Nursing Interventions to Prevent Patient Falls

Introduction:
The first step in this EBP project is to identify a nursing clinical practice problem and then write a PICOT question to address the clinical practice problem.
The Learning Outcomes for this assignment are to:
Describe a nursing clinical practice problem that can be answered with research evidence.
Write a PICO(T) question to address the identified clinical practice problem.
Correctly identify each component of the PICO(T) question.
Summarize one peer-reviewed, experimental or quasi-experimental research study that supports the proposed intervention.
Steps:
Select a nursing clinical practice problem from the list of approved topics or obtain prior approval from your Instructor to use a clinical practice problem that is not on the approved list. Click here to view the list of approved topics for the EBP project.
Describe the nursing clinical practice problem and why the problem is significant to nursing practice. Include data, evidence, or statistics to demonstrate that the identified clinical practice problem is a priority.
Write a PICOT question to address the identified clinical practice problem.
Use the question templates for selected clinical foreground questions (Polit & Beck, 2018, Table 2.1, p. 31) to state the PICOT question.
Identify and label each component of the PICOT question.
Ensure the PICOT question describes the clinical practice problem, the proposed intervention, the comparison intervention, the outcome, and includes a timeframe.
Review the PICOT question video in the learning materials for this module as needed.
Search the literature to find one (1) quantitative (randomized control, or experimental, or quasi-experimental) study published in a peer-reviewed journal within the past five (5) years, that addresses the identified practice problem and supports the proposed intervention.
Summarize the research study by describing the research design, sample and setting, major variables (independent variable, dependent variable), major findings, and application of findings to the proposed practice problem and PICOT question. Cite the article using APA format.
Students may use research studies that are meta-analyses or systematic reviews to provide only background information to demonstrate the existence of the clinical practice problem or to show why the practice problem is a priority. Students may also use meta-analyses or systematic reviews to search for randomized control, experimental, or quasi-experimental research studies.
Directions for the paper:
Write a paper that is 2 - 3 pages in length (excluding the student title page and reference list).
Write one to two paragraphs describing the nursing clinical practice problem.
Discuss why the problem is significant to nursing practice.
Include data, evidence, or statistics to demonstrate that the identified clinical practice problem is a priority.
Write one to two paragraphs describing the PICOT question.
Use the question templates for selected clinical foreground questions (Polit & Beck, 2018, Table 2.1, p. 31) to state the PICOT question.
Identify and label each component of the PICOT question.
Ensure the PICOT question describes the clinical practice problem, the proposed intervention, the comparison intervention, the outcome, and includes a timeframe.
Write two to four paragraphs summarizing the research study by describing the:
research design,
sample and setting,
major variables (independent variable, dependent variable),
major findings, and
application of findings to the proposed practice problem and PICOT question.
Follow the APA Style requirements for written assignments when writing this paper.
