Ond, rydyn ni'n gwybod i'n gwybod i'r vlog oherwydd rydyn ni'n fawr yn ei wneud rydyn ni'n bwysig iawn i'r ddeimlo'r camp. I know I struggled, I struggled first year. I actually didn't know I was searching wrong until I actually went to my university library and said to the librarian, do you know what, I'm searching these articles but I'm not coming up with anything and I can't find anything, I can't find what I'm looking for, what am I doing wrong? And she literally showed me these couple of simple things and it just completely changed the way I searched forever. And I was just like, what? I've been doing it wrong all this time. So I'm doing this video to help other people out because I'm sure everybody is probably doing what I was doing and hopefully it's going to help you and this is going to make your assignment writing so much easier in the future, fingers crossed. So following on from that, I'm going to do a screen record on my laptop and talk you through it bit by bit on what to do using the Cinell search. So first thing that I just wanted to mention about database searching is use a wide variety of different databases. So go on to Cinell, Cochrane, Medline, even Google Scholar, all these different places to search for different journal articles or research papers, anything you want to find. I'll put the links to a few databases below so you can have a look at those and start searching. First things first, you want to open your Cinell complete and I'm just firstly going to show what I was doing wrong because I'm guaranteed someone out there is doing the exact same thing I was doing. So what I was doing in my previous assignment in first year, I did Chlamydia and I wanted to do Chlamydia on young people. So I was searching Chlamydia in the top bar and then underneath it says and so you want to search with young people. Yeah and then press search and then I was going down to the bottom and just searching all Chlamydia and young people in any keyword. Search databases and it only comes up with three and this is why I was tearing my hair out because I kept doing this and I kept doing this. I was like Chlamydia and sexual health in young people is massive. There's hundreds of research out there. It's crazy that there's nothing and I just I couldn't believe that there was no research so I was getting these results. I was getting really frustrated about it and that's when I decided to go into the library. This is how she told me to search. So let's delete searches. Let's start again. I've deleted my search. I'm going to start over and show you exactly what the librarian taught me. So you want to put your search main search topic at the top and press search. Don't put anything else in the other search boxes. Chlamydia search database. So as you can see I've now got 300 here 351 results. So now I'm going to do a completely separate search. I'm going to search for young yeah let's have young adults search that and then your young adult is at the top. Also there's a little box here. If you click on that it actually gives you the sort of definition of what that subject is. That's really good to look at so you can have a look and see if that's actually what you want to search. So press young adult search database and as you can see that's 200,000 results for that. So we want to combine these two now. We want to combine young adult with chlamydia. So select all and then you're going to press search with and because that's going to combine them and do a wide search with both those keywords in there. So now I get 47 so that's a bit better than three than what I was searching and then you just go through all of your list and see if there's any articles there that you can find. Also you can add on searches. So instead of young adult you might try here you go young adults or adolescents teenagers. So it'll do a wider search with those. Let's just see what that brings up. There was also found. Let's try youth. Let's just add youth. Let's try adolescents. Actually adolescents might be a better one. Let's try adolescents. So I'm going to just narrow it down again. Tick that. Adolescents and chlamydia. Search with and and now I've got 106. So that's a little bit more than I did that did get and it looks like I'm starting to find what I actually want. So it's all about finding keywords. So just use short brief keywords. Narrow it down. Use alternate keywords. So if you're looking for young people or children you know find different words for that like adolescents, young adults, young people, youths, children, junior, I'm not sure, teenagers. It's about finding different keywords and just searching each one until you find your best result. That's just the one thing the one main thing that I was going wrong with. I was literally searching completely wrong but just that small tweak that small change and it brings up better results, more results, narrows it down. Also on the left here you can pick geography so you can pick UK and narrow it down even more if you really want to but just picking UK doesn't mean you're going to get just purely UK based research. The researchers might be UK based but the actual research they've taken might be in a different country like USA, Japan, India, somewhere like that so you just have to look into each article and just make sure it is UK based and actually researched in the UK because it is far better to have UK based research over other countries because the UK is where you're going to be studying, is where you're going to be working and it's just those things that will just get you better marks as well. Also another little thing with Sinal is if you go on to Sinal and it only shows you half an article that you're looking for, it doesn't bring up the full article, if you email it to yourself it actually emails you the full PDF file or full article. I didn't know that either before so I found that out and that's really really helpful because it's really frustrating when you can only see half an article but you want to look at the whole thing so try emailing it to yourself and see if it opens up and hopefully it works for you, let me know if it does. That was just a little tip. So my next database search advice is on Cochrane Library now Cochrane to be honest it's supposed to be one of the best places to get your research articles from but I to be honest I do struggle a little bit with Cochrane and finding articles but I'm just going to show you just a small tip that I've recently discovered and it might be actually you might already know this I'm sorry if I'm already telling you information that you already know but this is just something that I discovered personally recently and it opened a whole world of new research to me so during my research recently I've been looking up pre-exposure prophylaxis I'm going to put in HIV as well because I want it for HIV so I've basically been recently researching pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV this is for my dissertation slash not called dissertation anymore it's called ACPE and I was coming up with this page so I was coming up with one review and I was just like what how good and stupidly they're right in front of me here trials tab 319 but for some reason I wasn't seeing this tab and I was just looking at this and thinking one no that can't be right it can't be just one review on such a massive topic that I know there's research out there for so you click on that and it opens a whole world of research so you just have to go through one bit by bit and just see which one is the right one for whatever you're writing about basically I tend to sort of click into things and read the abstract because everything here is in the abstract that I'm going to want to know sometimes I will check the results as well so is that is what I'm looking for going to be in the results so I will skip to just certain parts of it I'll skim read the article rather than reading the whole article and if I think okay this is kind of what I'm looking for then I'll save the article or I'll print the article out and I'll go through it thoroughly and properly just to save me a lot of time reading through each article bit by bit so that's my main piece of advice with Cockrain Library again I'm not 100% psyched on Cockrain Library I know it's supposed to be the best but I really struggle to find what I actually want on Cockrain for some reason I do like Sinal I do like using our university's summon page they're just my own preferences but I do find some things on Cockrain so I do try and use a variety just to help me find more research as I said on Sunday I found discovered something amazing recently and this was Google Books I didn't even know this existed I don't know how but this is just amazing our librarian come in and talked to us about searching database searching and things and she opened this whole new world of books to us so this is the page I've got books.google.com go on to that page search the book you want to do so let's just say for example you want to find more about resilience for example and it'll come up with a whole load of books on resilience and not only that if you click into these books you can actually read a lot more of the book than normal like if you go on to amazon and things they give you little snippets of the book maybe one page or two page just so you can kind of take a sneak peek inside but some of these books are giving you the whole book to read so then you don't even really have to take a step inside a library to actually take out the book loan and read through the book it's here in the comfort of your own home you can sit there and you can read the book find out any key parts that you want to take from the book and put it into your assignments and then you can actually reference it exactly the same as you would reference a book because you've got all of the information there is as if you've got the book in your hands it's just an online version the only difference is you're just reading it online and that was just a really really amazing tip I think but I must say in assignment writing it is far better to look up journal articles and use a lot more evidence-based practice and journal articles over books with your referencing because they're seen as the best evidence possible so if you want the high marks go for more journal articles over books with your referencing and when you're including it in your main body but that just amazed me I just had to share that with you because it's fantastic and if there's a book out there that you really think actually I could get some really important information from this book to add to my assignment that's a great way to do it another tip that we were showed by the librarian is if you're searching for something so let's go back to the adolescents um and chlamydia that I want to search for so I'm still searching for this so a top tip she said to put was if you put in the key words into the search bar so adolescence then put an asterix after that and then space then nursing because it's to do with nursing asterix again and then your topic that you want to search for so I want to search for chlamydia and just put that in a little quote marks so it's going to look just like that so put in whatever field of nursing you want so child adult learning difficulties mental health then you want to put nursing because you want nursing related and then your topic in the quotes just like that press search and that will bring all of those together and do a complete search and it just brings up everything relevant so all of this should be young people nursing related and chlamydia and it just brings it all together to be honest I haven't searched outside of birmingham city university for this I've only just searched this now on the main university search engine so shall we go back and let me just copy and paste this save me typing it in again so act I'm just going to go back to senal and it'll be interesting to see if this works with senal I've got a feeling it's not because I know that I was searching completely wrong with senal um but I just want to see what happens if I do that in senal now no results okay so it doesn't work for senal so on your main summon page at university if you've got a main summon page you can do that I'm not sure if it's a bone with city university thing let's try now check in our google books and see if that works with google books and central community based nursing paediac sentel paediatrics nursing okay my i'm not too sure if it works actually for this so my main thing is if you're a birmingham city university student this is going to work for you on the birmingham city university website for searching summon let me know below comment below if you've got a main university search like summon and if this works for you because i've got a feeling now i've just done this i'm looking silly this might just be purely for university students of birmingham city but try this on your university if you're at a different university let me know if it works and if it's helpful if not i'm really really sorry this isn't for you guys but it helps birmingham city university students i'm hoping it helps everybody out there i'm really sorry if it doesn't but that's just a tip that i'll learn and i thought it was a really good tip that i had to share with you those are my main tips mainly i feel like i've talked a lot about senal so i'm really sorry about that but senal for me was a tricky thing to get get my head around and get started with so now i've learnt those little tips and things hopefully it's going to help you but the main points to remember on database searching is keep your keywords narrow specific try using different keywords if that keyword isn't working narrow it down as much as you can if you're getting a wide range like thousands and thousands of articles and you don't want to look through all those so try and narrow it down as much as possible to give you better results and also remember to use a wide search when databaseing when i say wide search i mean use different types of database searches so use different websites to go on and search for articles there because some databases bring up certain things other databases bring up more things some do a wider search other do a more narrower search so just use as many databases as you can to find the articles that you really want this might also give you some little points on the marking criteria because they do like to see that you're searching wide database searches and you know read them widely and around the topic that you've chosen so you're going to get extra marks possibly for that hopefully it just really helps as well to find the research or the articles or any of the topics that you want so that's it from me i hope this video has been useful i hope i've given you some tips that you might not have thought about before if there's anything else you want to know leave me a comment message me my inbox is always open for everybody and hopefully i can help where i can and that is it from me i'm going to post the links below have a look at those have a look at the different types of research and databases you can go on and yeah so that's it from me have a great week everyone and i'll see you next time
