Assignent Solutionnurs

PICOT) is an acronym that helps researchers and practitioners define aspects of a potential study or
investigation.
It stands for:
P- Patient/population/problem.
I – Intervention.
C – Comparison (of potential interventions, typically).
O – Outcome(s).
T- Time frame (if time frame is relevant).
The end goal of applying PIC(T) is to develop a question that can help guide the search for evidence
(Boswell & Cannon, 2015). From this perspective, a PIC(T) question can be a valuable starting point for
nurses who are starting to apply an evidence-based model or EBPs. By taking the time to precisely define
the areas in which the nurse will be looking for evidence, searches become more efficient and effective.
Essentially, by precisely defining the types of evidence within specific areas, the nurse will be more likely
to discover relevant and useful evidence during their search. When applying the PIC(T) approach, the
nurse can isolate the interventions of interest and compare to other existing interventions for the
evidenced impact on the outcome of the concern.
You are encouraged to complete the Vila Health PIC(T) Process activity before you develop the plan
proposal. This activity offers an opportunity to practice working through creating a PIC(T) question
within the context of an issue at a Vila Health facility. These skills will be necessary to complete
Assessment 3 successfully. This is for your own practice and self-assessment and demonstrates your
engagement in the course.
