literature in order to critique existing evidence. Please note that this Discussion is related to Application Assignment #4, which is assigned this week. You are strongly encouraged to read through that assignment now.
To prepare:
Review the Walden Library Webinars presented in the Learning Resources.
Recall the practice problem and theoretical framework you identified for the Week 5
Discussion

. Using the Walden Library and other professional databases, conduct a search and locate four
(4)
appropriate primary research articles
one of which is a systematic review.
Review the articles and determine what level of evidence they represent. Using the critique strategies presented in the Learning Resources as a guide, consider how the articles you located either support or weaken the merit of your theoretical framework or the importance of your practice problem.
By Wednesday 7/05/17, post 550 words essay in APA format with 2 references from the list below, as well as the 4 references for the articles review that include the level one headings as numbered below:

a cohesive response that addresses the following:
1)
How does the literature strengthen or weaken the merit of your selected theoretical framework and practice problem?
2)
What levels of evidence are most prevalent in these articles?
(I, II, III, IV or V)
3)
Why do you think that level of evidence is most prevalent?

Breaking Boundaries: Supporting a New Pathways Scholars ProgramSue Barrett
The Pathways Scholars Program is designed for students who experienced greater-than-average challenges in their preparation to become competitive medical school applicants. The program provides students with the academic health sciences instruction, introduction to research practices, and study and time-management skills that are required of successful applicants.
This poster outlines how library instruction teaches these promising students information literacy and life-long learning skills.
