Length: Two to four pages (excluding title page). The “APA Reference for Article” on page two must be formatted using APA 7th edition and double spaced. Your responses on the the rest of form are to be single spaced.

·      This assignment will use the attached “Search Strategy Form” and will include the following: Use your approved PICOT question as the title on your title page. Include a title page and reference page using APA 7th edition formatting for the six articles you found. Please download the form, fill it out, add the title page, and add the reference page for one big Word document.

• Make sure your APA is correct:
• on your title page 
• when listing references on the form
• on your reference page

·      View the videos to help you get started on searching the literature to locate research articles pertaining to your PICOT question topic.

·      To prepare for this assignment and future assignments, you will need to conduct a literature search by accessing nursing research databases located in YSU’s Maag Library’s website. You will need to search at least five nursing research databases. It will be helpful for you to start your search with the words from your PICOT question.

·      You will need to search for six single quantitative research studies regarding your topic.  Use single studies as opposed to literature reviews that contain multiple studies. You should locate current literature (within the last eight years) about your topic. 

·      Be sure all six articles you use for the rest of this course’s assignments are nursing research studies relevant to your PICOT question topic. YOU MUST USE SIX RESEARCH STUDIES/ARTICLES THAT ARE QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH STUDIES. DO NOT USE LITERATURE REVIEWS, META-ANALYSIS, EXPERT OPINION, INFORMATION ARTICLES THAT ARE NOT RESEARCH, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS NOT A QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH STUDY. 

·     Be sure all six articles you use for the rest of this course’s assignments are nursing research studies relevant to your PICOT question topic.

·      It is very important to find and use the correct research design (single quantitative) in the articles for this assignment. You will be using these articles for future assignments. If you you don’t have the correct design (single quantitative), you will receive a 17% (1/6th) deduction for each article that is incorrect for this and all future assignments.

·      If the title of your articles has the words “Review, ” “Literature Review,” or “Meta-analysis” in it, do not use the article!

·      Be sure to critically appraise the research for validity and applicability. 

·     All links must be valid links to the actual article, not just the abstract.

·      In scholarly writing, do not refer to yourself and do not use “I,” “Me,” “My,” etc. Instead of writing “I searched….,” state “A search was conducted…”
