EVIDENCE-BASED PROJECT, PART 2: ADVANCED LEVELS OF CLINICAL INQUIRY AND SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS

 To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.
  • Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest you identified in Module 2 for the Assignment. This PICOT question will remain the same for the entire course.
  • Use the key words from the PICO(T) question you developed and search at least four different databases in the Walden Library. Identify at least four relevant systematic reviews or other filtered high-level evidence, which includes meta-analyses, critically-appraised topics (evidence syntheses), critically-appraised individual articles (article synopses). The evidence will not necessarily address all the elements of your PICO(T) question, so select the most important concepts to search and find the best evidence available.
  • Reflect on the process of creating a PICO(T) question and searching for peer-reviewed research.

The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 2: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews

Create a 6- to 7-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

  • Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest.
  • Describe how you developed a PICO(T) question focused on your chosen clinical issue of interest.
  • Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected.
  • Provide APA citations of the four relevant peer-reviewed articles at the systematic-reviews level related to your research question. If there are no systematic review level articles or meta-analysis on your topic, then use the highest level of evidence peer reviewed article.
  • Describe the levels of evidence in each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, including an explanation of the strengths of using systematic reviews for clinical research. Be specific and provide examples.


USE THIS INFO TO FRAME PP.


My clinical issue of interest for this assignment is the impact of early 

mobilization on recovery outcomes in ICU patients.

For this assignment, the PICO (T) question is: 

How does early mobilization, compared to standard care, affect recovery outcomes in ICU patients?

Patient population – ICU patients

The intervention of interest -early mobilization

The comparison group – those receiving standard care

The desired outcomes are improved recovery, shorter ICU stays, and faster weaning from mechanical ventilation. 

The timeframe – within the ICU stay


 Early mobilization has become a focus in ICU care as a strategy to reduce complications related to prolonged bed rest, including muscle atrophy, prolonged hospital stays, and delayed ventilator weaning. To investigate this topic thoroughly, it is essential to transform this clinical issue into a well-defined PICO (T) question, which serves as a framework for searching databases and gathering relevant evidence.
