My partner and I did not need to revise our PICOT question upon searching for research articles. We encountered an issue with finding articles within the given time range. This assignment required us to find relevant articles that were written in 2017-2023. When I originally began looking for articles I did not find many that were conducted within our given year range. I then solved this issue by narrowing the year bracket to then populate articles that would qualify. Our PICOT question directly targets fertility in females, but when researching for articles many of the articles were about fertility in males. This was very interesting but was not what we were looking for. In order to fix this problem, I decided to change the keywords I was using in my search. I changed “Females” to “Women” and I also tried to use the word “Ladies”. This then helped narrow the search even further. Thus far this assignment has been manageable. I have used my time appropriately and given this paper about 30 minutes of my time each day depending on the assignment for class. A few things I will take away from this assignment are to change the year bracket before researching the topic. I would also think of synonyms for a word if I am not coming up with many results before I resort to changing my overall question.
