I have to write a topic paper that is around 15 pages (doesn’t necessarily need to be 15) that talks about Kinesio Tape and how it works in comparison to other types of athletic tapes, its history, and how it became popular. Along with its effectiveness on certain types of injuries such as ankle sprains, should injuries, and knee injuries. I have attached the guidelines I received for this paper as far as the layout of the paper .

Review the information presented in the Learning Resources for using the Walden Library, searching the databases, and evaluating online resources.

/in /by

Where can you find evidence to inform your thoughts and scholarly writing? Throughout your degree program, you will use research literature to explore ideas, guide your thinking, and gain new insights. As you search the research literature, it is important to use resources that are peer-reviewed and from scholarly journals. You may already have some favorite online resources and databases that you use or have found useful in the past. For this Discussion, you explore databases available through the Walden Library.

To Prepare:

  • Review the information presented in the Learning Resources for using the Walden Library, searching the databases, and evaluating online resources.
  • Begin searching for a peer-reviewed article that pertains to your practice area and interests you.

By Day 3 of Week 6

Post the following:

Using proper APA formatting, cite the peer-reviewed article you selected that pertains to your practice area and is of particular interest to you and identify the database that you used to search for the article. Explain any difficulties you experienced while searching for this article. Would this database be useful to your colleagues? Explain why or why not. Would you recommend this database? Explain why or why not.

By Day 6 of Week 6

Respond to at least two of your colleagues’ posts by offering suggestions/strategies for working with this database from your own experience, or offering ideas for using alternative resources.

Discussion for reply one

The article I selected that pertains to my practice area and is of great interest to me is:

Men, Depression, and Coping: are we on the Right Patch? The citation of the article is as followed:

Whittle, E. L., Fogarty, A. S., Tugendrajch, S., Player, M. J., Christensen, H., Wilhelm, K., . . . Proudfoot, J. (2015). Men, depression, and coping: Are we on the right path? Psychology of Men & Masculinity, 16(4), 426-438. doi:10.1037/a0039024

 I use the Walden University Library database for the article search using CINAHL Plus with Full Text, peer-reviewed article, evidence-based, full text within five years. I did not find any difficulties searching for this article. The database I believe would be useful to all my colleagues. It would be useful to my colleagues because it is trusted and well organized. The database is user friendly giving multiple options and resources for help. I would recommend this database, because of the integrity of the information sources. As a professional, and new to scholar writing, finding unbiased information for research is important to provide evidence-based research to my academic audience. This database is not open to everyone, it is private to Walden University students and faculty members. So, this database is secure with credible information. That is why I would recommend it.

Initial Discussion Post

Suarez, L., Dunlay, S. M., Schettle, S. D., Stulak, J. M., & Staab, J. P. (2020). Associations of depressive symptoms of outcomes in patients implanted with left ventricular assist devices. General Hospital Psychiatry, 64, 93-98. https://doi.org/.ezp.waldenulibrary.org/10.1016/j.genhosppsych.2019.12.005

As a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) coordinator, I am always interested in providing my patients with the best options for holistic care, specifically focused on their perception of health.  Implantation of these devices is to alleviate symptoms of end stage heart failure and improve patients’ quality of life (Lee, 2018).  Therefore, this article really stood out to me as a beneficial study that could be used to shape my practice.

I was able to access the Walden University Library Fundamentals of Library Research page and I watched the online tutorial of accessing databases (Instructional media: Fundamentals of library research, 2020).  After that, I followed the link to the Nursing Databases page in the Library and saw the list of databases offered.  I opted for one that included full text articles from the list of ‘Best Bets’ (Databases: A-Z, 2020).  I chose CINAHL and typed in my subject, left ventricular assist device and quality of life, in the search bars (Databases: A-Z, 2020).  I was easily brought to a results page of articles to choose from.

I didn’t have much issue accessing these articles and finding one that met my intended need.  I would definitely recommend the use of CINAHL as it was easy to use, filtered results appropriately, and provided full text articles with citation.  My only hesitation is that I’m not sure how easy it would have been to find the list of nursing databases if I hadn’t followed the exact link that was provided in the recommended reading.  I will need to do some navigation myself from the main Walden University webpage to find the best way to navigate to the databases home page.  Once I am able to find the way there, I think I will be using this database a lot for future referencing.  It is really great that Walden gives us access to all these articles at our fingertips.  It is so much easier than having to go to the library and thumb through text.  I will most definitely recommend this way to everyone that needs to do research going forward!

Purpose: this assignment you will use the reading, writing and critical thinking and researching skills discussed throughout this course to research and write about current approaches to a specific, contemporary issue relevant to your field of study at college. BE SPECIFIC. The topic must be focused on a specific issue, not a broad theme.

Relevant Learning Outcomes:  LO01, LO02, LO03, LO04, and LO05

Assessment Tools:  Essay Rubric

Format: Your assignment should be 3-5 pages in length and should follow APA formatting guidelines.

Sources: You must use at least three (3) sources and two (2) or more of your sources must be from the Mohawk College Library Database. You may write direct quotes, paraphrase, and summary when using your sources, but all information taken from other sources must be cited using APA format.

A research report MUST include APA in-text citations (authors last name, year) throughout the report.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Narrow your topic from the provided list of potential themes. This is important. Think about something specific youve learned about in another course and want to explore further.

Step 2: Research your topic using the source evaluation techniques discussed in the course. Researching can also help narrow your topic. Your research must include at least three articles from credible sources including the library databases.

Demonstrate how your quote supports your argument (how it is relevant).

Only quote when necessary; paraphrase and summarize often.

Step 3: Draft your thesis statement. The thesis statement is NOT the theme; instead it should argue something about theme that may be either prescriptive or reflective or both. For example, a thesis statement that builds on the theme social media and business, might read: There are many types of social media, but Linkedin is most useful to the business student because it allows you to network, share articles of interest and search for employment. (Note: the report is focused on a specific social media platform, NOT social media is great).

Step 4: Outline your research report. You can use headings to organize the report, but you must use clear paragraph structure under each heading you can use more than one paragraph under each heading. Headings are incomplete sentences that repeat the main point in the topic sentence of the paragraph. You are not required to use headings but student often find they help organize reports.

Craft the topic sentences for your body paragraphs and make sure all of them build on your thesis statement but dont repeat it. Ensure the topic sentences are ordered in a logical sequence to build toward your conclusion. Collect and organize the specific evidence you will use to support each topic sentence from your research. Add the reasoning and analysis the connective tissue that ties each piece of evidence back to the topic sentence. Save some last piece of evidence a startling statistic, quote, or anecdote for your conclusion.

Step 5: Draft your essay. Review the notes on memorable opening and concluding paragraphs. Keep track of your use of research for citation purposes.

Step 6: Revise and edit your report for grammatical, spelling and mechanical errors. Does each of your paragraphs have unity, coherence, adequate development and a defined topic sentence? Is your language vivid, active and appropriate to the topic?

Step 7: Include an APA style Bibliography/Works Cited page.

NOTE: A research report MUST include APA in-text citations (authors last name, year) throughout the report. If there are NO in-text citations indicating when information was taken from another source, the report is considered plagiarized and will receive 0.

Topic Suggestions
1. New technology important to your field of study Select a SPECIFIC technology to research such as a new software program specific to a profession; a virtual reality learning tool; an improvement to PLCs, or advanced Bluetooth technology as it applies to a specific industry. (Note: technology is important to manufacturing is NOT specific)

2. Future opportunities for employment in your field What specifically has changed in a specific industry? For example, cellphones have created the opportunity for TV Broadcasters to create their own channels; or virtual accounting offices in the 21st century; or pros and cons of the gig economy for recent college graduates in X field.

3. The impact of your profession on your community or society What is one specific impact or benefit of your profession? For example, the recent pandemic revealed how vital personal support workers are in nursing homes because or how Child and Youth Workers can help street kids with mental illness.

4.  The importance of literacy or communication skills in your field of study Again, be specific. Research three ways excellent public speaking skills benefit marketers etc.

5. The impact or use of social media in a specific profession Twitter, LinkedIn, Pintrest, Youtube, Facebook are all completely different. Select one and research the advantages and disadvantages using that platform has on your specific profession. Be creative, but specific. Note: Social Media is great for Paralegals is NOT a specific topic.

6. Specific industry environmental issues or concerns Research ways your field of study can reduce negative impacts on the environment and/or global warming. For example, you could look at building construction materials made for recycled material or how mechanics can help reduce car emissions or safely dispose of hazardous fluids.

7. The impact of the pandemic on your field Research how the pademic has decimated or reinvigorated your field.  For instance, some local plants initially shut down but then restarted  making different products such as PPE and hand sanitizer.

8. The impact of systemic racism in your fieldResearch the ways in which systemic racism impacts your profession.  For example, you could look hiring practices in corportations or representations in the media.
