Conducting a Literature Review
For this Discussion, view the webinar in this week’s resources by a Walden University librarian on strategies to conduct a successful literature search. The webinar provides information on available databases, the use of search engines, and the selection of search terms. Then, you will conduct a literature search on research conducted in the last 5 years on the patient safety problem you identified in WEEK 1 TOPIC -DIAGNOSTIC ERRORS IN REGARDS TO PATIENT SAFETY
For the literature search, describe the following in your post:
- The databases, search engines, and search terms you used in your literature search.
- The number of research articles you found on your patient safety problem that were published in the last five years.
- The challenges you encountered locating research articles and how you overcame them.
- Who you would go to for help in your work setting if you needed help with a literature search.
