PICOT Questions

Description

PICOT Questions. Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 500-700
words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas,
and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your
classmates. You are required to use two scholarly resources, in addition
to your textbook. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to
reinforce your ideas.

For this discussion board, you will develop your PICOT question. This
PICOT question will be the basis for your weekly projects. Your PICOT
question can be modified based on peer and instructor feedback this week
to help best identify the true question being asked and also to help
locate specific research, so consider the following:

MY PICOT QUESTION :
IMPACT OF ED SEPSIS POLICY ON ED PATIENTS

Develop a research question in the PICOT format—population,
intervention, comparison, outcome, and time—that relates to your current
work environment or to a particular nursing interest. Consider a
specific nursing intervention or nursing policy with a specific culture
or patient population as the focus. In addition to developing a PICOT
question, discuss the role of theory in evidence-based health promotion
practice, and address the following:

PICOT Questions

Describe the selected population in your PICOT/research question and its
unique health care needs. (See template for PICOT development below.)
Select a theory, and apply it to your chosen nursing intervention or
nursing policy. Why did you choose this theory?
When thinking about how to evaluate (obtain an outcome) its
effectiveness, what would you measure? Would you measure lab values,
interview participants, or both? Why did you select the method?
Include at least 2 scholarly articles supporting your post.
Template Examples:

The following templates can be used to develop your PICOT question:

For an Intervention question:

• In __________ (P), how does __________ (I) compared with __________
(C) affect __________ (O) over __________ (T period of time)?

For an Etiology question:

• Are __________ (P) who have __________ (I) compared with those without
__________ (C) at __________ risk for __________ (O) over __________ (T
period of time)?

PICOT Questions

All sources should be cited using APA format. Grammar, spelling,
punctuation, and format should be correct and professional.

Note: The question developed here will be the basis for the projects in
the course; that is, the literature review in Unit 3 and the project in
Unit 4. Include at least 2 references to research sources. When
responding to your peers this week, please provide them with
constructive feedback on their PICOT question. You may need to revise
your PICOT question based on instructor/peer feedback.
