COURSE
NR505NP Advanced Research Methods: Evidence-Based
Purpose
The focus for Week 2 is the development of a PICOT question. Please view this short video on how to develop your PICOT question:
- Remember- PICOT should focus on something you as an NP can implement and should focus on measurable health outcomes. Full-practice authority, burnout, satisfaction surveys, and anything that would require a policy or law change should not be used. Please view short video above to get a clearer understanding of requirements.
- Using the area of interest identified in the Week 1 discussion, address the following:
- Draft a PICOT question using the standard quantitative PICOT format.
- Identify your practice question, being sure to include the following information and describe each part of the PICOT question in detail:
- Population
- Intervention
- Comparison
- Outcome
- Time
In ________(Population) what is the effect of ___________(Intervention) in comparison to ___________ (Comparison) on _____________ (Outcome) to be completed over __________ (Time).
Review the PICOT questions of two of your peers. Provide substantive feedback and suggestions for improvement.
Provide substantive feedback and suggestions for improvement. For full credit, submit your initial post by Wednesday at 11:59 PM MT. Complete your two responses to peers by Sunday at 11:59 PM MT.
