RESEARCH REFLECTIONS: Finding research to answer patients’ questions

Abstract

Searching for research study articles may seem daunting given the vast array of articles. Furthermore, some articles have limited access making it more difficult to obtain the full article. The purpose of this paper is to: a) demonstrate a series of six steps to find a research study in PubMed to answer questions patients ask; and b) explore ways to link to other relevant articles within PubMed.
