Create a 3 page submission in which you develop a PICO(T) question for the diagnosis
you worked with in the first two assessments and evaluate the evidence you locate,
which could help to answer the question.
PICO(T) 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 PICO(T) is to develop a question that can help guide the
search for evidence (Boswell & Cannon, 2015). From this perspective, a PICO(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 PICO(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 PICO(T) Process activity before you
develop the plan proposal. This activity offers an opportunity to practice working through
creating a PICO(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.

Instruction:
After reviewing the materials you created to research a specific diagnosis in the first two
assessments, apply the PICO(T) process to develop a research question and research
it.
Your initial goal is to define the population, intervention, comparison, and outcome. In
some cases, a time frame is relevant and you should include that as well, when writing
a question you can research related to your issue of interest. After you define your
question, research it, and organize your initial findings, select the two sources of
evidence that seem the most relevant to your question and analyze them in more depth.
Specifically, interpret each source's specific findings and best practices related to your
chosen diagnosis, and explain how the evidence would help you plan and make
decisions related to your question.
In your submission, make sure you address the following grading criteria:
● Define a practice issue to be explored via a PICO(T) approach. Create a
PICO(T)-formatted research question
● Identify sources of evidence that could be potentially effective in answering
a PICO(T) question (databases, journals, websites, etc.).
● Explain the findings from articles or other sources of evidence as it relates
to the identified health care issue.
● Explain the relevance of the findings from chosen sources of evidence to
making decision related to a PICO(T) question.
● Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and professional with
correct grammar and spelling using the current APA style.
scoring guide criteria:
● Competency 1: Interpret findings from scholarly quantitative, qualitative,
and outcomes research articles and studies.
○ Explain the findings from articles or other sources of evidence
that are relevant to the health care issue.
● Competency 2: Analyze the relevance and potential effectiveness of
evidence when making a decision.
○ Identify sources of evidence that could be potentially effective
in answering a PICO(T) question.
○ Explain the relevance of the findings from chosen sources of
evidence to making decision related to a PICO(T) question.
● Competency 3: Apply an evidence-based practice model to address a
practice issue.
○ Define a practice issue to be explored via a PICO(T) approach
and develop a PICO(T)-formatted research question.
● Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication strategies to
lead practice changes based on evidence.
○ Organize content so ideas flow logically with smooth
transitions; contains few errors in grammar/punctuation, word
choice, and spelling.
○ Apply APA formatting to in-text citations and references
exhibiting nearly flawless adherence to APA format.
