After reviewing the
materials you created to research a specific diagnosis in the first two
assessments, apply the PICO(T) process to develop a research question and
research it.
Your initial goal is to
define the population, intervention, comparison, and outcome. In some cases, a
time frame is relevant and you should include that as well, when writing a
question you can research related to your issue of interest. After you define
your question, research it, and organize your initial findings, select the two
sources of evidence that seem the most relevant to your question and analyze
them in more depth. Specifically, interpret each source’s specific findings and
best practices related to your chosen diagnosis, and explain how the evidence
would help you plan and make decisions related to your question.
In your submission, make
sure you address the following grading criteria:
·
Define a practice issue to be explored via a PICO(T) approach.
Create a PICO(T)-formatted research question
·
Identify sources of evidence that could be potentially effective
in answering a PICO(T) question (databases, journals, websites, etc.).
·
Explain the findings from articles or other sources of evidence
as it relates to the identified health care issue.
·
Explain the relevance of the findings from chosen sources of
evidence to making decision related to a PICO(T) question.
·
Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and
professional with correct grammar and spelling using the current APA style.
Your assessment should
meet the following requirements:
·
Length of submission:
Create a 3-5 page submission focused on defining a research question and
interpreting evidence relevant to answering it.
·
Number of references: Cite
a minimum of four sources of scholarly or professional evidence that support
your findings and considerations. Resources should be no more than 5 years old.
·
APA formatting: Format
references and citations according to the current APA style.
