Presentation Transcript

1. NRSG 790: Methods for Research and Evidence Based Practice MODULE 5: PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION

2. Getting Started What is the problem? How do we know it exists? Do we see an outcome deficit, or an area for improvement? Avoid the mistake of identifying a solution first, then go in search of a problem Unclear as to the standard? Is one practice better than another? What does the evidence say? Click to learn more

3. PICO Components Patient Population Problem Intervention Comparison with other interventions Outcomes that are measurable P I C O T

4. Hospitalized Adolescents with Diabetes P I C O T

5. What is Your PICO? Hospitalized adolescents with diabetes P An alternative to print (you specify based on research evidence) I Printed education materials C Reduction of HgA1C to target goal O 6-12 months post program T Students are not permitted to use this PICOT for their paper assignments

6. Construct Well-Built Clinical Questions Background Questions Ask for general knowledge about a disorder How does the problem occur (what is the cause, incidence, prevalence) What are the effects and complications of the problem (physical, social, psychological, economic, health-care system) How do we generally manage the problem? Foreground Questions Ask for specific knowledge about managing a specific effect of the problem What is the best practice intervention to achieve a desired physical, social, psychological, economic, health-care delivery outcome
