PICO(T) Questions and an Evidence-Based Approach

OVERALL COMMENTS

See your assessment for additional feedback.

Perla,

Thank you for submitting your 3rd assessment! You are off to a great start with your PICO(T) investigation into childhood obesity. Unfortunately, there was unaddressed criteria: Criterion 2. This section is asking that you discuss your actual sources of evidence. This is where you would introduce your articles, books, websites, etc.(sources). Then, moving into criterion 3, you go into depth with the findings from the articles. So, criterion 2 is merely "identifying" your sources. If you need some clarification, Im happy to help!! Let me know

When you resubmit, please highlight your changes in yellow so I may better see your edits! Thanks so much!!

Best,

Dr. T

CRITERIA 1

Define a practice issue to be explored via a PICO(T) approach and develop a PICO(T)-formatted research question.COMPETENCY

NON_PERFORMANCEDoes not define a practice issue to be explored via a PICO(T) approach.BASICIdentifies a practice issue, but does not frame it within the context of a PICO(T) question or approach.PROFICIENTDefines a practice issue to be explored via a PICO(T) approach. Develops a PICO(T)-formatted research question.DISTINGUISHEDDefines a practice issue to be explored via a PICO(T) approach. Develops a PICO(T)-formatted research question. Notes how the exploration of the practice issue will benefit from a PICO(T) approach.

COMMENTS:

You did a great job at defining a practice issue to be explored via a PICO(T) approach. To achieve a higher score, you need to note noted how the exploration of childhood obesity will benefit from a PICO(T) approach. Great start! 

CRITERIA 2

Identify sources of evidence that could be potentially effective in answering a PICO(T) question.COMPETENCY

NON_PERFORMANCEDoes not identify sources of evidence that could be potentially effective in answering a PICO(T) question.BASICAttempts to identify sources of evidence, but does not connect them to the PICO(T) question, or the connection is unclear.PROFICIENTIdentifies sources of evidence that could potentially be effective in answering a PICO(T) question.DISTINGUISHEDIdentifies sources of evidence that could be potentially effective in answering a PICO(T) question. Presents criteria or rational used to determine potential to answer the PICO(T) question.

COMMENTS:

I noticed that you did not identify sources of evidence. What are the articles, books, or websites (sources) you found while researching related to childhood obesity and your PICOT question? What made you decide to use these particular sources to answer your PICOT? 

CRITERIA 3

Explain the findings from articles or other sources of evidence that are relevant to the health care issue.COMPETENCY

NON_PERFORMANCEDoes not explain the findings from articles or other sources of evidence that are relevant to the health care issueBASICLists the findings from articles or other sources of evidence, but does not offer a full explanation.PROFICIENTExplains the findings from articles or other sources of evidence that are relevant to the health care issue.DISTINGUISHEDExplains the findings from articles or other sources of evidence that are relevant to the health care issue. Notes which sources are the most credible.

COMMENTS:

Good job explaining the findings from your sources of evidence as it relates to child obesity and your PICO(T) question. To take this a step further, note which sources are the most credible. Good start!

CRITERIA 4

Explain the relevance of the findings from chosen sources of evidence to making decision related to a PICO(T) question.COMPETENCY

NON_PERFORMANCEDoes not explain the relevance of the findings from chosen sources of evidence.BASICIdentifies the relevance of the findings from chosen sources of evidence, but does not offer a full explanation of how it relates to the PICO(T) question.PROFICIENTExplains the relevance of the findings from chosen sources of evidence to making decision related to a PICO(T) question.DISTINGUISHEDExplains the relevance of the findings from chosen sources of evidence to making decision related to a PICO(T) question. Notes which findings are the most relevant or likely to lead to positive outcomes.

COMMENTS:

I see you identified the relevance of the findings from chosen sources of evidence; however, you did not offer a full explanation. There was another article added that seemed as though "findings" were being discussed. How does your chosen source relate to your PICO(T) question? Which sources were most relevant or likely to lead to a positive outcome?

CRITERIA 5

NON_PERFORMANCEDoes not organize content so ideas flow logically with smooth transitions.
