Evidence Evaluation for PICO(T) Clinical Question

Introduction The purpose of this assignment is to help you begin to develop the skills that are necessary to sort the evidence to determine the most appropriate level of evidence for your PICO(T) question. For this assignment choose three quality studies from your search results, and complete columns one through seven in your Evidence Evaluation Table (EET) for these same articles. You will eventually be using this technique to appraise at least 12 quality recently published works for your final synthesis paper. Assignment Guidelines Evidence Evaluation Table (EET): Excel File The purpose of creating this table is to organize the evidence that you find r/t your clinical question. In subsequent modules, you will add data to columns and more articles (rows) as directed until you gather at least 12 quality recent studies for your final synthesis paper in Module 13. This EET will be edited and re-submitted in weeks 6, 7, 8, 9, & 13. During this module, you will begin the process as you will complete the first seven columns. Instructions Create an Excel file for your evidence table using the Assignment 2.1: Spirit of Inquiry template (Excel) provided. Use the Sample EET (Excel) provided for a reference point. Include the three studies that represent a variety of published data regarding your PICO(T). They cannot be published longer than five years ago. Use abbreviations and create a legend for readers and yourself. Keep your descriptions brief. There should be no complete sentences. The row is cited, but If you copy five consecutive words or more use quotations and the page number. Complete columns 1 through 7 for your three quality recent (5 years or newer) published works.
