Literature Review Matrix
Part I: PICO Analysis of Research Topic
P: Patient or Population
I: Anticipated Intervention
C: Comparison group or Current standard
O: Outcome desired
Source: Adapted from Elkins (2010)
Step 1: Frame your clinical question using the PICO method.
P: Patients with chronic respiratory diseases
I: Extensive comprehension
C: Extensive Comprehension and failure to acknowledge pitiable nursing examination.
O: Minimized rate of recidivism
PICO Question: Do Patients with chronic respiratory diseases who undergo extensive comprehension experience a lower rate of recidivism than their counterparts who do not acknowledge pitiable nursing examination?
Part II: Search Strategy
Using the Walden Library and other appropriate databases, locate ten scholarly articles that pertain to a practice issue of interest to you and that is appropriate for an evidence-based practice project.
