Picot Style Question And Writing Essay About It

• Write outline for you pages
• Write a 4-6 page paper (not including title page, references, or tables) that includes:
  • The PICOTS question. My picot question is, “In patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) symptoms in primary care settings(P), how do telemedicine consultations(I) compare to face-to-face neurology (C) exams in evaluating the likelihood of a future stroke(O) within 30 days(T)?”
  • The database search process (summarize in text; details in table).
  • A summary of three articles
    • Why – How – What
      • For “Why”: Identify the purpose of the study, review, or guideline.
      • For “How” explicitly include the type of study, the sample, the intended population, the measures used in relationship to your PICOTS question.
• Attachments
  • Complete the two attached worksheets and include them as appendices to the paper.
    • i.Database search worksheet
    • ii.Table of literature
• This is an APA paper, include:
  • Title page
  • Page numbers
  • Headings and subheadings
  • Correct fonts, spacing, and margins
  • Appendix of search strategies
  • Appendix of table of literature reviewed

For each article write a 1 – 3 paragraph synopsis of each study including:

• For a single research study indicate if the study was quantitative or qualitative; and if quantitative, what type of quantitative study; sample process and type of sampling used.
• If a review, indicate the type of review; indicate how many studies reviewed and types of studies reviewed.
• If guideline, indicate the organization(s) publishing the guideline; indicate how many studies reviewed and types of studies reviewed.

Population

• For “What” identify the key findings in relation to your PICOTS question, if the findings were statistically significant, and key limitations in relationship to your PICOTS question (as discussed by the authors). For students who use qualitative studies, rather than “statistical significance, you will need to address the methods the author used to support findings.

• A 1-2 paragraph synthesis of the summarized articles as they relate to your PICOTS question. Indicate if all the findings agree or if there are differences noted in the findings.
• Provide a short analysis of how this research may influence nursing care.
