Week 3 - Assignment 1 Discussion

In this discussion, you will share your search strategies that you have employed to find evidence for your study. For this discussion:

State your PICOT question. Did using the terms used in this question lead you to useful research studies?

What MESH terms have you tried? Did they help you find additional studies? Are you finding MESH terms useful to expand or delimit your search?

Are you finding relevant articles? If not, how did you modify your search to increase productivity?

Indicate which databases you used—those you found useful and those that were not.

What levels of evidence do the studies you are finding represent?

Post any questions or concerns you may have and provide feedback and recommendations to your classmates. Working together and sharing search strategies is very helpful.

Use the Search Tracker to keep track of search terms.

Using the appropriate Rapid Clinical Appraisal (RCA) Tools, appraise one or two articles and add the information to your Evaluation Table to receive feedback from faculty. At this juncture, your table is a work in progress. You will complete it in Week 4. The RCA Tools and Evaluation Table in Word for you to complete can be found in the Week 3 Overview section.
