Hi all,
Late this week and this weekend, nursing students might seek help finding a qualitative research article, a quantitative research article, and a quality improvement article on their topic. They might mention that they're a nursing senior, or that this is for research class, or that they're in NUR 450, or they need help with their PICO assignment. (PICO=research question)
I've got a group consultation tomorrow, sort of like an office hour, for a few of these students: Fri 9/30, 12:30 pm - 1:15 pm. Feel free to share the link with any NUR 450 student you encounter. I sent full Zoom info to the instructors and it is also on the Ref Dept Google calender.
The nursing guide lists databases likely to be helpful, including CINAHL, PubMed, Google Scholar. Here are some tips:
- type a few terms from the research question, and add the type of article that's wanted, for instance stress reduction and nursing students and "quality improvement"
- no results? remove a term or broaden the topic a little: stress and nursing students and "quality improvement"
- CINAHL has limits that can help: Research article checkbox, Clinical Queries: Qualitative
Please forward nursing students who need help to me, laleinin@uncg.edu. But also keep in mind that the instructor who is grading the assignment is the one who can confirm that a source meets requirements. I can ask guiding questions (let's look at the abstract, this says literature review, not quality improvement), but that's not the same thing.
I hope that this is helpful. Thank you for your patience.
-Lea
