MRSA Infections PICOT Question and Literature Discussion
Developing a PICOT Question/Statement Class, The components
of PICOT include: (P) Population of Focus – Be specific regarding
the particular clinical area where the clinical problem or issue
arises from clinical care (I) Intervention – Independent nursing
intervention (C) Comparison – Nursing intervention in patients not
currently receiving the intervention in the (I) (O) Outcome – Be
specific (T) Time – REQUIRED and should specify the timeframe
needed to implement the change process. Identify each of the
components in relation to your topic. Here is an example. P: acute
care intensive care units I: hand hygiene with hand sanitizer C:
hand hygiene with soap and water O: reduce hospital-associated
Clostridium difficile infections T: over a two-month period (this is
required) Then, develop a PICOT question/statement. In acute
care intensive care units (P), does hand hygiene with hand
sanitizer (I), compared to hand hygiene with soap and water (C),
reduce hospital-associated Clostridium difficile infections (O), over
a two-month period (T). Objectives: 1. Examine the importance of
nursing research in improving patient outcomes. 2. Identify critical
elements of evidence-based practice. 3. Evaluate a clinical
problem using the PICOT question. Class, I want to make sure you
are aware of resources that should not be used in this week’s
assignment. Systematic Reviews, Literature Reviews, and
Metanalysis articles are useful resources and provide a strong
