As A Practice Scholar The Interdisciplinary Team You Are Lead

As a practice scholar, the interdisciplinary team you are leading develops the below two practice questions in PICOT format to drive practice change. Practice Question 1: Does motivational interviewing during a regularly scheduled well-child visit for children between 5-19 years with a BMI of 30 and above as compared to practice as usual, influence BMI, BP, quality of life, and daily physical activity over 8-10 weeks?

1-Identify the PICOT elements.

2-What are key search terms identified in the practice question? Conduct a library search using these search terms to locate a research study addressing this practice problem and consider the following.

3-What is the research-evidence based intervention addressed in the study?

4-What is the quantifiable outcome(s)? How will the outcome(s) be measured? What potential reliable and valid measurements/tools may be used to measure this quantifiable data?

5-Is this practice question answerable within 8-10 weeks? Why or why not?

Practice Question 2: In the adult critical care population, does a research-based skin care integrity bundle, compared to standard care, influence the incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injuries over an 8-10 week time period?

Paper For Above Instructions

Practice Question 1

PICOT Elements: The PICOT format consists of the following elements:

  • P (Population): Children between 5-19 years with a BMI of 30 and above.
  • I (Intervention): Motivational interviewing during well-child visits.
  • C (Comparison): Practice as usual.
  • O (Outcome): Influence on BMI, BP, quality of life, and daily physical activity.
  • T (Time): 8-10 weeks.

Key Search Terms: The key search terms identified in this practice question are “motivational interviewing,” “well-child visit,” “BMI,” “children,” and “physical activity.”

Research Evidence-Based Intervention: The research study that addresses this practice problem is likely to explore the impact of motivational interviewing on childhood obesity and related health metrics. Studies such as those conducted by Resnicow et al. (2020) indicate that motivational interviewing can lead to positive behavior changes in children regarding dietary habits and physical activity levels.

Quantifiable Outcomes: The quantifiable outcomes include changes in BMI, blood pressure (BP), quality of life metrics, and daily physical activity rates. These outcomes can be measured using:

  • Body mass index calculations using clinical measurements of height and weight.
  • Systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings taken with a sphygmomanometer.
  • Quality of life can be assessed using validated questionnaires such as the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL).
  • Daily physical activity can be tracked using accelerometers or self-reported activity logs.

Feasibility of the Question: This practice question is answerable within 8-10 weeks. The timeframe allows for the implementation of the intervention in well-child visits and the collection of data relating to BMI, BP, and physical activity before and after the intervention.

Practice Question 2

PICOT Elements: For practice question 2, the PICOT elements are defined as follows:

  • P (Population): Adult critical care patients.
  • I (Intervention): Research-based skin care integrity bundle.
  • C (Comparison): Standard care.
  • O (Outcome): Incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injuries.
  • T (Time): 8-10 weeks.

Key Search Terms: The key search terms for this question include “hospital-acquired pressure injuries,” “skin care integrity bundle,” “critical care,” and “standard care.”

Research Evidence-Based Intervention: A recent framework for skin care integrity bundles, such as that proposed by O'Brien et al. (2022), provides a comprehensive approach to preventing pressure injuries in critically ill patients, encompassing assessment and daily skin care protocols.

Quantifiable Outcomes: The primary quantifiable outcome is the incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injuries, which can be measured through:

  • Clinical assessments of pressure injuries documented by nursing staff according to defined criteria.
  • Use of the Braden Scale for predicting pressure sore risk.

Feasibility of the Question: This practice question is also answerable within 8-10 weeks. During this period, critical care units can implement the skin care integrity bundle, monitor patients, and analyze data regarding any change in pressure injury rates.

Conclusion

Both practice questions emphasize the importance of implementing evidence-based interventions to improve health outcomes in specific populations. By employing robust methodologies and measurement tools, the team can drive meaningful practice changes.
