Analyze the relevance and potential effectiveness of evidence when making a decision. 

  • Create a 3-5-page submission in which you develop a PICO(T) question for a specific care issue and evaluate the evidence you locate, which could help to answer the question.

PICO(T) is an acronym that helps researchers and practitioners define aspects of a potential study or investigation.

It stands for:

  • P – Patient/population/problem.
  • I – Intervention.
  • C – Comparison (of potential interventions, typically).
  • O – Outcome(s).
  • T – Time frame (if time frame is relevant).

The end goal of applying PICO(T) is to develop a question that can help guide the search for evidence (Boswell Cannon, 2015). From this perspective, a PICO(T) question can be a valuable starting point for nurses who are starting to apply an evidence-based model or EBPs. By taking the time to precisely define the areas in which the nurse will be looking for evidence, searches become more efficient and effective. Essentially, by precisely defining the types of evidence within specific areas, the nurse will be more likely to discover relevant and useful evidence during their search.

You are encouraged to complete the Vila Health PCI(T) Process activity before you develop the plan proposal. This activity offers an opportunity to practice working through creating a PICO(T) question within the context of an issue at a Vila Health facility. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 3 successfully. This is for your own practice and self-assessment and demonstrates your engagement in the course.

Professional Context

As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for locating and identifying credible and scholarly resources to incorporate the best available evidence for the purposes of enhancing clinical reasoning and judgement skills. When reliable and relevant evidence-based findings are utilized, patients, health care systems, and nursing practice outcomes are positively impacted.

PICO(T) is a framework that can help you structure your definition of the issue, potential approach that you are going to use, and your predictions related to the issue. Word choice is important in the PICO(T) process because different word choices for similar concepts will lead you toward different existing evidence and research studies that would help inform the development of your initial question.

Scenario

For this assessment, please use an issue of interest from your current or past nursing practice.

If you do not have an issue of interest from your personal nursing practice, then review the optional Case Studies presented in the resources and select one of those as the basis for your assessment.

Instructions

For this assessment, select an issue of interest an apply the PICO(T) process to define the 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 issues, as well explain how the evidence would help you plan and make decisions related to your question.

If you need some structure to organize your initial thoughts and research, the PICOT Question and Research Template document (accessible from the “Create PICO(T) Questions” page in the Capella library’s Evidence Based Practice guide) might be helpful.

In your submission, make sure you address the following grading criteria:

  • Define a practice issue to be explored via a PICO(T) approach.
  • Identify sources of evidence that could be potentially effective in answering a PICO(T) question.
  • Explain the findings from articles or other sources of evidence.
  • 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.

Example Assessment: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like:

Additional Requirements

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.

Discuss the access, cost, and quality of quality environments, as well as recent quality initiatives

Discuss the access, cost, and quality of quality environments, as well as recent quality initiatives (See Chapter 24 and Table 24.1). Student is to reflect on the relationship between quality measures and evaluation and role development. In addition, describe this relationship and note how the role of the APN might change without effective quality measures.

Develop a plan to address the health need or how to extend a good practice to another community.

Special Populations
In this module you will learn about special populations. You will also do an extensive assessment of your community and develop a plan to address the health need or how to extend a good practice to another community.

Overview:

Special populations include: the elderly, children, disabled, or any person or group that is vulnerable. In this module we will review how the community nurse provides support for these populations.

The aging population in the United States is and will continue to grow as the “baby boomer” generation begins to enter into their seventies. Consider the impact of such a large number of people requiring care. This population often has more than one chronic condition. What are skilled nursing services? What is the Community Nurses’ role in case management? What other aspects of health care will this population need? How will this impact our health care system?

Who are the vulnerable “at risk”? At risk may include those who have physiologic, emotional, economic issues affecting their health or a combination of many complex personal and environmental challenges. It could be a nurse who is acutely ill with a new health issue and health care providers assume this person does not need discharge teaching. In other words, sometimes the vulnerable are not seen in plain sight.

Module QSEN SLOs, Learning Objectives and Activities:

This module’s focused learning objectives include the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will help you meet them.

These are the QSEN SLOs that will be addressed in this module:

Analyze and integrate data and information from multiple sources to make clinical judgments in community health nursing care. (EBP)
Communicate and collaborate within interdisciplinary teams in the community to improve outcomes for groups whose health status is at risk. (T/C)
Expand the role of the professional nurse to develop, implement, and evaluate culturally competent, evidence-based care for groups, communities, and populations. (PCC)
Implement a project to address the needs of identified groups and to evaluate project effectiveness in meeting identified health needs. (QI)
Explore the nurse’s role in maintaining the safety of the public related to potential epidemic situations. (S)
Utilize information technology to communicate, manage knowledge, and support evidence-based clinical decisions in community health nursing. (I)
Here are the module’s objectives. They are focused on helping you achieve the above SLOs.

By the end of this module’s work, you will:

Analyze and discuss a vulnerable population. Achieve by completing Learning Activities: II, III
Analyze solutions to address an identified community’s health need. Achieve by completing Learning Activities: II, III
Learning Activities:

I. Review the schedule
