1NURSING 475
- Step Five
- RESEARCH APPLICATION
2STEP FIVE The Assignment
- Select a nursing intervention you performed on
this patient. What are some of the decisions that
were made in the provision of nursing care? Were
these based on tradition or is there scientific
evidence to support them?
3STEP FIVE The Assignment
- Formulate a researchable problem related to that
intervention. (Why were things done this
way?), I wonder what would have happened if
Would there have been a better way
to.)
4STEP FIVE The Assignment
- Conduct a literature search to identify nursing
research studies that address your research
problem. - Find three research articles from peer reviewed
nursing or medical journals.
5Step 5 The Assignment
- For each study, summarize the studys purpose,
design, methods and findings. - For each study, analyze the strengths and
limitations of the research and support your
argument. - Discuss the generalization of the research
findings to your patient and/or family.
6Step Five The Assignment
- Can you generalize all/some of the findings and
apply to the care of your patient? Why or why
not?
7STEP SIX Format
- Correct grammar must be used throughout the
paper. - Use APA format (5th edition)
- Do not exceed 22 pages (excluding appendices and
reference list). - Use headings and subheadings for each section of
the paper.
8Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association
- Often shortened to APA MANUAL.
- A copy is available at Ready Reference.
- Call number is WZ 345 P512P 2001.
- It is the fifth edition.
9These Databases may help your research efforts
- CINAHL, available from 1982-present
- MEDLINE, available from 1950-present
- While the Cochrane Library Evidence-based
Medicine is considered the Gold Standard, some of
its topic reviews contain a collection of
research articles which are reviewed for their
efficacy.
10Databases continued
- At this time, in your research career, use only
MEDLINE and CINAHL for this particular
assignment. - The properties of each database will be discussed
separately.
11Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health
Literature(CINAHL )
12What does CINAHL include?
- Journal articles

13CINAHL is available online from 1982 to the

Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health
Literature found in Reference to look for
citations.
14 CINAHL is a proprietary (subscription)
database.
15More helpful hints
- Keep one thought to a line.
- Combine terms as set numbers.
- Do not combine ors and ands together in
the same search line.

41Searching Continued
- When you Or these terms together, you have a
huge number of citations. - Next, insert the condition, disease, or other
search term you wish to research.
42Focusing terms
- Select the Focus box if you wish to limit your
search to those documents in which your subject
heading is considered the major point of the
article
43Exploding and Focusing
- You may do both, explode and focus.
- You may decide to neither focus or explode,
thats alright too.
44Searching
- Combine the term myocardial infarction
- AND the terms Ored and you have 102 citations.
Next begin the limitation process.

49Limiting the search
- Limit to English, limit to the required years,
limit to peer review. You may also limit to age
and gender.

53Limiting
- There are 151 citations in the set.
54DISPLAYING THE SEARCH
- As you begin to review the citations, look to the
right below each citation. - It will say abstract, complete reference and
often full text. - The full text may be in different print formats.
It may be PDF, ASCII, or HTML.
55Article retrieval
- If the article isnt available in full text in
EBSCO, it may be in the electronic journals which
the campus libraries owns or available in a paper
copy on the third floor.
56CINAHL does not use the same indexing terms as
MEDLINE.
57MEDLINE
- Includes a nursing index. The International
Nursing Index is here. - The time line is further back, records are
included from 1950. - There are many foreign language journals in this
database. If you request an inter-library loan,
of a foreign language journal article, the
article will be in the language indicated on the
screen.
58Go to the Ovid Searches
- Select MEDLINE instead of CINAHL as the database
to search. - Select the years 1996-present.
- You will have more limits available.
- The peer review limit is NOT available in
MEDLINE.
59OVID MEDLINE 1996-present
60SEARCHING
- To facilitate the search, Include a group of
terms that are applicable. Each term is added on
a separate line. - Each term is exploded and focused when you
mark the box opposite the term. - Select all subheadings and continue.
61Click on the set numbers and Combine with or
62Note the database uses different search terms and
uses exp for explode.
63Next type in myocardial infarction And it with
set 5
64(No Transcript)
65Searching
- Use or (which is like the mathematical
addition sign ) - oring (or adding) the subject headings of the 4
terms you have listed will create a larger set of
results. - Next you add the surgical or medical condition
that is of interest to you. - Use myocardial infarction to be consistent with
the search in CINAHL.
66Searching
- When you OR you get more, but when you take
this string of ORs and AND it to another term
on a different line, your retrieval will be less.
67Limiting
- You may do a number of limits at the same time.
On the following screen, the limits are years,
ages, language, and to human only.
68Limiting
- You may limit to a type of journal, such as
nursing journals. - MEDLINE doesnt have a limit for peer reviewed
journals.
69Limiting
- As you can see, each limit decreases the search
significantly. You may wish to select articles
from both CINAHL and MEDLINE. Some may be
duplicates. - Some may not be in full text. You may have to
check the catalog and e-journal list to see if
the library holds the journal.
