Is there stronger evidence available?

Go back to the literature and find 2-3 additional strong prime research articles (e.g. RCT or literature review) to support your research question.

1. Use your search strategy from Week 4
2. Find two to three additional research articles on your topic (Prime articles). You will now have a total of 4-5 prime research articles.
3. Fill out the research tool from module 3 for two articles and submit.

You now have 4-5 prime articles on your research question

Reflect on the evidence you have found related to your research question. Is there stronger evidence available that could potentially be more useful?

Since my original search criteria yielded only two results, I had to open up the search filters to get more results that were still relevant to my research question. To achieve that, I removed the 5-year time limit as initially stipulated. This search resulted in two additional articles. Please see the attached document.

Yes, Confidence and understanding will absolutely play a role when dealing with barriers when it comes to managing chronic wounds and nonadherent patients.

Jennifer,

How did you come up with the second set of queries? Are they based on the results of the first query? Did you try to mesh the two search terms using and/or/not operators? Was this a Google search, or did you use one of the research databases?

I originally had a few terms that I was using and then just used them in different terms

Wound management, interchanged with wound care, chronic wounds , venous leg ulcer
Adherence interchanged with non-adherence, noncompliance barriers, Patient knowledge
and essentially just changed these words are with AND

[Jennifer]

I used Google Scholar for all of the research articles
