...Instructor How To Develop A Research Strategy In this paper I have identified a problem I face in my day-to-day life, which is time management. I will discuss how to develop a research strategy to find a solution to my time management problem and include what information should be gathered, where the information can be obtained, how I evaluate the information that I gather, and explain how I will use the information to resolve the problem. Briefly Describe Problem One big problem I notice in my day-to-day life is the feeling like there isn’t enough time in the day to accomplish all the things I want to finish. At least not without some short cuts, or not giving a task the full attention it requires. On top of my already busy schedule, I decided to go back to school. This means managing my time properly is going to have to be priority number one. A lot of times, for me, time management means to just do less during a day or whatever the span of time is. Sometimes just doing less isn’t an option, for those times, it is going to be good to know other strategies to help me make more effective use of my time. Identify What Type of Information To Gather In order to find ways for me to improve my time management skills I need to gather information such as research and studies that have been done to help university students. For even more specific information I can search for articles, peer-reviewed papers, and primary sources for data pertaining to ways adults returning...

...atypical antipsychotics and sexual dysfunction for my summative assignment as I am interested in this topic. I will explain the process of gathering information and relevant to my topic. I will then discuss the strengths and limitations of four chosen articles and explain its implication to practice. RATIONALE While on my Common foundation programme in an acute ward I attended a ward round for different patients. For confidentiality reasons the patients name is withheld to respects patient’s right to confidentiality (NMC, 2009). One of the service users raised a concern regarding his medication, when asked for the reasons, he expressed that the medication was affecting his sex life. I found this to be an interesting topic to explore evidence on sexual dysfunction as one of the side effects of antipsychotic. The American Psychiatric Association (1997) describes sexual dysfunction as “the inability to maintain erection to complete intercourse or sexual activity”. Sexual dysfunction can cause extreme difficulties in relationship and can lead to low self-esteem and depression (Kell & Dinsmore, 2008). The Oxford Dictionary for Nurses (2008) describes atypical antipsychotics as drugs that are used to treat severe mental disorders (psychoses) including schizophrenia, mania and anxiety in small dosages. SEARCH STRATEGY To find the information relevant for my topic I will use key words and Boolean operators such as AND, OR and “ “. My key words are: 1. Atypical 2. Antipsychotic ...

...Literature Search This paper is about performing searches for peer-reviewed scholarly research articles using online data bases. Two articles are identified; one as a qualitative study and the other as a quantitative study. The first, "Nursing care of prisoners: staff views and experiences" (Powel, Harris, Condon, and Kemple, 2010) is a qualitative research study. This was recognized as a qualitative research study because it was based on feelings and views; not objective findings. Burns and Grove (2011) defines a qualitative research study as "a systematic, subjective approach used to describe life experiences and situations and give them meaning" (p. 20). The second article, "Assessing Behavior and Social Competence of Severely Emotionally Disturbed Youth Admitted to Psychiatric Residential Treatment" (Groot, 2009) is a quantitative study. According to Burns & Grove, (2011) "Quantitative research is a formal, objective, systematic process in which numerical data are used to obtain information about the world” (p. 20) and it is evident this article was quantitative because the findings employed numerical data. Three data bases were utilized; EBSCO Host, Proquest, and Gale Power Search. All three data bases were accessed through the University of Phoenix library website. When utilizing the EBSCO Host key words of "correctional nursing" were used. To narrow the search the following criteria were selected: Boolean, full text, scholarly (peer reviewed), and only dates...

...I utilized Ovid MEDLINE database to answer my PICO question: How does social isolation affect comorbidities in older adults in nursing homes. Ovid MEDLINE (R) without Revisions and PsycINFO were selected as resources to narrow the search. Evidence was found using ‘social isolation’ and ‘elderly’ as the two constant search term in all of the searches, using the ‘combine selections with and’ tool to add the phrases, ‘comorbidities’, ‘hypertension’, and ‘diabetes’. Joining the search terms narrowed down the extensive results to 56, 107, 122, respectively. I found six viable journal articles that will support my PICOT question that were all published approximately five years ago. Using Appendix E of the John Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based...

...INTRODUCTION: My research topic area is about the concept of pragmatics and how this concept can be applied to any of the information retrieval systems for better results. Some of my research questions are as follows: * Is it possible to apply the concept of pragmatics to any of the search engine? * Is there any pragmatic search engine available at the moment? * What is the difference between the concept of pragmatic and semantic? * Is the concept of pragmatic better than that of the semantic for information retrieval? PROJECT BACKGROUND: Earlier most of the search engines were only focusing on keywords and mainly uses some kind of ranking algorithm. But now a day’s semantic search engines are more popular. They deal with the literal meaning of the words or sentences. Some of the semantic search engines are Hakia, Kosmix, Exalead, SenseBot, Cognition search, Lexxe, Swoogle, Factbites, Powerset, Cluuz, etc. Google is using semantic technology but is not yet a fully fledged semantic search engine. It does not use NLP. There are barriers that Google needs to overcome: * Is it capable of becoming fully semantic without modifying its index? * Can Google continue to keep the results simple and navigate for its varied user base? * Does Google intend to become a fully semantic search engine and to do so within a timescale will it damage their position and reputation? Pragmatic deals with overall communicative and social context and its effect. But not much...

...children of all ages. Whether good food or junk food, all food marketers are spending billions of dollars to advertise to one age group: children. Ranging from birth to 17 years, children and young adults are unknowingly programmed by their surroundings everyday to eat whatever the food industry wants them to. In my research paper, I will be analyzing food advertisement geared towards children; specifically how these advertisements affect their health and diets. My position on food marketing is that it is too influential on children and that it needs to be more regulated, either by parents or by the government. Someone needs to take a stand for children so that when they are older, they can live healthy and fulfilling lives. The research I have conducted supports this claim that food marketers, in order to lower the obesity rate in children, need to be more heavily regulated. I also find that the sources I have selected cover the food industry well and will prove to be well-chosen. In order to understand this topic, my audience will need to know how children are being targeted by marketers. The sources I have collected are mostly taken off of the Academic Search Premier database, which is considered to be a reliable source. The source I consider to be most useful is “Food...

...1.Search Strategies are important in narrowing down your field, and to determine that you get the correct search parameters that you are looking for. There are numerous strategies that can be used to research literature online using the PsycINFO database. The best way to start a search is to determine the specific research questions in order to guide the search, using key terms and parameters. It is also important to determine all synonyms, alternate terminology and any word variations to narrow your search. The use of Boolear Operations such as the words; “and”, “or” will change the search results. Using the word “and” between each search term will give results that contain all the search terms, where using the word “or” between search terms will give results that contain at least one of the search terms. Focusing your search using limiters such as the document type, methodology, publication type and year are helpful search strategies to use in conjunction with the afore mentioned strategies. Using a variety of search strategies is important to limit your search to make it as efficient and effective as possible. When I first started the basic search I used the words pet ownership, beneficial, and health. The search options I used were to find any of my search terms, publication year 2005-2015, and English. This search generated 572 116 results. There were too many results to determine the relevance of these search results. I then used a basic search again using all the...

...Clinical Question The problem this paper addresses is whether probiotics can be an effective preventative measure for diarrhea when a child is prescribed an antibiotic. The significance of this problem is that diarrhea can lead to serious complications in the very young and the elderly. Based on a six-month prospective cohort study by Vernacchio et al. (2006), diarrhea in infants and young children was reported to be 2.2 episodes per person-year with a median duration of 2 days. More of these were caused by viruses than bacteria. Although recent data are unavailable, a 1991 study by Glass, Lew, Gangarose, and LeBaron indicated that 325-425 children in the US die of diarrheal disease every year and 2.1 to 3.7 million children are seen by a physician for diarrheal diseases. C difficile infections are among the most serious causes of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and their incidence in hospitalized infants has been increasing (American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Infectious Diseases, 2013). The major pathophysiology of the diarrhea associated with antibiotics is disturbance of the normal flora in the GI tract. The specific clinical question guiding the search for a quantitative research article is: In hospitalized pediatric patients taking antibiotics, does taking probiotics decrease the risk of antibiotic associated diarrhea? Population- hospitalized pediatric patients taking antibiotics Intervention- taking probiotics Comparison- not taking probiotics Outcome- reduction...

...through the PubMed database as well as through Ebsco (National Library of Medicine [NLM], 2014). PubMed is a free database that includes the MedLine database plus in-progress citations, citations to articles that are out-of-scope, ahead of print citations, etc. PubMed citations often offer links to the full-text article (NLM, 2014). The PubMed website has a page that helps you use their search engine. You can search by key concepts, author, and journal name. You can also apply filters to your research to narrow it to journals only. Another tool that PubMed offers is the Clinical Queries tool; this allows you to narrow your research to clinical searches only. Finally, in order to find high-quality citations– usually the ones that come from the MedLine database- PubMed allows you to add MeSH to your search filters (National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2005). When using the PubMed website, I would make sure that the journal citations come from the MedLine database; this way I would know that the citations are original and reliable. Also, to make my search faster, I would add MeSH to my search filters. ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health Source ProQuest is a major provider of academic databases. Its...

...The Search for an Ecology Paper Topic In the search for a paper topic that relates to Ecology, many possibilities emerged, including, of course, the popular Global Warming and Tropical Rainforest topics, but I wanted something different. Soon it was obvious there is confusion as to what Ecology really is. As our text, “Biology: A Guide to the Natural World,” points out, we should assume that many ecologists are environmentalists, but these are two very different professions. Enter “ecology” in the Google search engine, 739,000 topics related to ecology will appear! Clicking on many of these links will direct you to a Website featuring some “environmental” or “conservation” topic, not an “Ecology” topic. Many people assume that ecology and environmental conservation are one in the same and many of the Websites confirm this assumption. Ecology.com combines both ecological and environmental news and articles which only adds to the confusion; one would think a Website with this title would be an “official” Website featuring only factual information; not so, just as many other “official” sounding titles are not “official” websites! In fact, there are many college educated people, my son for example, with this same mind set. The confusion can be blamed on the media hype over the environmental movement. Not many years ago “go green” brought images of tractors, farm equipment, lawn mowers and the words “John Deere,” but today “go green” has a whole new meaning. It seems the word “green...
