Conduct
research, create a PRISMA diagram, and write a 1-2 page narrative paper to
describe the review process. Introduction How do you find the best evidence to
answer PICO(T) questions? In EBP, it is essential to use your PICO(T) question
and its components as the foundation of your search for the most relevant, best
evidence to answer the question and address a health care challenge. Peer
reviewed journals contain research studies with evidence to:
1.Support the need to improve the health care challenge you have identified in
the PICO(T) question.
2.Substantiate potential interventions that will improve the problem you have identified. Make sure the identified strategies and interventions are supported by the evidence-based literature and other credible sources. The strength of the evidence should be from a credible, peer reviewed source and evaluated for merit.Use the PICO(T) question to conduct a thorough review of the literature. Likewise, it is crucial to master your skills using health care databases to conduct the search. Also, utilize the Capella library resources. Introduction This assessment is a continuation of the steps of the EBP process. The purpose of the next step is to identify information available regarding the patient safety issue by obtaining literature to support potential interventions. The acquisition of literature starts with the search. Scenario As we have discussed previously, in this course we are focusing on a patient safety issue of your choice and working through the six steps of the EBP process. We explored the step of “Ask the clinical question” with the first assessment and now we will look at the second step “Acquire the best evidence.” Keeping with the previous scenario and your role as the Director of Clinical Operations and Nursing Excellence, it is your responsibility to ensure that the best practices and protocols are implanted throughout the medical center. Your primary goals are to focus on problems in health care safety and how to solve them with evidence-based interventions as a quality improvement (EBP/QI) project. Instructions Conduct research, create a PRISMA diagram, and write a 1-2 page narrative paper to describe the review process, using the following steps:
1. Review the Capella library guide, Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing & Health Sciences.
2. Review the resource on how to use and create a PRISMA diagram.
3. Using keywords derived from your PICO(T) question, use the available search engines to locate four EBP articles.
• Use filters, such as: items with full text online, peer-reviewed publications, and publications within the last five years.
4. Use library tools, PRISMA, the Research Log spreadsheet, and RefWorks to organize and keep track of your search process.
• Be prepared to explain in a brief narrative report the steps in the process that you followed to find your literature sources.
5. Create a PRISMA diagram to illustrate your research process.

- Make sure your PICOT is labeled and ends in
a question mark.
- Here
are two examples: In the medical-surgical patient population (P), does nursing
education on the use of a nurse-conducted palliative care screening tool with
subsequent implementation of the tool (I), compared to no screening tool (C)
affect screening compliance and palliative care consultation rates
(O)
over a 12-week timeframe(T)? Among hospital critical care staff in a trauma
intensive care unit (P) will a “distress defusing program” (I) compared to no
stress reduction program (C) improve workplace resilience within an (O)
eight-week period (T)? The following resources will be used to complete your
assessment.

Dialysis is a unique contingency for many patients with kidney failures. Therefore, the necessity for the refinement of this process is undeniable because the entire procedure is cost-intensive. Thus, the assessment of whether the refinement of nursing contamination prevention measures through the paradigms of direct supervision and step by step checklist utility and its ability to lower the number of infestations to the lowest limit. The research should achieve this goal within nine months, and the minimum should be at least 50%. This feat is compared to current practices to assess which is the superior model’s ineffectiveness. This scrutiny and assessment lead to the consideration of a new PICOT question in nursing which is:Can the refinement of nursing contamination prevention in the dialysis department (P) through a step-by-step checklist (I) in comparison to its absence(C) measure lower the number of infestations(O) among dialysis infestations to the lowest number achievable preferably 50% within a nine-week period(T)?
