research findings to inform practice decisions

Professional nurses rely on research findings to inform practice decisions; they use critical thinking to apply research directly to specific patient care situations.

Think about an independent nursing practice problem you care passionately about and would be interested in searching for evidence. The below problems should not be used:

*medical/doctor/physician problems such as medications, or medications administration or effects, diagnostics such as EKGs, labs, cardiac catherizations.

*staffing, nurse-to-patient ratios, workforce issues are organizational/system /political/administrative/multi-stakeholder problems which nursing cannot solve independently.

  • Describe a significant nursing clinical issue, topic of interest, or practice problem that is important to you. Describe why you chose the problem/topic.
  • Write your clinical question in the PICO(T) format for your nursing practice problem. *To write your clinical question in the PICO(T) format, use the NR439_Guide for writing PICOT Questions and Examples

  • Template A

    (**choose one term**)
    Example: Among 65+ and older diabetic immobile adults in long-term care
    (P), does a bedside oral care kit and checklist protocol
    (I) compared to routine oral care without a bedside oral care kit
    (C) affect the number of times oral care is completed
    (O) over 3 months
    (T)?
    P=Population of patients:65+ and older diabetic immobile adults in long-term care
    I=Intervention:bedside oral care kit and a checklist protocol
    C=Comparison:routine oral care without a bedside oral care kit
    O=Outcome:number of times (frequency) oral care is completed

    Example:

    In male ICU patients who are 65+ and older diagnosed with COPD (P), would the confusion assessment screening tool (CAST) (I) impact the number of early identification of delirium (O) compared to no screening tool (C) over 6 months (T)?
    P=Population of patients:Inpatient male ICU patients 65+ and older diagnosed with COPD
    I=Intervention:confusion assessment screening tool (CAST)
    C=Comparison:routine care/no screening tool
    O=Outcome:number of early identification of delirium
