In this guide...
This guide is designed for the evidence exploration group assignment in NRSG 120: Introduction to Nursing Research at UBC's Okanagan Campus, Winter 2023. In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to identify a research question of interest, conduct a systematic (albeit limited) review of the literature by searching Medline and CINAHL, write a brief background of why your topic is important, and explore some findings related to your topic.
Instructor: Ryan Wilson
Recommended work plan:
- Spend time developing your research question (using the PICO format can help!)
- Search Medline (EBSCO) for your topic using MeSH / keywords (change results display to be sorted by relevance and to include abstracts)

- Review and select at least 2 articles
- Search CINAHL using CINAHL Headings / keywords (change display to be sorted by relevance and to include abstracts)
