The purpose of this blog is to support best practices in education, research, and patient care by creating a current evidence-based repository for Emory SON students and faculty and EHC nursing staff.
The blog is a collaboration of Emory Healthcare Nursing (EHC) and Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing (SON) and the Clinical Informationists at Woodruff Health Sciences Center Library of Emory University.
PICO and formulating your search
Use PICO(T) to develop your question and identify keywords to search.
You must have at least three concepts to develop an effective search. Most likely you may not have a comparison to your intervention.
PICO(T) stands for:
- Population/ Patient Problem: Who is your patient? What is your population? What is the problem?
- Intervention: What are doing for the patient? What therapy? Treatment?
- Comparison: Are you looking at an alternative for your intervention? You may or may not have a comparison in your PICO
- Outcome: What outcome are you working towards? Length of stay? Patient satisfaction?
What is the effectiveness of early ambulation, compared to bed rest, on decreasing post-op DVTs in adult patients.
