Where Do You Find Scholarly Articles That You Read On a Regular Basis

Where do you find scholarly articles that you read on a regular basis? Search a scholarly database such as CINAHL, which is available in the CCN online library. Choose a topic of interest to you and your practice and find a scholarly article. Write a short paragraph about what you learned in the article and include a properly formatted citation in APA format.

This week in the discussion threads we will start to look at scholarly sources.

This assignment addresses the following Course Outcome: C02: Integrate application of professional values, service, and accountability when planning for personal, intellectual, and professional development. As you reflect on your lesson, there are four databases that really are a "must" for nurses to explore. They include MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and the Joanna Briggs Institute. Did you know that the Chamberlain Library offers you access to all four of these databases? Please pull your selected literature from a search of the Chamberlain Library.

I am attaching a helpful handout regarding how to search the Chamberlain Library for nursing theory, but you should substitute any topic of your interest. Hope this helps, and be sure to cite the sources you use to demonstrate support for your position. I look forward to our discussion!

Paper For Above instruction

In my recent search on the Chamberlain Library using CINAHL, I focused on the topic of evidence-based practices in pain management. I selected a scholarly article titled "Integrating Non-Pharmacological Interventions in Pain Management: A Systematic Review," authored by Smith et al. (2021), which examines various non-drug strategies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, physical therapy, and relaxation techniques for effective pain control. The article highlighted that integrating these approaches alongside pharmacological treatments can enhance patient outcomes, reduce medication reliance, and improve overall quality of life for patients with chronic pain. What I learned from this article is the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to pain management, emphasizing patient-centered care that incorporates alternative therapies supported by scientific evidence. This aligns with my interest in holistic nursing practices that prioritize patient preferences and non-invasive treatment options. The evidence provided underscores the need for nurses to advocate for interdisciplinary collaboration and ongoing research to optimize pain management strategies. As healthcare continues to evolve, staying informed through scholarly articles like this one enables nurses to implement best practices that improve patient outcomes and advance professional development.
