Nursing 561

For this assignment, you'll need to create a searchable question using the PICO(T) format. Once you have your PICO(T) question, you can then extract search terms that can be used to find research in a database.

EBP questions are focused towards answering a specific problem or process; this is generally posed towards improving patient care. On the other hand, quality improvement (QI) questions are higher level questions that are aimed at systemic changes such as efficiency and workflow processes. PICOT is specifically used to answer EBP questions.

Your problem will guide your question and whether you will use PICOT or other tools to help you formulate your question. If your topic leads to a Qualitative question, see the Qualitative Research guide to help you form your question.
