Searching Databases – Literature Search

By Academic Wizard Blog

Searching Databases – Literature Search

When you decide to purchase a new car, you first decide what is important to you. If mileage and dependability are the important factors, you will search for data focused more on these factors and less on color options and sound systems.

The same holds true when searching for research evidence to guide your clinical inquiry and professional decisions. Developing a formula for an answerable, researchable question that addresses your need will make the search process much more effective. One such formula is the PICO(T) format.

In this Discussion, you will transform a clinical inquiry into a searchable question in PICO(T) format, so you can search the electronic databases more effectively and efficiently. You will share this PICO(T) question and examine strategies you might use to increase the rigor and effectiveness of a database search on your PICO(T) question. Searching Databases – Literature Search

To Prepare:

Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.,
Review the materials offering guidance on using databases performing keyword searches and developing PICO(T) questions provided in the Resources.,
Based on the clinical issue of interest and using keywords related to the clinical issue of interest search at least two different databases in the Walden Library to identify at least four relevant peer-reviewed articles related to your clinical issue of interest., You should not be using systematic reviews for this assignment select original research articles.,
Review the Resources for guidance and develop a PICO(T) question of interest to you for further study., It is suggested that an Intervention-type PICOT question be developed as these seem to work best for this course.,

Library tip:

Walden Library recommends starting your search broadly with one concept or search word and adding more elements one at a time. Depending on your topic, the evidence will not necessarily address all the aspects of your PICO(T) question in one article. Select the most important concepts to search and find the best evidence available, even if that means assembling evidence from multiple articles.

By Day 3 Of Week 4 Searching Databases – Literature Search

Post a brief description of your clinical issue of interest. This clinical issue will remain the same for the entire course and will be the basis for the development of your PICOT question. Describe your search results in terms of the number of articles returned on original research and how this changed as you added search terms using your Boolean operators. Finally, explain strategies you might make to increase the rigor and effectiveness of a database search on your PICO(T) question. Be specific and provide examples.

Arsenic Class Action Lawsuit

By Academic Wizard Blog

Arsenic Class Action Lawsuit

Scenario

You are a paralegal: your job is to review applications for a class action lawsuit. Currently, you are working to find individuals who have been exposed to high levels of arsenic in the local drinking water, negatively impacting their health and development. (Learn more about the impact of arsenic on human development on the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry website). You are meeting with individuals seeking to join in the lawsuit due to their health experiences. However, your boss is acutely aware of the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) Study and is highly concerned that the individuals in the community have other exposures or genetic issues that have influenced their health.

Consider Jacob. Jacob is a 45-year-old man who is married and works a full-time job as a coal miner. Jacob was born with born developmentally delayed. His IQ is low, and he was in speech therapy throughout his childhood. Jacob had bladder cancer when he was 12 years old. He received chemotherapy and has been in remission since. Jacob’s parents divorced when he was ten due to domestic violence and alcohol abuse issues in the home. His father was an alcoholic, and Jacob’s parents smoked cigarettes. Jacob always had a positive relationship with his mother, who did her best to protect him from abuse and his father’s anger. Jacob and his mother have a tight bond because of their experiences with Jacob’s father. Jacob has not seen his father since the divorce and recently learned that his father died from lung cancer. Jacob struggles when he gets mad, often yelling or stomping around and hitting walls. Jacob’s mother often showed fear when Jacob would get angry as a teen. Jacob’s extended family constantly notes that he is the spitting image of his father, sharing a similar height, weight, and coloring. As Jacob ages, he is starting to have health problems similar to his mother, including skin lesions and respiratory issues.

Instructions

The lead attorney has asked you to go through Jacob’s summary and highlight things that might be related to Jacob’s exposure to arsenic in the drinking water. He also wants you to explain which things may be related to genetics and the environment in which Jacob was raised. You will use the following template to provide the needed information in your report. Since your analysis will be used as a part of the case, you must use complete sentences to explain your assessment as well as academic sources, references. and citations.

Explain how arsenic (an environmental pollutant) can impact development., Write your one-paragraph answer here. Include an in-text citation.,

Identify examples from the client history that would be attributed to arsenic exposure. ,Write your one-paragraph answer here. Include an in-text citation.,

Explain the role of genetics in shaping development., Write your one-paragraph answer here. Include an in-text citation.,

Identify examples from the client history that would be genetic or hereditary issues., Write your one-paragraph answer here. Include an in-text citation.,

Explain the role of the home environment in the developing individual. ,Write your one-paragraph answer here. Include an in-text citation.,

Identify examples from the client history that would be issues related to the home environment. Write your one-paragraph answer here. Include an in-text citation.

Describe how pollution, genetic factors, and environmental factors are interacting in this case. Write your one-paragraph answer here. Include an in-text citation.

Bias Scenario – Walden University

By Academic Wizard Blog

Bias Scenario – Walden University

Complete the title page, respond to the questions below, save the document per the Walden file format, and upload the document to the XA3003 Bias Scenario area.

In the break room conversation, identify at least three statements that clearly demonstrate bias or prejudice. Explain why these statements reflect bias and which specific group or characteristic they target.

Point out an instance of subtle bias in the conversation. How does the statement perpetuate stereotypes or assumptions about certain groups? Discuss why these subtle biases might be just as harmful as more overt expressions of bias.

The nurses in the scenario have expressed bias in many of their statements.

How might the bias of the nurses impact social determinants of health and quality care?

Imagine you were present in the break room during this conversation. How would you respond to at least one of the biased statements? Outline at least three strategies you could use to address bias and prejudice constructively, fostering a more inclusive and respectful environment in the workplace.
