My PICOT question: In the ICU, how can a nurse led ventilator-acquired pneumonia prevention bundle/strategy decrease the incidence of complications associated with ventilator-associated pneumonia in the adult patient who has been intubated?
- Choose a problem faced by clients in your practice area that you think is important and would like to learn more about
- Use your knowledge of PICO to develop a well-built narrow clinical question.
- Write a five (5) page literature review paper on the standing knowledge of the chosen question.
- Include a minimum of five (5) journal articles, at least three (3) from nursing journals.
- The body of the paper should be made of the following titled sections: Title (introduction), Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion.
- Include a 1-page introduction of your topic (background information), the focus/aim of your review. The introduction should include a statement of the problem, briefly explain the significance of your topic study, and act to introduce the reader to your definitions and background. Must include your main statement (i.e. the purpose of this review is…{PICO Question}).
- The method section should include sources, databases, keywords, inclusion/exclusion criteria, levels of evidence, and other information that establishes credibility to your paper.
- The results should summarize the findings of studies that have been conducted on your topic. For each study, you should briefly explain its purpose, procedure for data collection, and major findings. This is the section where you will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of studies
- The discussion should be like a conclusion portion of an essay paper. It serves as a summary of the body of your literature review and should highlight the most important findings. Your analysis should help you to draw conclusions. In this section, you would discuss any consensus or disagreement on the topic. It can also include any strengths and weaknesses in general of the research area. If you believe there is more to research, you may include that here.
- Finally, you will need to conclude your paper. At this point, you have put substantial effort into your paper. Close this chapter with a summary of the paper, major findings, and any major recommendations for the profession.
