]]> 2017-02-23 17:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/155821153 One specific challenge I am facing in doing the library research for this class is finding articles on my topic. jcarter122 https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/156894528 2017-02-28 23:55:32 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/156894528 I believe current articles are important to answer my research question because its recent information and ultimately the best evidence practiced. Although past articles could display the start of a change, the current will exhibit recent research. jcarter122 https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/156894588 2017-02-28 23:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/156894588 Methods I use when I need to narrow my topic is grouping articles I find and seeing if there is a common pattern, population and/or focus and then I add that to my search. jcarter122 https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/156895041 2017-03-01 00:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/156895041 Currently this is my challenge, finding a method to use to broaden my topic. I could use some helpful hints on this. jcarter122 https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/156895185 2017-03-01 00:02:41 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/156895185 Methods I use to narrow my topic is choosing a more specific area of interest from the research articles that I find. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157518923 2017-03-03 01:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157518923 I remove some of the specific key words when I need to broaden my topic search. I also use key words relating to a different area of my topic. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157519376 2017-03-03 01:54:07 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157519376 Specific challenges include finding my way around various resource websites in search of articles on my topic area, also difficulty in having access to full text for some of the articles I am interested in. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157519638 2017-03-03 01:56:12 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157519638 Current articles are important to answer my research question because they provide the latest information and EBP methods available. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157519892 2017-03-03 01:58:40 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157519892 Current articles reflects current treatment protocols which support EBP. When i need to broaden a topic,i formulate more research questions which are directly related to the research topic.The only challenge related to my topic is the extensive studies which has been done it.I will have to take time to sort the ones which are reliable. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157530835 2017-03-03 04:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157530835 Current articles, those published within the last five years, are important to answering our research question because these articles are the most updated and they support EBP. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157806654 2017-03-04 22:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157806654 If I can't find enough articles for my research first, I will research again with any possible key words that apply to my topic then I might broaden my topic from specific to a general. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157806788 2017-03-04 22:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157806788 A specific challenge that I am facing in doing the library research for this class is that articles that I like to read and seem related to my topic are not available in full text. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157807081 2017-03-04 22:35:38 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157807081 If I need to narrow down my topic I will first start writing down any ideas or words that relate to my topic from a general idea to a more specific. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157807229 2017-03-04 22:40:46 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157807229 To broaden my topic I use google scholar to look up some articles with my research question key terms. Then I use some research terms that comes up on my search from google scholar to further my research on WSU database. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157902618 2017-03-06 01:20:30 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157902618 Articles published in the last 5yrs are the most updated and provide current information on EBP studies https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157903333 2017-03-06 01:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157903333 Finding the correct search terms for my research is a challenge in finding articles for my research. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157904150 2017-03-06 01:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157904150 A method that I use to narrow my topic include looking at the references at the end of articles that are relevent to my topic to help lead me to other articles https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157904552 2017-03-06 01:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/157904552 Methods I use: https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158063539 If i feel that my topic is not broad enough, then I add other things that I would like to focus on to my research. Same thing if I can not find enough articles due to my topic being too broad. I then subtract topics from my research to make it more narrow.]]> 2017-03-06 15:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158063539 Challenges I Am Facing: https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158067841 Some challenges I face when trying to find articles within the WSU library are: using key words, not having access to articles, and finding articles relevant to my research.]]> 2017-03-06 15:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158067841 Current Articles: https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158072673 Articles from within the last five years are important because they are the building blocks for the future. It also informs us on the newest information that has been proven through research. Therefore, when answering our research questions, we will have evidence that is up-to-date to back it up.]]> 2017-03-06 16:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158072673 Methods I use https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158550499 I use the selections on the left side of the library page to narrow my topic. I don't feel as though my topic is too narrow, but I still use those options as far as publication date, content type, and the "refine your search" section. ]]> 2017-03-08 03:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158550499 Specific Challenges https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158551115 Some challenges I face are when I think I found the perfect article, but then it says it is not available. I've also had a hard time finding enough articles on my topic. ]]> 2017-03-08 03:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158551115 I am not sure how to broaden my topic or what to use. In the past I have used google, but I am not sure how much this will help me because I want to use articles that are evidence based. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158551459 2017-03-08 03:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158551459 I think that articles published within the last five years are important to answering my research questions because they are not outdated, but instead they are up to date, and are more reliable. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158551911 2017-03-08 03:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158551911 More Broad Topic: In order to broaden my topic, I would start with making the population bigger. For example, instead of using pediatric oncology nurses, I could simply use pediatric nurses or oncology nurses. This allows for a more generalized approach, which leads to more information on the topic. abellino1 https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158648835 2017-03-08 13:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158648835 More Narrow Topic: abellino1 https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158649438 In order to narrow my topic, I would get more specific. This could be done with the population, or it could be done with what I am researching. For example, I could look into two specific coping strategies that have proven to be successful in reducing burnout in pediatric oncology and seeing which one is best for an oncology nurse with over 10 years of experience.

I have found a journal strictly for pediatric oncology and they have so much that relates to my topic, but I also want to use another source to get some other outlooks on this topic. I am also finding more qualitative articles due to the nature of my question, so I am continuing to look for valid quantitative articles that relate directly to my topic. ]]> 2017-03-08 13:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158650549 Current Articles: abellino1 https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158651952 Evidence-based practice is all about the most current information that is to be shared with health care professionals in order for them to implement new practices. It is best to use articles written within the last five years because the results are up to date. ]]> 2017-03-08 14:00:40 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158651952 I believe it is important to use articles within the last five years because it is the most up to date information you are receiving. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158819051 2017-03-08 21:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158819051 To narrow my topic, I will be more specific with my search terms. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158819478 2017-03-08 21:09:59 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158819478 https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158939654 2017-03-09 12:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158939654 https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158945007 2017-03-09 13:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/158945007 CHALLENGES:The specific challenges that I'm facing are finding enough articles that are specific to my topic. I am finding numerous articles about my target population in general, but the specific research problem/question is not addressed. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/159033661 2017-03-09 16:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/159033661 METHODS TO BROADEN: If I need to broaden my topic or if I am not finding enough articles that address what I am searching for, I go to another library that has access to a different database. I also conduct my searches using different databases. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/159035602 2017-03-09 16:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/159035602 METHODS TO NARROW: If I encounter too many articles I sometimes change the search settings to filter out older articles, etc. I can also plug in more specific search parameters or more specific details regarding my research topic. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/159036982 2017-03-09 16:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/159036982 CURRENT ARTICLES: The more current/newer the article, the more likely it is to contain up-to-date/current information that is reflective of the current research. This latest/newest research, if published, is accepted and proven to be useful and work best in each patient scenario. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/159038190 2017-03-09 16:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/159038190 It is important to use articles that have been published within the last five years because you want the most up to date studies to back up your research topic. Articles that are older than five years are out to date and there could be new data out there. https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/159165390 2017-03-10 01:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/wlundmark/bvgh0re6r6qn/wish/159165390
