This is a PICOT quantitative research paper. The requirement for references are 3 with each being within the last 5 years. The paper asks for an area of interest for the research. I have selected HIV however the writer may choose what they think is best. Here is an example of what nurses do for the HIV patient. Nurses in this field educate individuals on how to prevent the spread of HIV, and help those infected cope with the physical, social, and psychological aspects of their disease, and to minimize pain and maximize independence. They also educate and support loved ones and family members of those infected with the disease. I will upload the instructions for the paper as well.
APPENDIX C
PROBLEM IDENIFICATION AND PICOT QUESTION PAPER
A. Problem Identification
You will identify and examine a problem of interest to your current nursing practice or to your future role as a Nursing Service Administrator, Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Anesthetist, Nurse Educator or Clinical Nurse Leader. This should be a NURSING research question, not a medical question. In other words nurses should have control of the intervention and the question you pose should be quantitative in nature. A way to identify a problem of interest may be to ask yourself or colleagues questions such as: Is there a better way of doing something? Would another intervention be more effective and improve patient outcomes? What research-based intervention exists to improve current care in terms of patient, provider, and health care agency outcomes? Look in the literature for answers. Try to identify something for which you really want an answer. You might also get ideas from research articles from nursing specialty journals. A brief introduction to the paper should introduce what is the problem and how was the problem identified.
B. Scope and Review of the Problem
Then review the literature and identify the scope of the problem. You are expected to provide two recent (in the last 5 years) references (may use website or other epidemiological sources) that you cite in your brief problem description. You may, for instance, cite morbidity and mortality statistics about this problem, etc. Then search the literature and give a brief literature review of three recent (in the past 5 years) professional peer reviewed articles about the topic or document from research where gaps exist in understanding about the care or management of a patient with this problem. You may wish to investigate an issue in organizational management or healthcare delivery systems as well.
C. Question Formation
Use the PICOT format to ask your question. (see pp. 29 & 30 and chapt. 2 in Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt). PICOT format: Identify the Patient population/disease, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Time – PICOT.
In elderly women, 65 to 75 years old, do active wheelchair exercises affect leg stiffness complaints as compared to passive ROM routines over a three month period?
For example:
P= In elderly women, 65 to 75 years old
I= How do active wheel chair exercises
C= Compared to passive ROM routines
O= Affect the number of reports of stiffness in legs
T= Over a three month period
D. Formatting
The paper should be a maximum of four to five pages excluding references, double spaced. Headers with last name, first initial and page numbers should be used. All in text and references should be in APA format. Proper grammar and punctuation are essential. The writing should be clear and concise.
