In a world of ever-increasing amounts of scientific information, the ability to effectively find, analyze, and apply scientific information is becoming a critical skill in all fields of study1 . The Finding answers to research questions through scientific literature research workshop is designed to enable cardiovascular care nurses to effectively formulate research questions and find answers in complex scientific information databases. Through an interactive format, participants will learn about key aspects of defining research questions and hypotheses and will develop the skills needed to effectively search and evaluate the scientific literature. Strategies for reading academic papers quickly and critically as well as techniques for recording and summarizing information effectively are discussed, and insights are provided into the art of putting together a coherent and controversial literature review. Workshops provide opportunities to put learned skills into practice. Through exercises and case studies, participants are encouraged to apply the knowledge gained to concrete examples in their field of study. In addition, interactive experience sharing and discussion sessions are planned to provide opportunities for participants to network and collaborate. By the end of the workshop, participants will have acquired the tools and knowledge that will enable them to confidently navigate the research process and accurately and effectively identify, analyze, and use relevant scientific resources to formulate and validate their research questions and hypotheses. This seminar combines theoretical frameworks with practical applications to provide a foundation for developing nursing research skills that are critical for academic and professional excellence in today’s scientific society [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
