a. Formulate a PICOT Question
The objective of this discussion is to introduce students to Evidence-Based Practice by teaching them to pose specific questions of importance for their practice. Therefore, for this discussion, you will be developing and writing your own clinical-oriented (PICO(T)) questions as discussed in the learning module.
Instructions:
Instructions:
Questions are the driving force behind EBP. If there were no questions, EBP would be unnecessary. Using the identified clinical problem in discussion #3.
Formulate a PICOT question by identifying:
P – Patient or Problem: Who is the patient? What are the most important characteristics of the patient? What is the primary problem, disease, or co-existing condition?
I – Intervention: What is the main intervention being considered?
C – Comparison: What is the main comparison intervention? (optional)
O – Outcome: What are the anticipated measures, improvements, or effects?
Convert this PICOT to a clinical question.
indicate the best study method to answer this PICOT question (use the PICOT worksheet
Actions
and attached to this discussion post).
Title the discussion with the PICOT question.
Initial post: Your post should be within a range of 150-240 words.
Peer response: Identify two (2) students that may share a similar question and invite them to discuss the topic (be engaging, these classmates may become your group partners for the EBP project).
Cite your references APA 7th ed. (not included in the length of the post).
b. Conducting the Evidence Search
The purpose of this discussion is to teach students to use electronic databases and methodological filters to select the most relevant evidence to answer the clinical questions. A secondary purpose of this assignment is to teach students to format citations according to the American Psychological Association Style Handbook (7th Edition).
Instructions:
For this discussion, you will use the PICO question you generated for the previous discussion (Use the PICO worksheet attached to this discussion).
Select the most appropriate databases using information from the MDC Library databases. Explain in a short paragraph why you selected each one.
Find synonyms for Population, Problem, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome. Fill out the list with synonyms.
Using the advanced search feature, conduct separate searches for each of the above PICO, using “OR” with synonyms. Check for the number of hits for each search and revise as necessary.
Using the search history feature, combine PICO searches, using “And.”
Make note of the number of hits.
Revise the searches combined, if necessary.
Use methodological filter terms, first for systematic reviews, randomized control trials, cohort studies, etc. Note the number of studies found after applying the exclusion and inclusion criteria).
Limit your searches to five (5) years.
Write a paragraph describing the process ( this is the method section of the literature review).
Title the discussion with the PICOT question.
Initial post: Your post should be within a range of 200-300 words.
Peer response: Identify two (2) students that may share a similar question and make significant comments in their Search methodology (can it be replicated?).
Be active because it may help you form a group for the EBP paper.
Cite your references APA 7th ed. (not included in the length of the post).
