1.Research and identify problems in nursing and discuss how it has affected the following areas:organizational leadership,community outreach,chronic patient care settings and nursing education.
2. Write a problem statement using the PICO format for writing problem statements from Chapter 6 on a problem that correlates with the selected area from #1. (PICO Template may be useful: PICOT template.pdf)
download Remember that in your problem statement, you’ll want to substitute different variables for the X and Y variables. (Ideally, this builds on your interests based on assignment 1).
3. Conduct a data base search Identifying the key words and criteria you can use to select an article that applies to your problem statement. Try the same search terms in the different data bases and see what you find in comparing the content and accessibility between nursing research databases.
4. Select an article that uses a primary research methodology that applies to your research problem statement (and for RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT 2). Identify what type of article this is, and then define that type (ie: Reference: “This is a peer reviewed article ~ A peer reviewed article is…”) NO SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS OR META-ANALYSES
5. Then, based on the evidence, identify an intervention that can be used to address with the problem.
6.Refine your data base search Identifying the final key words and criteria you can used to further explore the select intervention and how it applies to your problem statement. Again, try the same new search terms in different data bases & see what you find that best meets your criteria.
7. Give the reference in APA format (article should be < 3 yrs old)
Summarize/synthesize the article’s information based on how the intervention identified addresses your PICO question. This should be just a few sentences that summarizes and gives your professional perspective based on the evidence. Support your response.
