This article aims to describe changes in the functions of the APNs working in primary health care systems in the Americas (Gusenbauer & Haddaway, 2020). This piece falls right into my purview of study since my concern is on how nurses can assume other responsibilities to enhance their performance in delivering healthcare to patients as well as efforts to enhance the healthcare system. This is an important topic given that the subject of APN is an effective way of establishing how advanced nurses can help work towards overcoming workforce shortage and enhancement of access to quality care. I used Walden University Library to find this article and searched it under SAGE Journals category. This is one of the numerous scholarly databases available through the library and is very useful for the identification of peer-reviewed full text academic and clinical articles in many health care disciplines including nursing (Gusenbauer & Haddaway, 2020). While I was searching for this article I faced some initial difficulties. One of the challenges included the problem of identifying an article that focused on expansion of roles of the nurse in relation to specific area I was interested in. Performing a search brought up different articles other than the ones of interest and such specific key words as ‘advanced practice nursing’, ‘primary healthcare’, ‘nursing roles in Americas’ (Luís Carlos Lopes-Júnior RN, 2021). Furthermore, the process of filtering the results was slightly complicated because I had to make sure that I ticked certain checkboxes like Peer-Reviewed Articles and certain Date Range among others. However, every time I tried to search this article again, the google filtering seemed to have tightened up and I could only find the article once I had fine-tuned my keywords in. The use of SAGE Journals database was beneficial in the conduct of the academic research. It has a large number of research journals with articles on topics within nursing, medicine, and health care policies that are useful in comprehending current dynamics of the nursing profession (Gusenbauer & Haddaway, 2021). That is one of the major strengths of using this database, being able to have access to the full text of the articles. Some of the databases may only allow the user to access abstracts, which are not very helpful when carrying out detailed research. SAGE Journals on the other hand enabled me to read and review the full contents of the article which are relevant in elaborating the topic in detail. In my opinion, my colleagues would also find this database useful when searching for information regarding nursing practice, healthcare policies or primary care developments. This makes it convenient to search or hop between different article of interest within this particular field of health care (Gusenbauer & Haddaway, 2020). On the operation, the easy-to-navigate interface, though is a little unfamiliar at first glance, you can easily make searches with functions like filter by publication type, date, and more topics. also, the database contains only articles of peer-reviewed journals that are proved to be relevant and appropriate for purely academic purposes. Without doubt, I will recommend SAGE Journals database to my colleagues. It is for this reason that it contains a wide coverage of articles, full text and specialized in the area of nursing and healthcare hence being useful for anyone carrying out research or working under evidencebased practice. Of particular benefit to those in the nursing profession, the publication provides current information on issues affecting the field and innovation in healthcare setting; it will complement the study of APN roles, healthcare policy, and clinical practices.

This article looks at how and why yoga works for mental health, including ethics (yam and niyama), asana (postures), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation, including cessation of sensation and also enlightenment. Database Choice The database I used to search for this peer-reviewed article was the EBSCO database. I did not have difficulties using this database because I had previously used it. However, learning how to query the database years ago requires some practice. For example, I searched for the keywords ‘mantra’ and ‘mental health’. In this database, you cannot type all the keywords into the first line; instead, you must use the modifiers of and, but, and or, etc., to assist the search. So, my query looked like ‘mantra AND mental health’. I then set the date range from 2019 to 2024 and selected only full-text and peer-reviewed scholarly journals. A student must maintain an exploratory attitude and be able to reproduce similar results across various databases using distinguishable queries to improve academic research (Gusenbauer & Haddaway, 2021). EBSCO – Useful and Recommended This database is often utilized in graduate nursing and medical programs as it is easy to use and comprehensive. It includes literature for nurses, nurse educators, nursing students, and medical professionals. EBSCO is known to be reliable and evidence-based, with peer-reviewed journals containing extensive resources for academia and research that maintain the integrity of findings (Oermann et al., 2021). I recommend this database to all my colleagues as it is straightforward to use, can be accessed by querying keywords, and provides content you could never find using Google Scholar, for example.
