Clinical Issue: Nursing Shortage
In this Discussion, you will transform a clinical inquiry into a searchable question in PICO(T) format, so you can search the electronic databases more effectively and efficiently. You will share this PICO(T) question and examine strategies you might use to increase the rigor and effectiveness of a database search on your PICO(T) question.
Post a brief description on nursing shortage. This clinical issue will remain the same for the entire course and will be the basis for the development of your PICOT question.
Describe nursing shortages in terms of the number of articles returned on original research and how this changed as you added search terms using your Boolean operators.
Finally, explain strategies you might make to increase the rigor and effectiveness of a database search on your PICO(T) question. Be specific and provide examples.
