رای جستجوي اطلاعات مناسب، یافتن بهترین شواهد موجود در کمترین زمان ممکن بسیار مهم و حیاتی می باشد. از این رو آشنایی با روشهای صحیح جستجو، نحوه طرح سوال قابل پاسخ (PICO ) و پایگاههای اطلاعاتی مناسب ضروری به نظر می رسد
استراتژی عمومی جستجو در بالین
مرحله اول: طراحی PICO
در مرحله اول جستجوی اطلاعات، چند دقیقه وقت بگذارید و به خوبی در مورد سوال خود و آنچه که می خواهید در مورد آن جستجو کنید فکر کنید. جستجوگر بایستی مشکل و سوال خود را بخوبی بررسی و تجزیه و تحلیل کند. يكي از بهترين توصيه ها در این زمینه براي كادر بالینی، طرح سوال قابل پاسخ و یا به اصطلاح PICO است
مرحله دوم: تعیین کلیدواژه ها و مترادفات
پس از طراحی PICO ، کلیدواژه های جستجو بر اساس P ، I ، C و O در سوال موردنظر تعیین می شوند. واژه های مترادف و مرتبط این کلیدواژه ها از قبیل اختصارات، واژه های با دامنه وسیع تر و یا دامنه محدودتر، رسم الخط های متفاوت و ... نیز در صورت نیاز تعیین می شوند و جستجو آغاز می شود
مرحله سوم: انتخاب پایگاه اطلاعاتی مناسب
انتخاب پایگاه اطلاعاتی مناسب و مرتبط با موضوع جستجو یکی از کلیدی ترین مراحل جستجو است. با توجه به اینکه بسیاری از پایگاههای اطلاعاتی بویژه در حوزه پزشکی براساس نوع اطلاعات و مطالعات در حال تخصصی شدن هستند، آشنایی با دامنه موضوعی و کاربردهای آنها موجب بازیابی اطلاعات مناسب تر و صرفه جویی در زمان خواهد شد.
مرحله چهارم: طراحی روش جستجو
جستجو در اینترنت و پایگاه اطلاعاتی با بکارگیری روشهای ساده و در عین حال صحیح جستجو بسیار آسان و لذت بخش خواهد بود. برعکس، عدم آشنایی با این روشهای آسان ممکن است موجب شود که یا اطلاعات غیرمرتبط بازیابی کنید و یا بسیاری از اطلاعات مفید را از دست بدهید.

ICCH 2011--Agenda-setting in Routine Ambulatory Encounters: Zackary Berger
Background: Although studies have demonstrated that physicians often fail to elicit the full spectrum of patient concerns, few studies have described the ways in which physicians elicit concerns and the extent to which they set an explicit agenda.
Methods: We performed a qualitative analysis of audio recorded, transcribed routine patient-provider encounters from the Enhancing Communication and HIV Outcomes (ECHO) Study. We developed themes related to whether and how providers elicit patient concerns and then set an agenda for the visit. We developed a coding scheme that we applied to a random selection of 2 encounters per provider (33 providers, 66 encounters total).
Findings: In 41/66 encounters, providers opened the visit with a general question (“How are you doing?”). Seven visits opened with a leading question (“Everything’s okay?”) and 1 with the provider explicitly asking which concerns s/the patient wanted to discuss. Patients more often responded to these opening questions with brief positive statements (“Fine”, n=30) than with actual concerns (n=14). In 12 encounters (18%), the provider continued to elicit concerns until the patient stated that s/he had no further concerns (probe to exhaustion). In 30 encounters, there was no agenda statement. When an agenda statement was made, it most often (n=20) centered on physicians’ priorities. Rarely, there was an agenda statement made by the patient (n=3) or one that was collaboratively negotiated (n=3). In 53% of encounters (n=35), patients brought up new concerns later in their visit.
Implications: Providers frequently use generic opening questions that may not be effective in eliciting patients’ concerns, and then do not continue to elicit further concerns. Negotiation of the visit agenda is rare, and new concerns continue to arise later in most encounters. Providers need further training to more effectively invest in the beginning of each encounter.

Research studies show thatevidence-based practice(EBP) leads to higher qual-
ity care, improved patient out-
comes, reduced costs, and greater
nurse satisfaction than traditional
approaches to care.1-5 Despite
these favorable findings, many
nurses remain inconsistent in their
implementation of evidence-based
care. Moreover, some nurses,
whose education predates the in-
clusion of EBP in the nursing cur-
riculum, still lack the computer
and Internet search skills neces-
sary to implement these practices.
As a result, misconceptions about
EBP—that it’s too difficult or too
time-consuming—continue to
flourish.
In the first article in this series
(“Igniting a Spirit of Inquiry: An
Essential Foundation for Evidence-

we described EBP as a problem-
solving approach to the delivery
of health care that integrates the
best evidence from well-designed
studies and patient care data,
and combines it with patient
preferences and values and nurse
expertise. We also addressed the
contribution of EBP to improved
care and patient outcomes, de-
scribed barriers to EBP as well as
factors facilitating its implementa-
tion, and discussed strategies for
igniting a spirit of inquiry in clin-
ical practice, which is the founda-
tion of EBP, referred to as Step
Zero. (Editor’s note: although
EBP has seven steps, they are
numbered zero to six.) In this
article, we offer a brief overview
of the multistep EBP process.

each of the EBP steps, using
the context provided by the

Your Instructor’s Name:
Purpose: To identify a problem or concern that nursing can change and develop a PICOT question to guide the change project.
Directions: Use the required form below to complete the Week 3 Assignment PICOT Evidence Worksheet. This includes filling in the table with information about your research question and your PICOT elements and the second part is filling in the Evidence Worksheet.
Step 1: Select the key PICO terms for searching the evidence. Clearly define your PICOT question. List each element P (problem, population, or problem), I (intervention), C (Comparison with other treatment/current practice), and O (Desired outcome), T (Time Frame). Is the potential solution something for which you (as nurse or student) can find a solution through evidence research? Look in your book for guidelines to developing your PICOT question and also read the required articles.
Step 2: Identify the problem. What have you noticed in your work or school environment that isn’t achieving the desired patient or learning outcomes? What needs to change in nursing, what can you change with the support of evidence in the literature? Describe the problem or practice issue that you want to research. What is your practice area; clinical, education, or administration? (This is NOT where you will list your PICOT question)
Step 3: How was the practice issues identified? How did you come to know this was a problem in your clinical practice? Review the listed concerns and check all that apply.
Step 4: Identifies and documents four sources of evidence. What evidence must be gathered? What sources of reliable information will be helpful for your particular question? Describes rationale for all checked types of evidence
Step 5: What terms will you use in order to make sure that your search is wide enough to obtain required information but narrow enough to keep it focused? How will you narrow your search if needed?

The Evaluative Criteria
The process of analyzing a healthcare plan to see if it meets its goals takes some time. Because it promotes an evidence-based approach, assessment is crucial in practice consignment. Evaluation can be used to assess the effectiveness of the research. It helps determine what changes could be recommended to improve service delivery and the study's persuasiveness. An impact evaluation analyzes the intervention's direct and indirect, positive and negative, planned and unplanned consequences. If an evaluation fails to deliver fresh recognition regularly, it may result in inaccurate results and conclusions. A healthcare practitioner can utilize the indicators or variables to evaluate programs and determine whether they are legal or not (Dash et al., 2019). The variables are also used to assess if the mediation is on track to meet its objectives and obligations. Participation rates, prevalence, and individual behaviors are among the measures to be addressed.
Individual behaviors are actions taken by individuals to improve their health. People have been denied the assistance and resources they seek because of ethics and plans. In addition, different people have varied perspectives about pressure ulcers treatment. Relevance refers to how the study may contribute to a worthwhile cause (Li et al., 2019). Quality variables give statistics on the precariously rising service consignment while also attempting to provide information on the part of the care that may be changed. The participation rate refers to the total number of people participating in the study.
On the other hand, individuals may be unable to engage in the study due to a lack of cultural knowledge and ineffective consent processes. The overall number of persons in a population who have a health disease at a given time is referred to as prevalence (Li et al., 2019). Although prevalence shows the rate at which new facts arrive, it aids in determining the suitable, complete outcome-positive prestige of people.
Research Approaches
The word "research approaches" refers to techniques and procedures to draw general conclusions concerning data collection, analysis, and explanation methods. In my research, I'll employ both quantitative and qualitative methods. A qualitative research technique will reveal deterrents and hindrances to practicing change by rationalizing the reasons behind specific demeanors (Li et al., 2019). Qualitative research will collect and evaluate non-numerical data to comprehend perspectives or opinions. It will also be utilized to learn everything there is to know about a subject or to develop new research ideologies.
The quantitative method focuses on goal data and statistical or numerical analysis of data collected through a questionnaire. In the healthcare field, quantitative research may develop and execute new or enhanced work meas ...

1. PICO Asking a Good Question (PICO)
Asking the right question is a difficult skill to learn, yet it is
fundamental to the evidence-based decision-making process. This process
almost always begins with a patient question or problem. A "well-built"
question should include four parts, referred to as PICO that identify the
patient problem or population (P), intervention (I), comparison (C) and
outcome(s) (O). 1
The first step in developing a well-built question is to identify the
patient problem or population. Describe either the patient's chief
complaint or generalize the patient's condition to a larger population.
When identifying the P in PICO it is helpful to ask:
How could you describe a group with a similar problem?
How you would describe the patient to a colleague?
What are the important characteristics of this patient?
Primary Problem
Patient's main concern or chief complaint
Disease or health status
Age, Race, Sex, Previous ailments, current medications
Should these characteristics be considered as I search for evidence? 1
The P phrase could be more detailed if the added information influences
the results you expect to find.
Identifying the Intervention is the second step in the PICO process. It is
important to identify what you plan to do for that patient. This may
include the use of a specific diagnostic test, treatment, adjunctive
therapy, medication or the recommendation to the patient to use a product
or procedure. The intervention is the main consideration for that patient
or client. 1
The Comparison is the third phase of the well-built question, which is the
main alternative you are considering.1 It should be specific and limited
to one alternative choice in order to facilitate an effective computerized
search.
The Comparison is the only optional component in the PICO question. One
may only look at the Intervention without exploring alternatives, and in
some cases, there may not be an alternative.
The Outcome is the final aspect of the PICO question. It specifies the
result(s) of what you plan to accomplish, improve or affect and should be
measurable. Outcomes may consist of:
relieving or eliminating specific symptoms
improving or maintaining function
or enhancing esthetics.
Specific outcomes will yield better search results and allow you to find
the studies that focus on the outcomes you are searching for. When
defining the outcome, more effective is not acceptable unless it describes
how the intervention is more effective.
For example, more effective in preventing caries, or in decreasing
probing depths.
In addition to identifying the PICO components, it is important to clarify
the type of question you are asking and the related research method. The
categories for types of questions are:
Therapy/Prevention
Diagnosis
Etiology
Prognosis
2. Based on four PICO component, a final PICO question can be stated as:
For a patient with Tetracycline staining, will chairside (ZOOM) bleaching
as compared to over the counter White Stips decrease staining and increase
tooth whiteness.
Once you have identified a patient problem and defined your question using
PICO, you are ready to find the most current valid evidence.
The PICO Worksheet and Search Strategy provides the framework for
developing this step of the process by guiding one to write each component
of the PICO question and is also a guide in developing a search strategy,
which aids in the retrieval of relevant clinical evidence.
Conducting a computerized search with maximum efficiency to answer the
question is the second step in the EBDM process
