A description of the search method
The Google search engine is used to access various databases, including Google Scholar, EBSCO, and sci-hub. The databases enabled me to single out the two relevant sources to my research study on evidence-based practice, especially in healthcare. The databases were credible because they contain quality sources by credible authors; hence I chose them to make my research authentic and credible. The procedure I used for the inclusion and exclusion of sources for relevant and credible sources is the consideration of the relevance of the sources to my project proposal theme and the credibility of the authors. For instance, ‘sequencing-based methods and resources to study antimicrobial resistance’ by Boolchandani, D’Souza & Dantas is an excellent source for the project on evidence-based practices, especially in healthcare. The authors are members of the Edison family Centre for Genome Sciences and Systems Biology. The other source is the ‘Research design: Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches’ is authored by John W. Creswell, who is a renowned author that has authored many credible journal articles on mixed research methods. For instance, he has authored 27 books and many peer-reviewed articles on mixed research methods, qualitative research, and research methods (Creswell, 2003). ‘Evidence-based practice in nursing and healthcare by Bernadette Mazurek Melnyk and Ellen Fineout-Overholt is credible because the authors are co-creators of the Advanced research and clinical practice through the close collaboration model (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2010). The model underscores the novel strategy in implementing and sustaining evidence-based practice in healthcare, which is my primary focus in the project proposal. The other consideration in my search for credible sources was the number of sources used in authoring the sources, which makes the sources a crucial appreciation of past research on the phenomenon. Some of the critical terms used include evidence, expertise, practitioner, values, and practice. The other key terms used include qualitative, quantitative, survey, design, and research. The other criteria used to select the sources is establishing the number of times they are cited by other scholars in related themes of evidence-based practice in healthcare. The other strategy for searching the sources was ascertaining whether they had employed evidence-based practice in their studies.
Summary of all of the research studies
The study in the article, ‘sequencing-based methods and resources to study antimicrobial resistance,’ entails using next-generation sequencing to determine the microbial resistant genes. In this case, a sample of 5 k-mers was used in identifying antimicrobial resistance genes and single-nucleotide polymorphism in S. aureus and M. tuberculosis. In this context, k-mers are derivatives of whole genomes of both the antimicrobial-resistant and antimicrobial susceptible species. In the study, Mykrobe predictor, considered a f...
