Nursing Research Matrix

Full Answer Section

• • What are the potential mechanisms by which mobile apps like "Reset" could influence adolescent depression prevalence or severity?

3. Keywords and Databases:

• Based on your problem definition and research questions, suggest a list of relevant keywords or search terms you might use. Consider synonyms, related concepts, and variations to capture a comprehensive range of potential articles.
• Identify specific databases you plan to search, considering their scope and relevance to your topic. Options might include:
  • Nursing: CINAHL, PubMed, MEDLINE
  • Medical: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library
  • Technology: ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, Web of Science
  • Communication: Communication & Mass Media Complete, Communication Abstracts
  • Behavioral Science: PsycINFO, ERIC
  • Social Science: SAGE Journals, JSTOR, ScienceDirect

4. Matrix Outline:

• Describe the specific information you'll include in each column of your matrix to effectively demonstrate your understanding of the relevant literature. Some possibilities:
  • Citation: Author(s), year, title
  • Method: Study design, sample characteristics, data collection/analysis methods
  • Key Findings: Main results related to your research questions
  • Relevance: How the article contributes to your project background

Once you provide these details, I can offer tailored guidance on:

• Refining your search terms and databases
• Suggesting specific articles for inclusion in your matrix
• Helping you evaluate the articles for relevance and quality
• Ensuring your matrix adheres to standard formatting and APA style requirements

Remember, the goal is to build a robust and well-rounded background section that demonstrates your understanding of the existing research on your topic and justifies your proposed innovation project.

Sample Solution

I'd be glad to assist you with crafting a search strategy and matrix for your innovation project proposal background section. However, I cannot access or process external attachments like "sample matrix table & blank." To provide the most effective guidance, please provide the following details:

1. Specific Problem Definition:

• Clearly articulate the exact problem you're addressing, focusing on the prevalence of depression among adolescents in American society and the potential role of mobile app use ("Reset" app) in this context. Are you exploring the link between app use and depression incidence, specific usage patterns and depression severity, or other aspects?

2. Research Questions:

• Formulate specific questions that your literature review aims to answer. These questions will guide your search strategy and selection of relevant articles. Examples:
  • Is there a correlation between adolescent mobile app use (specifically "Reset") and depression risk or severity?
  • What types of interventions using mobile apps have been used to address depression in adolescents, and what were their outcomes?
