General Appraisal Overview for All Studies

/in /by

the “General Appraisal Overview for All Studies,” available in Appendix B in the textbook. You should save this tool and use it throughout the development of the PICOT question, problem description, and literature review.

Begin the development of your PICOT question, using the following resources:

“Appendix A: Template for Asking Clinical Questions,” available in the textbook appendix
Text readings
Formulate your PICOT question and post it to the main forum. Review your statements to see if the clinical issue is clearly defined and that all aspects are identified. Also refer to the “PICOT: Components of an Answerable, Searchable Question” table, located in chapter 2 of the text.

.These are the key elements that are required for a solid PICOT question.
The table below outlines the how to break down the elements of your clinical question.
You should consider five elements when developing a good clinical research question:

P–Patient/Problem–Describe as accurately as possible the patient or group of patients of interest.

I–Intervention—what’s the main intervention or therapy you wish to compare.

C–Comparison intervention–Is there an alternative treatment to compare?

O–Outcome–What is the clinical outcome?

T—Time–Time it takes to demonstrate a clinical outcome.

In the Discussion for this module, you considered the interaction of nurse informaticists with other specialists to ensure successful care. How is that success determined?

Patient outcomes and the fulfillment of care goals is one of the major ways that healthcare success is measured. Measuring patient outcomes results in the generation of data that can be used to improve results. Nursing informatics can have a significant part in this process and can help to improve outcomes by improving processes, identifying at-risk patients, and enhancing efficiency.

literature review

/in /by

While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone change proposal project, the literature review enables students to map out and move into the active planning and development stages of the project.

A literature review analyzes how current research supports the PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in the evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT Statement Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop a 750-1,000 word review that includes the following sections:

Title page
Introduction section
A comparison of research questions
A comparison of sample populations
A comparison of the limitations of the study
A conclusion section, incorporating recommendations for further research
