Discussion: Module3
Discussion: Module3
To become a scholarly writer, one must learn to discern the differences between reliable resources and those with little credibility when gathering research, Approach each source with the mindset of needing a second opinion rather than relying on one or two journals for answers (Walden, 2019).
The Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) is an excellent source of academic literature. This database can provide for a wide range of nursing topics and keeps the researcher informed of current changes and new ideas in the nursing field (Walden, 2019). I found no difficulties in finding information on nursing topics.
The psychiatric nursing environment is forever changing; in this field, patients and their needs are becoming more complex. The family needs must be addressed and are just as important when determining and customizing treatment plans. Colleagues have had no difficulties using this database and I highly recommend it to to colleagues.
When there is a need to explore many journals on any nursing topic, CINAHL’s database has over 1200 journals with references (EBSCO.n.d). This database is highly reliable. When I was in nursing school, it served as a great tool in completing waiting assignments.

Good morning Dr. Harper,
I took the information from the article I chose and used it at work. When I obtained my resident’s life history from their families I really learned a great deal. I have always gathered biographical information from my residents but now I ask more questions about careers, job history and achievements. Now my approach in assessing my residents will be different, and I will share what I’ve learned with my healthcare team. I will also look for more journals on the subject.

Useful Database Search Engine
In my exploration of the psychiatric-primary care nurse practitioner model, I chose to explore the article authored by Dyer, J. G., Hammill, K., Regan-Kubinski, M. J., Yurick, A., & Kobert, S. (1997), titled “The psychiatric-primary care nurse practitioner: a futuristic model for advanced practice psychiatric-mental health nursing,” published in the Archives of Psychiatric Nursing. I accessed this article through PubMed, a comprehensive biomedical database widely recognized for its extensive coverage of scholarly literature in health and medicine.
While searching for this article, I did not encounter any specific difficulties. However, the challenge could arise in refining search terms to pinpoint the desired topic, given the vastness of the PubMed database and the need for relevant keywords.
PubMed would benefit my colleagues, especially those in the nursing and mental health sectors. Its comprehensive coverage allows healthcare professionals to access articles related to psychiatric-mental health nursing, fostering evidence-based practice and supporting ongoing research initiatives.
I wholeheartedly recommend PubMed to colleagues due to its user-friendly interface, extensive coverage, and esteemed reputation within the academic and healthcare communities. It is a valuable resource for staying abreast of the latest research developments and evidence-based practices in nursing and related fields.

I did not adjust my filters. However, removing the dash and searching psychiatric primary care nurse practitioners in older adults gave me a broader range with 159 results and more up-to-date journals. The following articles caught my attention:

Hello Anganatte,
Your thoughtful insights into PubMed’s relevance to psychiatric-mental health nursing are commendable. Indeed, PubMed is a comprehensive database of peer-reviewed literature covering almost all biomedical fields and life sciences (National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2023). It is a free database containing over 36 million citations and biomedical literature abstracts. Although it does not offer full-text journal articles, it presents links to the full text when available from other sources. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy for users to search topics, which probably explains why you did not encounter notable challenges while navigating the site. However, as you have rightly pointed out, refining search terms to get the most relevant literature can be challenging and time-consuming. Notwithstanding, PubMed provides users with filters for refining search results by article type, date of publication, text availability, among others. Such tools provide you with a systematic method of refining your search queries, making the results more focused and manageable.
I concur with your recommendation of PubMed to colleagues given that its comprehensive coverage is invaluable for health care professionals seeking evidence-based resources. It offers extensive coverage of existing literature on a given topic and is considered one of the most accessible and highly authoritative sources in biomedical and life sciences literature. Its user-friendly interface allows users to navigate the site easily, and its search filter tools make it possible to fine-tune search results to get the most relevant ones. Your discussion is very articulate but I noticed that you did not use in-text citations for the references provided. Attributing information to their sources adds credibility to the information provided (American Psychological Association, 2020). All in all, your discussion is very enlightening and highlights the importance of databases in supporting evidence-based practice.

Using the Walden Library
Article Citation
Efraim, M., Kirwan, C. B., Muncy, N. M., Tucker, L. A., Kwon, S., & Bailey, B. W. (2021). Acute after-school screen time in children decreases impulse control and activation toward high-calorie food stimuli in brain regions related to reward and attention. Brain Imaging and Behavior, 15(1), 177–189. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11682-019-00244-yLinks to an external site.
I chose this article because my primary experience is with children in behavioral health and as a mother, cub scout den mother, and adult that frequently works with children I was interested in impulsive control when not directly related to a known disorder. As a relevant interest to both my professional and personal life I have searched similar variations on this topic several times before using google, which gave me some interesting results but rarely evidence-based studies and no peer reviewed articles to my knowledge. These results have their place and can be useful, however, I believe that when looking to find the most reliable information it is important to search for peer reviewed articles. This is because the purpose of the peer-review process is to evaluate the validity of the research and article, a reviewer can influence what gets published if their opinion of the validity of the research is supported (Pearson, 2023). With that in mind I wanted to see the peer reviewed articles on this topic.
Database identification: Difficulties?
To find this article I first decided which database to use. Initially I went to the Walden University Library and chose databases by topic: Nursing. After pulling up the nursing databases I looked past the “best section”, which is the most highly recommended databases, to find the APA Psychinfo database. I chose this database because I wanted peer reviewed articles specific to mental health. Psychinfo database is the leading psychology-related literature database, and the most used in academic settings in North America (Bedi & Kumar, 2023). I did not have any issues while searching this database, through the Walden Library search platform EBSCOhost, I simply typed ‘impulse control in children’ into the search bar, chose peer-reviewed journal articles only and then narrowed my results to the past five years. I ended up with 32 results and found more than one article worth reading. I intend on using this database again in the future as I found it easy to navigate and it provided multiple relevant articles.
Usefulness and recommendations of the Database
I believe the Psychinfo database would be useful to my peers and colleagues who are pursuing their PMHNP, because it is the leading psychology database, it is easy to use and provides many peer-reviewed relevant articles (Bedi & Kumar, 2023). It may or may not be relevant to those pursuing FNPs, however, I believe it could be useful depending on the topic of research.
To do a comparison of search results from different databases I conducted a brief experiment by initiating a search using the same search term and criteria in different databases and search platforms.
I first searched the psychology combined multidata base, through the EBSCOhost search platform, which included APA psychinfo as well as APA PsycArticles, APA PsycBooks, APA PsycExtra. In this multidatabase search I only found four additional articles, and while these might be useful, I think it speaks to the quality of the individual database, Psychinfo’s, capabilities to provide responses. Next, I used the Thoreau tool, which is the general multidatabase search bar at the top of the library page, to do a search of most of the 100 library databases Walden University subscribes (Walden University, n.d.). This general multidata base search produced 153 articles when using the same search criteria as the other searches. Some of these additional 100+ results might be relevant to my search. However, in the top three results I got the article Role of Impulse Oscillometry in Assessing Asthma Control in Children. This finding speaks to me of the usefulness in using subject specific databases.
During my exploration of the databases and Walden’s Library resources I found that Walden primarily uses the EBSCOhost search platform (database vendor), this is the default search platform when searching from the Walden library. However, I was able to use some other search platforms when accessing them directly from their home website and using the institutional access through Walden University. When attempting to search from different platforms, such as Proquest, I was able to search for articles but did not always have access to the articles. This was still useful because I was able to go back and find the same article, I wanted through the EBSCOhost search database. I did have access to some of the articles in full on ProQuest and the search platform gave me a few articles that were not generated through EBSCOhost. I was also able to use the institutional access to search Ovid, which provided me with different top results, most of which I could not read but which I was able to then find access to on EBSCOhost. One might say I could have initially found them on EBSCOhost and skipped this step, which is possible. However, when wading through many results for a search phrase or repeatedly narrowing the phrase down I found it was useful to see what other search platforms presented as the most relevant.
I also tested open-source search platforms. One called CORE, might be useful in searching for articles you have found but do not have access to, when conducting a general search on “impulse control in children” the results were overwhelming, non-specific and I was unable to narrow them down. Alternatively, I found the ScienceDirect open-access option useful in searching and identifying relevant articles. This search platform was difficult to find initially, but I can link it below for anyone interested.
Conclusion
In conclusion, there are many useful databases at our disposal. I used the Psychinfo database through our Walden Library to find the article listed above. I believe this database will be useful to my colleagues because it is the leading psychological database (Bedi &Kumar, 2023). I recommend the Psychinfo database because of its ease of use and wealth of relevant peer reviewed articles. However, I think it is important to search multiple databases within and outside of our university resources to be able to find the best and most useful articles for our studies and growth. During my search I discovered there are open-source peer reviewed databases, such as the ScienceDirect open-access option that I would recommend using to get a more well-rounded view of the available data.

Excellent job Hillary!!
I’m so glad you included the PsycInfo database. It is often overlooked, and it is a great resource!
Your point about searching for peer-reviewed articles is a great one. It is critical to evaluate the findings, and this is one thing to look for in the search.
Have you used Boolean terms with your search? It helps to narrow the findings and would be very beneficial for future searches.

Thank you!
I only used the one Boolean search box in this search, typing ‘impulse control in children”. I have experimented with breaking the term into ‘impulse control” AND “children” in two boolean term search boxes as well as substituting “children or adolescents or youth or child or teenager” . With the second iteration I was given 16 additional articles mostly pertaining to adolescents, which might be useful. Then I tried “impulse control” AND “management” AND “children” and narrowed the results down to 9. I think separating out the search into boolean terms and using the different search boxes will likely help significantly with longer or broader search terms I might use in the future! Thank you,

Area of Interest
The peer reviewed article I selected was Does Continuing Education in Gerontology Lead to Changes in Nursing Practice? The specialty I am pursuing will be adolescents to gerontology. I have worked in geriatrics for over a decade. Being employed in nursing homes and hospices has drawn me to this unique population. I have witnessed healthcare staff and families frustrated with elderly because they might not understand the process of gerontology. “Those age 65+ represent 50% of hospitalizations, 85% of home care visits, and more than 90% of nursing home resident.” (Barbara & Fay, 2009).
Database Used
In weekly learning resources, we were provided with databases. I chose MEDLINE with full text in the Walden library. MEDLINE provides “Millions of references to journal articles in life sciences with a concentration on biomedicine, (Walden University, n.d.-a). MEDLINE referred me to EBSCOhost which was used for the above peer-reviewed article. I did not run into any difficulties searching for this article. This database was extremely easy to navigate. I made sure I took advantage of the filters and picked peer reviewed to narrow down my search.
This database would be useful to my colleagues related to the journal articles in life sciences. I would recommend this database because it has many filters. I would recommend MEDLINE as a database to use because it allows the scholarly writer to use Boolean operators. Boolean operators can help my colleagues reduce or expand the number of records by maximizing keywords (Walden University, n.d.-b).

Initial Post
Using the Walden Library
The article “Supporting Successful Implementation of Public Health Interventions: protocol for a Realist Synthesis” aims to address the gap between the development of evidence-based public health interventions and their successful implementation (MacDonald et al., 2016). This article was found in CINAHL database through the Walden University library. CINAHL provides vast databases of nursing and allied health literature (Walden University Library, n.d). One major challenge I faced was that locating a high-quality peer-reviewed article took time and demanded refined search terms to find the most relevant results. The search functionality and tools are sophisticated, and it takes time to get acclimatized. Moreover, users need institutional subscriiptions to use the database, which means that individuals without institutional affiliations cannot access the database.
This database would be useful to my colleagues because it contains variable resources for anyone working in public health, including practitioners, researchers, and policymakers (Forister & Blessing, 2020). The database is a targeted resource containing over 500 full text indexed journals related to nursing and allied health issues. It offers a wide range of articles including peer-reviewed ones, which makes it a useful tool to anyone interested in health-related matters.
I would recommend the use of CINAHL because it has tools and features such as a medical thesaurus, which aids in refining search queries relevant to health sciences and medicine. Furthermore, its user-friendly interface is designed to streamline the search process. For example, the drop-down menus on the main search screen allow a user to select the Boolean operators to use when connecting terms to search for. It also has many clickable options that allow the user to refine and narrow down the search results. These clickable features enable users to filter results by specific criteria such as date of publishing, peer-reviewed works only, and specific areas of interest such as advanced practice nursing.

Main Post:
Introduction
During the COVID-19 outbreak, many of our patients in the ICU died. Our intensivists were at a loss and were using conventional treatment methods for unconventional cases that still resulted in loss of life. COVID-19 treatments required deviations from standards of care. In conjunction with the intensivist, my hospital administrators then decided to start an ECMO program (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation). Beginning this program from the ground up was a challenge. Still, in the end, it was accomplished with extensive nursing staff training to ensure the program’s success and decrease patient mortality rates.
Database
After accessing Walden University’s Library, I used CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) to search for my article. According to Walden University Library (n.d.), “CINAHL provides a large collection of journals and eBooks on many nursing and allied health topics” (Walden University Library, n.d.a). I chose the peer-reviewed article Nursing Management of a Patient with COVID-19 Receiving ECMO: A Case Report. I typed in ECMO, and 4326 articles were found. I clicked on peer-reviewed scholarly journals and narrowed my search to the past five years. Although I did not have difficulties accessing CINAHL, I did have difficulty locating this article. I tried several subject terms on ECMO before retrieving the subject that piqued my interest.
Recommendation
My colleagues would benefit from the CINAHL database, which provides targeted sources of academic material in allied health and nursing, increasing the likelihood that their search results in “qualitative evidence” (Wright et al., 2015). For in-depth study on difficult subjects, CINAHL’s hundreds of professional publications and scholarly journals on nursing are a great resource (Walden University Library, n.d. b). I would recommend CINAHL, but not as the only database to search for scholarly, peer-reviewed articles. CINAHL is a single database; therefore, material available in other databases may be missed. I used CINAHL while in undergraduate school, which helped me with my writing assignments. This is a great resource for anyone looking for systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case studies (Walden University Library, n.d.a).

Hi Erica,
This is a great topic and I’m wondering if you were involved in the ECMO development and implementation at your hospital?
CINAHL is a great database for nursing. Given this topic, did you also try other databases? Did the article meet your needs?
FYI – I also recommend PsycInfo for PMHNP students because it provides excellent information for this role.
Thank you!
Dr. Harper

Hi Dr. Harper,
I was not involved in the development phase of the ECMO project. We had people who were outsourced to help with implementation.
Nonetheless, I was grateful to be asked to be among the first few people to use the ECMO machine and care for our patient population
requiring ECMO. I did try PubMed, Medline, and ProQuest. I was able to find the article in PubMed and Medline, but I could not find the
article in ProQuest. Although I could not find the same article in ProQuest, they did have other articles relevant to my search. This article met
my basic needs, but I found another article more specific to acute care nurse practitioners and the training they receive to care for patients on
ECMO. The article is titled Acute Care Nurse Practitioner-Led Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Simulation Training. However, I could
only view the abstract rather than the full article. I also searched Google Scholar but could only view the abstract there.
Dr. Harper, I am not aware of the PsycInfo database. Would this database be only for PMHNPs, or would it also apply to Acute Care NPs?

Hi Erica,
Thanks for letting me know about the ECMO implementation. Very interesting for sure.
Regarding the PsychInfo database – It is not just for psyc NP’s. It relates to any mental health issue. If you were looking for an article relating to depression and chronic illness, you would have some good results.
Hope this helps!

Database
PubMed is a very broad platform full of biomedical and life sciences research. , PubMed was developed and is maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)Links to an external site., at the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM)Links to an external site., located at the National Institutes of Health (NIH)Links to an external site.. In attempt to find the data that I was looking for I used key words such as COVID-19, Telehealth, and nursing while limiting my search to research done within the past 3 years. There were some difficulties to finding the specific data that I wanted, maybe due to COVID still being a very youthful subject in terms of years present. My main focus was to find the benefits of Telehealth as it relates to treatment and outcome of mental health patients. Though mental health issues have been present for years, COVID-19 seemed to bring the topic to the forefront for all age groups and demographics. There are a number of databased to choose from, PubMed has been my choice for a number of years as I always seem to find exactly what I need. Information overload can sometimes reduce our capacity to function effectively. Though it is important to search multiple sources, having some that you are comfortable with could help eliminate the stress of this overall process.

Hi Robert,
Do you work in Telehealth now or plan on working Telehealth when you graduate?
Some strategies that I used when researching my discussion post was using the filters to my advantage. For example, I chose Peer reviewed scholarly journals, age related, and publication type. Good Job, using keywords for your database search skills that was provided in our modules (Walden University Library, 2023). I found this lesson very useful in helping advance as a scholarly writer
ProQuest may be another database you could possibly use in the future. ProQuest “allows serious research of virtually any research topic from multiple perspectives and across multiple formats,” (ProQuest, 2023).

Hi Robert,
Telehealth is definitely gaining popularity for practice, so your point about the integration of Covid into the search is a good one. Did you consider PsycInfo database for this topic? I would be interesting to see what is available there.
Thanks!

Peer Review Article and Database Utilized
I chose to review the journal article. “What Do Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners Need To Know About Trauma?” (Wheeler, 2022). I used the CINAHL (Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health Literature) database to search titles about Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). This article was of particular interest as it details the importance of a PMHNP being knowledgeable about levels of traumatic experiences and how those can ultimately exhibit themselves in a variety of mental health conditions. These traumas can manifest in different degrees of trauma categorization that some may recover from, and others develop mental health conditions due to the inability of the nervous to stabilize itself after trauma inflicted (Wheeler, 2022).
About CINAHL
CINAHL is one of the most user-friendly, reliable database engines to yield a large pool of nursing literature (Walden University Library, n.d.). Conducting this search was easy, and Walden University Library has a great YouTube video when first entering the CINAHL site to provide a quick synopses on navigating the CINAHL database (Walden University Library, n.d.). The advanced search criteria can narrow your search by utilizing key phrases, designated time frames, and article-type specifications.
Why CINAHL is Beneficial to Colleagues
` This database would benefit my colleagues as it offers extensive nursing and allied health literature, including journal dissertations, nursing books, practice standards in nursing, clinical trials, and audiovisuals (Barry University, 2023). Limiting search results to yield evidence-based literature within a certain period allows you to gain knowledge on up-to-date data. In nursing, we love acronyms; however, whenever conducting your search in CINAHL, it is essential to avoid them, as search results will be minimal (University of Nevada, n.d.). Overall, I highly recommend utilizing CINAHL to conduct research.

I work in the dialysis healthcare setting. It is imperative as nurses that we provide the top quality of care to our patients to improve their quality of life (QOL). In a qualitative study shows patients that exhibits hypotensive episodes during treatments QOL is decreased (Kuipers et al., 2019). The database I used for my peer review article was CINAHL Plus. I did not have any difficulties searching this article. However, there were not many results but enough for my narrowed Boolean search. I would recommend this database as it is a reliable source with academic journals provided by Walden University Library and easily accessible and user friendly.

Module 3 Discussion
Using the Walden Library
Article Citation
Flaherty E, O’Connor S, Steltenpohl CN, Preiss M, Volckaert A, Pepin RL. (2023). Geriatric Interprofessional Team Transformation for Primary Care overview. Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. doi:10.1111/jgs.18637Links to an external site.
I chose this article based on the current needs at our primary care office and my current position. I also found another particularly useful article during my search that I have saved to dive deeper into later. My office is still in the infancy stages of a successful Chronic Care Management program. The article that I chose is a training model that contains three training components that promote a “team transformation process (Flaherty et al., 2023, p.1)” with the aim to improve patient care. This is especially useful to me during this process because we are currently expanding our program to include more team members that will need to be trained. This training model will hopefully be a resource to help guide us through this process.
Database Used to Find Article
I did not have any difficulty finding this article. I went to the Walden Library and chose research by subject. From there I chose to research the subject of nursing. I then searched for Chronic Care Management. The search automatically redirected me to EBSCO. I further narrowed the search by including the key words: primary care or primary health care or primary healthcare, united states or America or USA or U.S, and Medicare. I then filtered my results further by only including peer-reviewed scholarly journals from 2023. There were only six results left by the time I filtered the results to what I needed. I did not have any difficulties finding an article using this database, although to view the full article, I had to use the link to find the source outside the Walden Library. The first time I tried the link it failed, but the second time I tried it did direct me to the journal article.
Database Usefulness to Colleagues
I do believe this database would be useful to my colleagues. As our office is continuously busy, I feel that being able to narrow down the search to only a few relevant articles can save valuable time. However, if more results were needed, you could include additional years. You could also use Walden Library’s Thoreau to search across multiple discipline’s databases to increase your search results across multiple disciplines to widen your results (Walden University Library. (n.d.).
