Literature Search Strategy

Qualifications for best available research, consist of medical (health science) research, which reigns supreme because it most likely will yield accurate, unbiased and information, with multiple practice questions for specific patients and or patient groups. The research is large and effective in relation to prevalence, treatment, assessment, disorders and patient populations. The evidence should yield systematic

If K = number of groups in the study, and df = K - 1 then K = df+1 = 2+1 = 3. So there are 3 groups in the study. There are N - K number of participants so N = K+147 = 3+147 = 150 participants.

The exclusion criteria included BMI below 25%, those currently pregnant or nursing, a loss of ten pounds or more within the last month, and those with identified medical issues and unable to obtain medical approval. In addition, a delay of one allowed the subjects to obtain required medical clearance. Failing to acquire medical approval, eight women could not participate in this study. Four others had difficulties committing to the time. This dictated the sample size.

3) Inclusion Criteria- Hospital re-admission after six months, follow-up care, qualitative study, RCT, clinical trials. I searched English written articles between the years of 2011 and 2017.

In the end, there were 257 students who completed the experiments, which means the results were concluded from a total of 1542 subjects and responses.

The first study to be considered is a qualitative study which spanned a 25 year period and looked at 131

3. Sample Population: Who exactly was used in the study? How many? (Be as specific as possible.)

2. Subjects who will meet following criteria at the time of the screening. (At least two)

Cue based feeding refers to nipple feedings that are initiated in reaction to an infant's behavioral cues and comes to an end when the infant demonstrates satiation (Drenckpohl, Dudas, et al, 2009). The aim of the Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is to provide mothers with sufficient factual information regarding superior infant nutrition, therapeutic and immunological

4) Do your alternate search strategies narrow or expand the material expected to be returned in each search? My first alternate search strategy of using the “AND” Boolean operator narrowed my search material results the most. My second alternate search strategy of using the “OR” Boolean operator expanded my

The inclusion/exclusion criteria were appropriate as the inclusion criteria seeks to limit the study population specifically to patients who are old enough, with an established fever, and already on antimicrobial therapy to demonstrate suspected infection.

To be successful, the mother should initiate breastfeeding as soon as possible after delivery (Nagtalon-Ramos, 2014). The mother should be taught the many breastfeeding positions by healthcare staff (Nagtalon-Ramos, 2014). These positions are as follows: Cradle hold, cross cradle or transitional hold, clutch or football hold, and the side lying position (Nagtalon-Ramos, 2014). Allowing the infant to consume no other food or drink other than breast milk will help to promote successful breastfeeding (Nagtalon-Ramos, 2014). Furthermore, having the mother and baby together twenty-four hours a day and breastfeeding on demand will assist in successful breastfeeding

It outlines the objective of the article, methods, and results. For this study, the authors retrieved their data from the Chicago Infant Mortality Study (CIMS). Death certificates were obtained, death scenes were investigated, and parents were interviewed of babies who died suddenly to determine what risk factors were present and possibly contributed to death. Data was analyzed for 260 SIDS cases and 260 matched living controls. The study is reported to be the largest U.S. case-controlled study to ever be performed. The research discovered that pacifier use decreased the risk of SIDS by as much as 90%, however, the etiology of how the pacifier works as a protective mechanism is still unknown.

Search was conducted in the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Library using search engine: PubMed, Embase, and CINHAL. In addition, the internet was searched to locate articles that are published by professional nursing organizations and government agencies. Finally, a hand search was conducted by reading through the citation from the online literature result. The time frame was from 2011 to 2016. Inclusion/Exclusion

While NMES in the treatment of dysphagia is a relatively new clinical practice, NMES itself is not. In physical and occupational therapy, electrical stimulation of the trunk and limbs has been a successful and well-documented component of rehabilitation (Clark, Lazarus, Arvedson, Schooling, & Frymark 2009). However, generalizing the possible benefits of NMES across disciplines to the swallowing mechanism is difficult because the oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal systems are unique in structure and function. Regardless of these apparent differences, Defabrizio
