NUR 3165 University of Central Florida PICO Questions Discussion

Description

Discussion 2 PICO Questions

Have you ever thought, “If only I could change ….(insert problem here)… on my unit! The process would be better and patients would have better outcomes!” This is how nursing research gets started. PICO questions (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) help to form the basis of research questions and researchers at every level all have to start somewhere. Most start by developing a PICO question.

This week, we are learning about and developing our own PICO questions. Read the chapter in your text and read the Stillwell et al (2010) article (full citation is on the Module 2 content page and you will need to retrieve this from the UCF Library) to help you understand what a PICO question is. Please remember that these need to be nursing related. Please do not post a question about hand-washing or infection control. Those questions are well researched and have already been answered. Pick something that you are curious about from your own nursing clinical experience or practice. The best PICO questions are the ones that are meaningful to you and your practice.

Initial Post

State your PICO question, identifying each component (Example: In pediatric patients with asthma (P), does attending asthma camp (I) improve hospitalization rates (O). Note that the C = comparison is implied to be “not attending asthma camp.”)
Why is this relevant to nursing practice (how does this benefit your population)?
You may use your textbook and the PICO article as citations for this week
