Conducting a Literature Review

For this Discussion, view the webinar in this week’s resources by a Walden University librarian on strategies to conduct a successful literature search. The webinar provides information on available databases, the use of search engines, and the selection of search terms. Then, you will conduct a literature search on research conducted in the last 5 years on the patient safety
problem you identified in Week 1.

Post the following:
For the literature search, describe the following in your post:

• The databases, search engines, and search terms you used in your literature search
• The number of research articles you found on your patient safety problem that were published in the last year
• The challenges you encountered locating research articles and how you overcame them
• Who you would go to for help in your work setting if you needed help with a literature search
Note: Post a three paragraph (at least 350 words) response. Be sure to use evidence, in-text citations, and essay-level writing skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames. Use the writing resources to develop your post.
