PICO And Literature Search Week 9 HW
Purpose: PICO questions are used by practicing nurses and
researchers to focus research questions and develop an efficient
literature search strategy. It is essential that future nurses learn
how to do this to develop evidenced-based solutions to patient
care problems in a healthcare organization.
Write a PICO question based on a scenario you choose from the
list of scenarios attached below. Use the templates in the EBP
Step by Step 3 article to help create your questions. You may
need to do a pre-search to finding an intervention (the “I”) that has
been studied and published to solve the problem.
Identify the PICO elements for each question.
Develop a search strategy using at least 3 keywords from the P, I,
and O parts of your PICO, 1 synonym for one of the keywords, and
1 MeSH term for one of your keywords.
Locate 4 articles that help answer your PICO question. The articles
must meet the following requirements:
must be primary source quantitative research articles.
No article can be older than 2016.
Obtain pdfs of the four articles you selected from the ResU
database. If not available for the ResU database, you may request
access from the ResU Library, or you can email me the citation for
the article, and I will attempt to locate a pdf of it.
