PICOT Worksheet Assignment (graded)
Assignment
Purpose
Across the healthcare industry, evidence is used to shape and direct practice in order to improve health outcomes and organizational efficiency. Using a data-driven approach to practice that is grounded in findings from valid, reliable research endeavors is referred to as evidence-based practice (EBP).
While many different models for EBP exist, a core methodology is shared within each. Central to EBP models is the review of scholarly sources to appraise the quality of evidence available regarding an identified practice issue or intervention. To guide the process, the development of a PICOT statement is often the first step.
A PICOT statement includes a brief description of the problem and population impacted, intervention, comparison, outcome, and anticipated timeframe in order to better understand the issue. This step provides clarity and direction as the critique of evidence from scholarly literature is initiated.
MSN-prepared nurses are uniquely positioned with knowledge and skills to identify problems, and to plan, implement, and evaluate evidence-based interventions to improve practice-related outcomes. Toward that end, the assignments in this course are designed to cultivate skills in the development of a PICOT statement (week 2 assignment), and in the critique of evidence from scholarly literature sources (week 5 assignment). As a culminating activity that, a proposal for an evidence-based practice intervention will be developed in week 7 that builds upon the learning accomplished through the assignments in weeks 2 and 5.
The purpose of this assignment is to explore the development of a PICOT statement that can serve as a springboard for the critique of scholarly evidence surrounding the identified practice problem and intervention to improve outcomes.

Assignment Overview
Review the elements included in a PICOT statement to guide evidence-based nursing practice.
Consider various problems that impact nursing practice, health, or organizational outcomes. You are welcome to consider a specific issue that is interesting to you professionally or an issue that impacts your future MSN role.
Once you have identified one practice issue, you will complete the PICOT Worksheet by addressing the items below. Using a minimum of two scholarly nursing sources, current within five years:
Identify and describe the selected practice issue. Explain why the issue is important to the profession of nursing and its impact on health-related outcomes.
Define each element of your PICOT statement in one or two sentences, being sure to address all of the following:
P – Population and problem – What is the nursing practice concern or problem, and whom does it affect?
I – Intervention – What evidence-based solution for the problem would you like to apply?
C – Comparison – What is another solution to the problem? (Note that this is typically the current practice, no intervention at all, or alternative solutions.)
O – Outcome – Very specifically, how will you know that the intervention worked? What will be the indicator of success, and how will that outcome be measured?
T – Timeframe – Target date for outcome achievement.
Construct your PICOT statement in the standard narrative format and define each letter separately.
