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.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 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.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 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.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity.<\/span> WEEKLY RESOURCES<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Walden Library recommends starting your search\u202f<\/span>broadly<\/span><\/i>\u202fwith one concept or search word and adding more elements one at a time.

This topic of interest is near to my heart since I have three children of my own and I know first-hand how the pandemic affected them. My oldest is now 16 but 13 at the time of COVID-19 and I would say that was her hardest years of adolescence. According to the world health organization, social withdrawal can exacerbate isolation and loneliness and this can lead to depression (2021). The whole school year, of the pandemic, my school-aged children were isolated in our own home away from family and friends. The following year my oldest daughter was clinically diagnosed with anxiety and depression. We have endured an inpatient stay, outpatient therapy, and lots of prescription medications, but have finally turned the corner to a brighter future. Overall, the pandemic undoubtedly affected the mental health of everyone and especially children. On another note, I do think that utilizing the Boolean terms properly will help your research efforts. According to the clinical information access portal depending on what you want to research that will determine which term to utilize, AND is for narrowing your search, OR is for broadening, and NOT is for excluding certain items (1996). This website also had infographics that helped me understand how to utilize Boolean terms properly. I hope you find it as resourceful as I did.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Clinical Information Access Portal. (1996).\u202f<\/span>Combining terms with Boolean Operators (AND, OR, NOT)<\/span><\/i>.

Covid-19 affected many children and adults both physically and mentally. In your literature research were you able to fine any articles that provided clarity as to the why behind the changes in adolescent mental health?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I will do some more research and figure out how to develop the PICOT question.\u202f Many articles and my experience working with adolescents pointed to social isolation and lockdowns having a negative effect on adolescents.\u202f \u202fNot being able to socialize and always being home with their parents, many kids started having negative behavioral issues of defiance, self-harm, and suicidal and homicidal ideation toward their family.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I will continue to search more and develop the PICOT question<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Patient outcomes are at the forefront of all healthcare organizations. We want the best for our patients and their families. As healthcare workers, this can be a challenge. With staffing shortages, and constantly changing work requirements, burnout is becoming more and more prominent. Exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic nursing burnout is a challenge we must overcome. Decreased work-related stressors such as workload, and time pressures, and increasing communication, and interpersonal relationships by having a more conducive work environment can minimize burnout in nursing (Afriyie, 2020). \u202f\u202fThis clinical issue must be addressed to prevent further deterioration of staff and patient outcomes (Canadas-DelaFuente et al., 2015). Overall, nursing burnout has negative implications for patient outcomes and healthcare organizations (Peirson, 2021).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u202fI first had to develop a strategy for researching to find articles that did not include systematic reviews, this week’s resource section provided excellent explanations of the different types of research and where to go to find them. I did find that while searching different databases having fewer words helped with the search results. My original search term Nursing Burnout resulted in 45 articles to choose from, alternatively when using the term Patient Outcomes over 1600 articles populated. This made searching for my specific topic more challenging since there were only a few articles that had both specifications addressed. Some way to overcome these challenges is to speak the research engine’s \u201clanguage\u201d so to speak. I researched the topic of interest and utilized the word AND in addition to the second word in my topic of interest which narrowed down the amount articles to 40, which resulted in the best articles that addressed the complete topic in its entirety.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Afriyie, D.

You are correct when you narrow your search terms you also can narrow your number of articles available for review. Health care burn out is a growing problem. The issue of burnout started before the COVID 19 pandemic and grew exponentially since then.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nRESOURCES<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
