Formulating your research question
Before you can start searching, you need to know what to search! So, you need to create a research question. What do you want to learn? Your assignment is to research and provide information and resources on what an RN should consider when providing culturally sensitive care to a member of an ethnic group.
To support your research question, use Scholarly Resources (or peer-reviewed). Your topics could be one of the following:
- AIDS/HIV or other communicable diseases (malaria & parasitic diseases, Influenza, Ebola, meningitis)
- Access to Health Care
- Nutrition (Diabetes, obesity, malnutrition)
- Poverty
- Conflict and violence impacts on health care
- Health Education
Once you have your topic, country, and research question resolved, now brainstorm about keywords from your question. What are the terms you wish to search.
