picot question

For this course, the Individual Projects will build from one week to the next. At the end of the course, you will have developed a paper proposal for a possible change to practice or policy based on your evidence research. NOTE: You will not be collecting any data for this project. You will only be developing the idea and proposal.

The last assignment will consist of a final paper that is the culmination of the Unit 2 and 4 Discussion Boards and all Individual Projects.

Please be sure to incorporate instructor feedback to make your final paper stronger.

Each week, you will complete one part of the final paper. It is outlined below:

  • Part I: The PICOT question and explanation of the selected population (from Unit 2 Discussion Board)
  • Part II: The intervention—what is the intervention, and why it is selected?
  • Part III: The comparison—what is currently being done or what are other possible interventions to consider?
  • Part IV: The outcome(s) and time frame—what is the anticipated outcome from the change in intervention? And, over what period of time? (from Unit 4 Discussion Board)
  • Part V: Finalizing and submitting the proposal (Individual Project 4)

Unit 4 Individual Project Assignment:

Review and incorporate the feedback from your DBs in weeks 2 and 4 and all IP assignments.

  • Discuss the PICOT question, in detail, and explain why this research is important to the nursing profession.
  • Analyze the literature review, and determine how the current research supports the PICOT question, discussing all of the articles from the literature review.
  • Analyze possible evaluation and measurement strategies and potential outcomes.
  • Provide insight on how personal experience affects evidence-based practice.
