Your Experience & Weekly Research Articles
Searching for articles has been a significant experience that has exposed me to the knowledge of how research has been rich in the field of psychiatric nursing. That is because at first, I assumed that it was a field that was not prioritized in research and not many articles were published regarding the area field. However, upon researching every week I have realized more articles are investigating various aspects or issues of psychiatric nursing than I could ever imagine. I have been using various databases for the search process. For instance, I have used the NCBI, PubMed, Ebsco, and Wiley Online Library, among other databases to aid in the search. One thing that I have discovered with the search is to e more specific on the search words used to ensure that the research articles found address the issue one wish to explore. The databases also provide the option of discovering more articles related to the one found.
Additionally, I have also found that many of the articles have almost similar findings when researching similar issues. For instance, all the articles I have reviewed so far address the issues or challenges faced by psychiatric nurses in their work environment. The findings in all the articles were similar. For instance, all the articles found that violence and assault was risk factor for psychiatric nurses. So far, I would say that all the articles provided useful information for my clinical practice. For instance, one of the articles I found useful for my clinical was an investigation by Shahrour et al. (2022). In this article, the researchers investigated how healthcare institutions could participate in reducing stress levels and violence among psychiatric nurses. This information is useful for my nursing practice because it provides a foundation that could be used by fellow psychiatric nurses to advocate for changes in the clinical practice.
The article suggested that health institutions should provide support services for psychiatric nurses (Shahrour et al., 2022). This is important information for my clinical practice because it informs of the changes that I could propose for organizational change. Also, helping psychiatric nurses cope with stress and violence in the workplace is important because it would reduce turnover rates and also improve interest in working in psychiatric wards.
Besides that, I also came across various articles that were not helpful for my clinical practice. However, this was not often based on the criteria I have adopted for the research of articles. For instance, I came across an article about a prospective study conducted by Doedens et al. (2021) that claimed that there were higher rates of seclusion of mental health patients when female nurses were on shift than when male nurses were on shift. Â I would say that this information was not useful in my practice because I have witnessed that violence from mental health patients is not determined by the gender of a nurse. That is because every nurse is at risk of violence, either verbal or physical.

My Experience & Weekly Research Articles
Research is an essential component of the healthcare industry, particularly the nursing profession. High-quality, evidence-based nursing care is founded on research. As a health insurance case manager, my job entails interacting with members and providers. I have to educate my members and help coordinate their care. My job is to provide the members with a smooth transition and assist in meeting their healthcare needs. To give the best care possible, I must stay current on the newest medical findings and recommendations. I continuously strive to gather data that will assist me to perform services more effectively in addition to being accurate. To stay current, I rely on research publications and nursing journals.
My experience looking for research articles has been positive. I believe these assignments have helped me become a more informed nurse. In the beginning, it was difficult to find articles that relate to my practice and met the requirements set by STU. With time, I began to learn which databases were factual and accurate, and which keywords to utilize to facilitate my search. I now use Google Scholar, STU library database, and PubMed to locate the articles of interest. Since starting to use those sites, I have been able to locate articles more easily and efficiently. There are several guidelines I have set in place when looking for an article. These guidelines include the publication date, the setting in which the article was written, clinical importance, and how it will influence my role as a nurse. Since the healthcare field is constantly evolving, it is important that the articles selected are written no more than 5 years ago. This ensures the findings learned from the article are current and appropriate for use in my practice.
Even though all the articles I have read while completing my assignments have contained at least one thing that has been beneficial to my practice, the article I chose for my first article summary has been the most beneficial. This one discussed the sociodemographic and clinical factors that were associated with diabetes mellitus type 2 patients’ adherence to self-care activities (Portela et al., 2022). Since the population I work with has a high incidence of diabetes mellitus type 2, it is important for me to understand what makes them adhere the most to self-care activities. I learned from this article that individuals were less consistent with their diet, exercise, and blood glucose monitoring. I also learned that persons were particularly devoted to their foot care and medication regimens. This information benefits my practice since I now know which activities to focus my teachings on and emphasize their importance. I believe an article that has not been helpful is the one I chose for my article 3 summary. This article discusses the effectiveness of case management in blood pressure reduction (Mantovanil et al., 2021). Even though the results of the article demonstrated that case management has an effect on blood pressure reduction, I did not learn any new information that can be applied to my practice. Overall, the weekly article summaries have helped me develop my skills as a researcher and a nurse.

Today is week 1 day 2. I need discussion question by Weds. The picot question in this discussion question will be the question for the paper. So I need discussion question complete and the 3 part paper.
Discussion: Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice
In your practice as a nurse, you may use procedures and methods that did not necessarily originate in evidence, but instead were derived from informal and unwritten conventions, traditions, and observations. While these techniques may have merit, practices are constantly being updated and contradicted by information from scholarly research studies and professional guidelines. This new information serves as “evidence” for revising practices to improve outcomes across health care.
Based on this evidence, you can formulate a question. In this Discussion, you consider the use of evidence-based practice in your own organization and formulate a question that you will need to answer for your portfolio project. This is called a PICOT question. You will also investigate strategies for overcoming barriers to implementing evidence-based practice (EBP).
To prepare:
By Day 3
Post an evaluation of the use, or lack thereof, of EBP in a recent clinical experience. Identify which aspects of the care delivered, if any, were based on evidence and provide your rationale. List your background questions and PICOT question about this nursing topic. Critique how the policies, procedures, and culture in your organization may hinder or support the adoption of evidence-based practices. Identify the barrier you selected from the article and explain how this barrier could be overcome within your organization.
Course Project: Part 1—Identifying a Researchable Problem
One of the most challenging aspects of EBP is to actually identify the answerable question.
—Karen Sue Davies
Formulating a question that targets the goal of your research is a challenging but essential task. The question plays a crucial role in all other aspects of the research, including the determination of the research design and theoretical perspective to be applied, which data will be collected, and which tools will be used for analysis. It is therefore essential to take the time to ensure that the research question addresses what you actually want to study. Doing so will increase your likelihood of obtaining meaningful results.
In this first component of the Course Project, you formulate questions to address a particular nursing issue or problem. You use the PICOT model—patient/population, intervention/issue, comparison, and outcome—outlined in the Learning Resources to design your questions.
To prepare:
Note: Not all of these variables may be appropriate to every question. Be sure to analyze which are and are not relevant to your specific question.
To complete:
Write a 3- to 4-page paper that includes the following:
By Day 7
Submit your Project. It will also be a component of your Portfolio Assignment for this course, which is due by Day 7 of Week 10.

2nd part
Course Project: Part 2—Literature Review
This is a continuation of the Course Project presented in Week 2. Before you begin, review the Course Project Overview document located in the Week 2 Resources area.
The literature review is a critical piece in the research process because it helps a researcher determine what is currently known about a topic and identify gaps or further questions. Conducting a thorough literature review can be a time-consuming process, but the effort helps establish the foundation for everything that will follow. For this part of your Course Project, you will conduct a brief literature review to find information on the question you developed in Week 2. This will provide you with experience in searching databases and identifying applicable resources.
To prepare:
To complete:
Write a 3- to 4-page literature review that includes the following:
Note: Certain aspects of conducting a standard review of literature have not yet been covered in this course. Therefore, while you are invited to critically examine any aspect of the studies (e.g., a study’s design, appropriateness of the theoretic framework, data sampling methods), your conclusion should be considered preliminary. Bear in mind that five studies are typically not enough to reflect the full range of knowledge on a particular question and you are not expected to be familiar enough with research methodology to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of all aspects of the studies.
By Day 7 of Week 5
This part of the Course Project is due. It will also be a component in your Portfolio Assignment in this course, which is due by Day 7 of Week 10.
3rd part
Course Project: Part 3—Translating Evidence Into Practice
In Part 3 of the Course Project, you consider how the evidence you gathered during Part 2 can be translated into nursing practice.
Now that you have located available research on your PICOT question, you will examine what the research indicates about nursing practices. Connecting research evidence and findings to actual decisions and tasks that nurses complete in their daily practice is essentially what evidence-based practice is all about. This final component of the Course Project asks you to translate the evidence and data from your literature review into authentic practices that can be adopted to improve health care outcomes. In addition, you will also consider possible methods and strategies for disseminating evidence-based practices to your colleagues and to the broader health care field.
To prepare:
To complete:
In a 3- to 4-page paper:
By Day 7 of Week 10
This part of the Course Project is due. It should be combined with the other two components of the Course Project and turned in as your Portfolio Assignment for this course.
Note: In addition, include a 1-page summary of your project.
For this final iteration, you will need to:
