I enjoyed reading your post and I can relate to a lot of what you said in it. I feel that more then ever with the amount of research, journals, articles and opinions that will be published in regard to COVID we need to step back and critically analyze whether the article or data is scholarly. According to Laureate Education \u201cit is important for nurses to conduct research; we are at the bedside and we see problems that need to be addressed that perhaps others would not see\u201d (2018). This is critical when we begin to analyze the data that is being published by multiple parties. We are in a good position to do our own research and start the process of changing what does not work for these patients and we can accomplish this with credible data and peer review research ourselves. As bedside nurses we are in a crucial role to change health care and get our findings out to other organizations that can benefit from what we have learned.<\/p>\n
I also agree with you that research poses challenges when using the online libraries. I also struggled with it. When I looked up education and COVID for example I was presented with so much information that it was overwhelming and when I researched it more I found a lot of the information was not scholarly but public press releases and opinions without much data to them. \u00a0When I was evaluating the articles and journals I relied on the Walden Library\u2019s page on Evaluating Resources for some key points to check for the credibility of the publication. I found a lot of trade publications which according to the library \u201care written by staff writers or practitioners in a given trade or profession. The intent is to share industry news, trends and advances\u201d( Walden Library, n.d.). Some of the articles are peer reviewed but a majority do not get peer reviewed. In the future I am going to use your recommendation to use the \u201cAdvanced Search\u201d tab and see if I cannot rein in some of the topics that come up when I do a complete search. This may help with some of my frustration and time it takes me to research articles. Thank you.<\/p>\n
