Assignment Instructions (Step-by-Step)Step 1: One-Minute Video

Create a short video (approximately one minute) in which you explain:

• Your specific, narrowed research question
• Example:
• Too broad: Mobile Health
• More focused: How can mobile health apps improve medication adherence in patients with mental health conditions?
• Why this topic is important to nursing practice, healthcare, or patient outcomes
• The keywords you initially used and any additional keywords you discovered as you refined your searches

Step 2: CINAHL Database Search

• Access the CINAHL database through the Mercy University library.
• Conduct several trial searches using different combinations of keywords and limiters (for example: full-text, peer-reviewed, last five years).
• Identify a combination that yields 2550 relevant articles.
• Take a screenshot that clearly shows your search terms, limiters, and number of results.
• Insert this screenshot into your document.

Step 3: PubMed Database Search

• Repeat the same process in PubMed.
• Conduct multiple searches using different keyword combinations and limiters.
• Identify a search that yields 2550 relevant results.
• Take a screenshot showing your search terms, limiters, and results.
• Insert this screenshot into your document.

Step 4: Google Scholar Search

• Log into Mercy Universitys Google Scholar before searching.
• Locate one scholarly article related to your topic that did not appear on the first page of results in either your CINAHL or PubMed searches.
• Provide a correctly formatted APA 7th edition reference citation for this article in your document.

Step 5: APA Student Title Page

• At the beginning of your document, include a correctly formatted APA 7th edition student title page for the paper you would write based on your searches.
• The title page must include:
• A working title
• Your name
• Institutional affiliation
