Create A PowerPoint On Your Clinical Inquiry And Evidence

Create a PowerPoint on your clinical inquiry and evidence search

Your quest to purchase a new car begins with an identification of the factors important to you. As you conduct a search of cars that rate high on those factors, you collect evidence and try to understand the extent of that evidence. A report that suggests a certain make and model of automobile has high mileage is encouraging. But who produced that report? How valid is it? How was the data collected, and what was the sample size? In this assignment, you will delve deeper into clinical inquiry by closely examining your PICO(T) question. You also begin to analyze the evidence you have collected.

To prepare: Review the resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry. Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest for the assignment.

Use the keywords from your PICO(T) question and search at least four different databases in the Walden Library. Identify at least four relevant systematic reviews or other filtered high-level evidence, which include meta-analyses, critically-appraised topics (evidence syntheses), and critically-appraised individual articles (article synopses). The evidence will not necessarily address all the elements of your PICO(T) question, so select the most important concepts to search and find the best available evidence. Reflect on the process of creating a PICO(T) question and searching for peer-reviewed research.

Create a 6- to 7-slide PowerPoint presentation that includes:

- Identification and brief description of your chosen clinical issue of interest.

- Description of how you developed a PICO(T) question focused on the clinical issue.

- Identification of the four research databases used for the search.

- APA citations of the four relevant peer-reviewed articles at the systematic review level related to your research question. If none are available, use the highest level of evidence peer-reviewed articles.

- Description of the levels of evidence in each of the four articles, including an explanation of the strengths of systematic reviews for clinical research, with specific examples.
