NUR3164 Introduction to Nursing Research and Health Informatics

Assignment 1

So, as we discussed in the Learning Plan, we are going to “dip our toes in” to the scholarly research of nursing. After you have reviewed the PowerPoints and the reading for this learning plan, I would like to challenge you to not just look at the highest read journals, but to also look at research studies from some culturally-inclusive research journals.

A big part of research is identifying quality sources ~ this would include those published by the National Institute of Health & peer-reviewed journals ~ to make sure you are comfortable with this, the focus of this assignment is going to be helping you find/ identify a variety of quality sources and begin feeling comfortable with reading them.

Assignment: There are 4 parts to this assignment:

Compile 3 scholarly sources from the Internet including one culturally based source in your specialty area/area of interest (ie. Journal of the National Medical Association, Journal of Transcultural Nursing, etc. – these are available through the EFSC library.)

Choose ONE article from these sources that provides research and data results of disparity/disparities among different groups’ health status and access to healthcare, identify this as well.to review. In your review, identify:

The research question

The PICO aspects of the question (or PICOT if you choose to include the time aspect)

For example: In the following article: Brown, T., Hargrove, T., Griffith, D. (2015). Family and Community Health. Oct.-Dec.; 38(4): 307-318. doi: 10.1097/FCH.0000000000000080 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Question: To what extent are SES, stressors, discrimination and neighborhood conditions mechanisms underlying racial/ethnic disparities in functional limitations among older men?

The question above includes the PICO elements:

Example:

P (Problem or Patient or Population) Black/hispanic men

I(intervention/indicator(s) socio-economic systems, stressors, discrimination and neighborhood conditions

C (comparison) U.S.-born black and Hispanic men compared to their white counterparts

O (outcome of interest)

Is there a link between being black/hispanic man and functional limitations

T (Time to Achieve outcome) This is an optional step

(can be something like “over 30 yrs”)

3. Identify one NANDA nursing diagnosis of your choice for a patient from the population of your article. Create a plan of care to address this ONE nursing diagnosis (think concept map), incorporating information from one of your specific research journal sources (e.g., Journal of the National Medical Association, Journal of Transcultural Nursing, etc.).?

4. Identify resources to facilitate cross-cultural communication/patient teaching with the patient from #3, who has limited English proficiency (LEP) and/or low health literacy.
