1. Essay: Challenging aspects of EBP
Essay: Challenging aspects of EBPEssay: Challenging aspects of EBPFormulating a question
that targets the goal of your research is a challenging but essential task. The question plays
a crucial role in all other aspects of the research, including the determination of the
research design and theoretical perspective to be applied, which data will be collected, and
which tools will be used for analysis. It is therefore essential to take the time to ensure that
the research question addresses what you actually want to study. Doing so will increase
your likelihood of obtaining meaningful results.In this first component of the Course
Project, you formulate questions to address a particular nursing issue or problem. You use
the PICOT model—patient/population, intervention/issue, comparison, and outcome—
outlined in the Learning Resources to design your questions. To prepare: Review the article,
“Formulating the Evidence Based Practice Question: A Review of the Frameworks,” found in
the Learning Resources for this week. Focus on the PICOT model for guiding the
development of research questions. Review the section beginning on page 71 of the course
text, titled, “Developing and Refining Research Problems” in the course text, which focuses
on analyzing the feasibility of a research problem.Reflect on an issue or problem that you
have noticed in your nursing practice. Consider the significance of this issue or
problem. Generate at least five questions that relate to the issue which you have identified.
Use the criteria in your course text to select one question that would be most appropriate in
terms of significance, feasibility, and interest. Be prepared to explain your
rationale. Formulate a preliminary PICO question—one that is answerable—based on your
analysis. What are the PICO variables (patient/population, intervention/issue, comparison,
and outcome) for this question?Note: Not all of these variables may be appropriate to every
question. Be sure to analyze which are and are not relevant to your specific question.Using
the PICOT variables that you determined for your question, develop a list of at least 10
keywords that could be used when conducting a literature search to investigate current
research pertaining to the question. To complete: Write a 3- to 4-page paper that includes
the following:A summary of your area of interest, an identification of the problem that you
have selected, and an explanation of the significance of this problem for nursing practiceThe
5 questions you have generated and a description of how you analyzed them for
feasibilityYour preliminary PICOT question and a description of each PICOT variable
relevant to your questionAt least 10 possible keywords that could be used when conducting
a literature search for your PICOT question and a rationale for your selectionsEssay:

to critique the strengths and weaknesses of the literature that you have found. Finally, the
chapter examines how to synthesize the research findings into a written literature
