Construct a well-built question is to use the PICO(T) model before looking for resources. This practice improves:
- search results
- clarifies the clinical problem you are attempting to research
- saves time locating materials.
T = Time (sometimes this is optional as well!)
Selecting your topic
Looking for a research topic?
Not sure where to start?
Try browsing the table of contents or recent articles from journals in your field
After selecting a topic, frame this into a question format, as it will help you determine the key concepts: population, intervention and outcome. You will then use these concepts in your database search.
Steps for locating scholarly resources for nursing and health science students:
2. PubMed & PubMed Central
