Week 1: Introduction: Self and Project

Please my professor doesn’t like the previous PICO(T) I used in order #584010. She rejected the assignment. Please create a new PICO(T) either on OBESITY, or ALCOHOL ABUSE and answer the questions below;

1. Share the PICO(T) you anticipate using for the final practicum project.
* (For review of creating a PICOT see the example below or watch the media presentation located in resources and announcements)
2. What led you to choose this issue/topic? With whom have you collaborated, or will you consult about the issue at your facility?
3. What type of expenses/costs would you need to consider in helping you develop a preliminary budget for your project?

EXAMPLE FROM INSTRUCTOR IS WRITTEN BELOW:

PICOT Writing Review
Situation:
Sunnybrook Health System has started the process for acquiring Magnet status. They have scheduled multiple planning and process meetings over the next year that require attendance of all staff. Staff must attend at least 70% of the meetings live. After three meetings, live attendance of night shift staff has been about 5%. There is concern that with the small amount of interest shown from this group, the benchmark of 70% for live attendance may be jeopardized. Currently, the meeting schedule is communicated to all staff via email and posted announcements. Suzie thinks an incentive of a free meal for live attendance might improve attendance of the night shift crew.

How could a PICOT be developed with this information?

P = Population Describes the group upon which the intervention will have an effect.

Ex: night shift staff

I = Intervention – What we want to do that is different from what we currently do; the thing that is going
to impact the population identified

Ex. coupons for a free meal in the cafeteria

C = Comparison – Here the comparison is a before and after the intervention (incentive in this case)

Ex: communication of scheduled meetings via email and posted announcements

O = Outcome – What we want to see happen as a result of the intervention. The outcome should meet three criteria: direction (increase, decrease, etc), a baseline, and a goal.

Ex: increased mandatory meeting live attendance from 5% to 50%

T = Timing or Timeframe – When we expect to see the outcomes.

Ex: over the next 4 meetings

Now you can create the PICOT:

Among night shift staff(P), will offering a coupon for a free meal in the cafeteria(I), as opposed to only email invitations and posted announcements(C), increase mandatory meeting live attendance from 5% to 50% (O) over the next 4 meetings(T)?
