1. Evaluate the Evidence
nursing question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
Assignment 2: Evaluate the Evidence
Using a two-step process, students will evaluate and synthesize the external evidence
results from the strongest external study
retrieved during the search of the literature that supports the intervention of the PICOT
question formulated in Week 1. This is the study that answer the chosen PICOT question
and directly relate to the chosen intervention. The study must be within the discipline of
nursing and not medicine.
PICOT question:
In nurses working in a hospital setting (P), how does violence prevention training (I),
compared with no training (C), affect the prevalence and magnitude of workplace violence
against nurses in the hospital (O), within a six-month period (T).
I have attached the rubric and explanation for this assignment here :) I did start the table, so
I will include what I have started and the 2 study articles I have used (honestly don't know if
I have done it right so far!). I need a brief analysis as well. I do not have the textbook
available for this course.
Requirements: 1-2pages
Assignment 2: Evaluation Table Template
The only studies to include on this table are those studies that answer the PICOT question
after completing the rapid critical appraisal.
Use abbreviations and create a legend for readers and students.
Keep descriptions brief. There should be no complete sentences. Use bullet points only.
