Introduction
A search strategy is a combination of key terms for retrieving the accurate outcome. It is used for searching a database. Usually, physicians are encouraged for locating their answers of the queries related to clinics by a literature search approach based on evidence. Six clinical queries of various medical situations observed in primary care prepared. A sequence of experimented searches for answering every question organised on three common advocated database of medical. The search results are compared from a PICO framework that is ‘patient, intervention, comparison and outcome’ to question with the use of various combinations of the elements of PICO. The results are also compared by doing searches with the use of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), text words or combining both. The documentation of all searches was with the use of saved search strategies and screenshots. The answers were found to every six questions with the use of PICO framework.
Research database search based on medical is usually perceived as very easy like general internet search, and self-searching skill is acquired by few physicians. They are maybe unable to structuring their question as an answerable form; answers may vary as per the words that are used by them for searching the database. The development of search strategy is by a sequence of
ainstorming sessions with four research team members, two from EBM consultant team (SM &CJ) while two from the li
arian team (RH & AH) that the principal investigator coordinates.
Background
Database selection
The selected database included: TRIP database, Cochrane and PubMed as most of the EBM guides recommended them physicians refe
ed them highly. There is free availability of such databases except for the TRIP database, they are searchable very easily and described with self as update (Ba
oso-Sousa et al., 2018). A centralised evaluation is provided by these databases that the clinical editors choose to evaluate the information validity. Therefore, a nice combination of observed gold practice based on evidence (Cochrane Li
ary), comprehensive medical search engine (PubMed) and pre-appraised source filtered by high-quality (TRIP database) is going to be valuable for developing search strategy (Li, Jiang & Yang, 2018).
PICO framework
The searchers are helped by the PICO framework for achieving relevant outcome of great precision. Clinical questions are formatted in four components: P for population, I for intervention, C for comparison and O for outcome (Roy-Hubara, Shoval & Sturm, 2019).
The PICOT question: Is in hospital system electronic medical record for medication administration reduces medication e
ors compared with paper bag?
Clinical question
The research team has identified six questions categorising it into PICO framework. Such questions were selected as they are generally chronic and acute illnesses observed by the family physicians while practicing (Wang et al., 2019). Again they have general asked type of questions like therapeutic and diagnostic questions and also different groups of patient are represented by them like infant, senior citizens, women, men etc.
Search strategy
Developing a search strategy was for covering two questions, i.e., asking the co
ect questions and to acquire the evidence. Keywords used dependently on the elements of PICO used in various combinations. Boolean operators, subject headings, truncation and filters were the search techniques that were utilised. Truncation is refe
ed to the shortening a search term deliberately generally at the root by using wildcard characters for retrieving work variants because of the variety in tenses or language (Costanzo et al., 2015). Searches were restricted to abstract and title. While many articles were retrieved by using search strategy searches were limited to controlled trials which are randomised meta-analysis and systematic reviews. Withdrawn or repeated articles from every database were not utilised to analyse. Ten years old articles were omitted unless no systematic reviews were there recently. Articles chosen for relevance after checking were summarised and combined.
Selection of articles
Two reviewers conducted the chosen title of the team, and a third independent reviewer resolved any disagreement by decision or discussion based on a consensus. Reasons for not selecting article were given in EndNote. Screenshot of every strategy was taken for documenting (Scells et al., 2017).
Outcomes
The main outcome was the answers to the questions that each database retrieved. Secondary outcomes are the...
