Research Critiques and PICOT Statement

Prepare this assignment as a 1,500-1,750 word paper using the instructor feedback from the previous course assignments and the guidelines below.

PICOT Question

Revise the PICOT question you wrote in the Topic 1 assignment using the feedback you received from your instructor.

PICOT Question I Used: Does the attitude and lifestyle of a patient have any effect on their recovery and also on the nurses’ attitude and what are the economic implications of treatment?

COMMENT FROM TEACHER FOR PICOT QUESTION: “Your PICOT – Does the attitude and lifestyle of a patient have any effect on their recovery and also on the nurses’ attitude and what are the economic implications of treatment?  If you use the appropriate format you will see your PICOT is not complete:  P – Patient – WHAT TYPE OF PATIENT – BE SPECIFIC I – attitude and lifestyle – WHAT SPECIFICALLY – BE SPECIFIC C – compared to what? What are you doing now that doesn’t work? O – recovery – WHAT TYPE OF RECOVERY  T – over what time frame?  Also, pick the nurse or the patient but not both.”

Go ahead and revise the PICOT question to what the instructor had commented.

Research Critiques

In the Topic 2 and Topic 3 assignments, you completed a qualitative and quantitative research critique on two articles for each type of study (4 articles total). Use the feedback you received from your instructor on these assignments to finalize the critical analysis of each study by making appropriate revisions. (2 ESSAYS ATTACHED. 1 QUANTITATIVE & 1 QUALITATIVE PAPER)

The completed analysis should connect to your identified practice problem of interest that is the basis for your PICOT question.
