1 Using a PICO(T) Framework and Evidence to Develop Care Practices Capella University NURS-FPX4030: Making Evidence-Based Decisions

Utilizing a PICO(T) Framework and Evidence to Develop Care Practices Healthcare practitioners usually experience exceptional treatment outcomes during their work and might want to use research to effectively determine their scientific exploitations. Enhancing knowledge and updating oneself about modern nursing practices is influential. The best approach for a healthcare practitioner that wants to use research is to work with experts to communicate their plan and get a reliable review. The expert might want to understand the research question (McClinton, 2022). Using the PICOT framework, research questions that determine the impact of a therapy can be easily summarized. PICO(T) is a process that enables research to develop questions that need answers. The acronym means population, intervention, comparison, outcome, and time. Population is the sample of subjects for the research while intervention is the treatment for the subjects, and comparison recognizes the intention of the plan as a reference category for comparing with the treatment strategy. The outcome refers to the intended result for determining the reliability of the intervention (McClinton, 2022). Time explains the period for collecting data. Using secondary research, an explanation of a practice challenge about patients with stroke will be offered in detail. The PICOT(T) procedure will be used to get credible sources that can help answer the research question and describe article findings while discussing the importance of the conclusions of the results.
