Using Three Search Techniques For A Comprehensive And...

Aveyard (2014) recommends for a comprehensive and systematic search to use three search techniques; ïÆ' ± An electronic search of databases. ïÆ' ± A hand search from the reference list of published literature identified from the electronic search. ïÆ' ± An author search. The author undertook an electronic search were used to collect the literature. Three electronic databases were used; Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medline and PsychInfo. These three databases were chosen as they are often used by nurses, allied health professionals, researchers, students and nurse educators to research their subject area (Aveyard, 2014). To make the search more effective and efficient, the advanced search was used in all three databases. Utilising the advance search setting options over the basic search setting allows the search to be made more specific (Aveyard, 2014, Moule Goodman, 2009). For an electronic search to be successful it is important to find the right key words or concepts required to retrieve the journal articles as journal articles are indexed and entered onto the databases using keywords (Aveyard, 2014). The keywords for this literature review derived from the research question and synonyms words (Schneider, Elliott, LoBiondo-Wood and Haber, 2004). The keywords identified and retrieved used a combination of the following keywords; CPR, cardiac arrest, cardiopulmonary resuscitat*, famil* and family carer*. The keywords family , witnessedShow MoreRelatedThe Need Of Integrating Lean And Six Sigma2223 Words   |  9 Pagescombination of two popular process improvement methodologies. What companies have found out is that their results are much greater using the Lean Six Sigma methodology instead of Lean or Six Sigma individually. The reason behind this conclusion is that both Lean and Six Sigma have their benefits but also their flaws whereas Lean Six Sigma just incorporates the best techniques, principles and methodologies for continuous improvement. Unique to this research is the way the integration of lean and sixRead MoreThe Information Assessment Method1038 Words   |  4 Pagesresearchers to assess the value of information: the reasons why physicians’ access or receive information, the related cognitive impacts, the types of information use and patient health benefit.

With checklists, we are able to perform simple repetitive tasks in a consistent way. Complex tasks can also be done with minimal errors when checklists are used. A checklist is a comprehensive list of important steps that need to be followed in a particular order so as to successfully complete a process.

Depending on how widely one casts the net, one can find considerable relevant work in past literature across fields. For example, researchers in the areas of library and information science have been interested for a long time in how people find material using various interfaces and databases, and these projects are not unrelated to the questions addressed by the articles in this collection (for a reviewRead MoreThe Well Established Quality Improvement Method1448 Words   |  6 Pagesresponse surface methodology (RSM), is a powerful and efficient technique to find an optimum operating condition of a response including systematic and continuous steps in the quality engineering literature.

The present study examined the reverse idea – that meta-analysis is the superior method. A literature search was conducted of meta-analysis studies for psychotherapy within the PsycINFO database. The resulting studies were further examined and classified as either primary articles or secondary articles.
