This guide has been created to assist NUR253/254 students in researching for the Vulnerable Populations Project. We also have general Nursing and EBP research guides that you might find helpful.
In this guide you will find resources and tips for finding background information for your population group, the challenges they are facing, and the current support system they have access to. You will also find peer reviewed research articles from CINAHL and MEDLINE databases, expert opinions and guidelines from organizations, state and government agencies. All these resources will help and inspire you to work on improving healthcare outcomes for your patients. Please keep in mind that research is like detective work. It takes patience and attention to details to collect and assess lots of information which will help you to make informed decisions.
