Literature Review Assignment Template Student Name: Jessica Briones Date of Submission: September 16, 2017 A. Discussion of Database Search 1. Search terms (1-word term plus a “2-word” term) 1-word term: Chemotherapy 2-word term: “Childhood Cancer” 2. Summary of database search (up to 500 words): My two-word search term is “childhood cancer” and my one-word search term is chemotherapy. My initial search was through Scopus. I searched both of the terms using the Boolean Operator “AND” to ensure that my search retrieved sources that had both of my search terms. For my two-word term, I added quotation marks around it because I wanted to search the two words together. The range of years for publications that appeared were from 2017 until the year 1958 with a total of 49 different years in between. A total of 6,790 articles were shown. After I limited my search to only nursing, articles, and articles in press, my total number came down to 113. After I limited my search to the years 2003-2017, only 89 articles remained. After performing a Google search on the author with the highest cited article using the specified format, I retrieved a total of 1,460 hits. In Google Scholar, I retrieved 437 hits. On PubMed, I initially searched term 1 with quotation marks around it along with my search term 2 using the Boolean Operator “AND” and was able to retrieve 6,778 articles. When I performed the same search again but without quotation marks, I retrieved a total of 10,749
