EBP Searchable Clinical Questions with Annotated Bibliography Guidelines with Scoring Rubric Purpose

EBP Searchable Clinical Questions with Annotated Bibliography Guidelines with Scoring Rubric
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to: a) formulate a PICO (T)-formatted clinical question, b) identify key terms for conducting a review of the literature, c) search for relevant evidence in scholarly databases, and provide a summary of research articles to support an answer to the clinical question.
Course Outcomes
Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:
(CO#3) Apply research principles to interpretation of the content of published research studies. (PO 9)
(CO#4) Analyze data from relevant sources, including technology, to inform the delivery of care. (PO 4)
(CO#5) Analyze the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials of Master’s Education in Nursing. (PO 1)

Total Points Possible: 200
Requirements:
1. Select a health-related topic applicable to your practice setting and formulate a clinical question using the PICO (T) format.
2. Identify key terms that you will use to search the literature, based on the PICO (T) elements
3. .
4. Search for information on your formulated clinical question in each of these three databases: PubMed, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), and The Joanna Briggs Institute database.
5.
6. Present the results of the searches in the tables provided in the “Evidence-Based Practice Searchable Clinical Questions Form” found in Course Resources. Place this completed form in the Dropbox.
7. From the articles you found during your database searches, choose four (4) scholarly peer reviewed articles that would help provide an answer or provide insight to your clinical research question and write them in an annotated bibliography format. Include which database you found the 4 articles that you choose for your annotated bibliography. Submit this APA 6th ed format paper into the Dropbox for a Turnitin Review.
8. Submit the Searchable Clinical Questions Form and your annotated bibliography paper to the Dropbox by the due date. The annotated bibliography is the only part of this assignment that you need to have the Turnitin similarity report less than 25%.

PREPARING THE PAPER
1. In Course Resources, you will find the ‘Week 5 Evidence-Based Practice Searchable Clinical Questions Form’. This is the form that you can use to document your search process and results. Below, you will find an example of how to complete the tables as you are doing each search
2. The notes section is to be completed in detail as each step of the search process is performed.
3. An optimal range of 10-15 scholarly articles is to be achieved for each database search. If this is not possible, a detailed explanation is to be included in the notes section. Do not stop too soon or you may miss some valuable article to help answer your clinical question. You want to be able to identify ten scholarly peer reviewed articles that would help answer or provide insight to your clinical research question so you can summarize them in an annotated bibliography written in APA 6th ed format. The annotated bibliography will be a separate Word document in APA 6th ed format.

Example: PubMed
Clinical Question: In patients with muscle spasms, is relaxation as good as anti-spasmodic medication in reducing the incidence of muscle spasms?*
The PICO (T) elements are:
P = patients with muscle spasms
I = anti-spasmodic medication
C= relaxation
O = reducing incidence of muscle spasms
T = not applicable in this case
Search Number P I C O T # of Results Notes
1 Patients with muscle spasms 8750 I searched on the P, “patients with muscle spasms” by typing it in the search field and clicking “Search”
2 antispasmodic 46690 I searched on the I, “antispasmodic” by typing it into the search field and clicking “Search.”
3 relaxation 119010 I clicked “Clear” and typed “relaxation” in the search field. CINAHL suggested “relaxation techniques” so I chose to search on this.
4 Relaxation techniques 35602 I added techniques to the search field and clicked “Search”.
5 muscle spasms 23937 I clicked “Clear” and typed “muscle spasms” in the search field and clicked “Search.”
6 Antispasmodic Relaxation techniques 936 I clicked on “advanced search” and combined Search #2 and Search #4 using the Boolean operator “AND”. I clicked “Search.”.
7 Antispasmodic Relaxation techniques 7120 I clicked on advanced search and used the Boolean Term “or”. I chose Full text and 5 years then clicked search.
8 Relaxation techniques Muscle spasms 285 I clicked on advanced search and combined relaxation techniques and muscle spasms.
9 Antispasmodic Relaxation techniques Muscle spasms 17 Still using the Advanced Search, I used all three terms with Boolean term “And” between antispasmodic and relaxation techniques and muscle spasms. Clicked search.
10 Antispasmodic Relaxation techniques Muscle spasms 5 I clicked on advanced search, added Boolean term “and” plus indicated English only, full-text, and time frame 2011-2016.(5 years) Clicked “Search”. This was not in the range of 10-15 scholarly articles so decided to look at each of these articles to see if any of them would help answer my clinical research question. I then chose three of these articles for my annotated bibliography.
