OVERALL COMMENTS

Hello Eduardo,

Great start! The purpose of the assessment is to practice applying the PICO(T) framework to your research question. The PICO(T) framework intends to expedite the searching process while giving you a systemic method to do so. Please review my feedback and if you have any questions, please contact me.

 I do not see the explanation of the PICO(T) framework, or the PICO(T) question. Also the first paragraph mentions a study but I do not see a source.

Perseverance and hard work always prevails!  

Respectfully,

Dr. Rosas

RUBRICS

CRITERIA 1

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

Apply an evidence-based practice model to address a practice issue.

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:

Good start by defining a practice issue; however, you did not frame it within the context of a PICO(T) question or approach. In order to earn a distinguished designation level, you also needed to note how the exploration of the practice issue will benefit from a PICO(T) approach. Addressing all the components of this criterion in your rubric would earn a higher competency level. If you would like to, please highlight any changes to ensure that I do not miss any of your edits.

It stands for:

· P – Patient/population/problem.

· I – Intervention.

· C – Comparison (of potential interventions, typically).

· O - Outcome(s).

· T - Time frame (if time frame is relevant).

CRITERIA 2

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

Analyze the relevance and potential effectiveness of evidence when making a decision.

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:

You did well identifying sources of evidence, but did not connect them to the PICO(T) question/the connection was unclear. In addition to earning full credit here, you needed to present criteria or rationale used to determine potential to answer the PICO(T) question. Please make sure to refer to the assessment rubric so not to miss any components to the criterion and let me know if you have any questions.  If you would like to, please highlight any changes to ensure that I do not miss any of your edits.

CRITERIA 3

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

Interpret findings from scholarly quantitative, qualitative, and outcomes research articles and studies.

NON_PERFORMANCEDoes not explain the findings from articles or other sources of evidence that are relevant to the health care issue BASICLists 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:

While you listed the findings from your sources of evidence, you did not offer a full explanation. In addition, to earn full credit here you needed to note which sources are the most credible. I encourage you to refer back to the rubric to ensure all criterions are met. If you would like to, please highlight any changes to ensure that I do not miss any of your edits. 

CRITERIA 4

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

Analyze the relevance and potential effectiveness of evidence when making a decision.

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. I encourage you to refer back to the rubric to ensure you cover all expected criteria. If you would like to, please highlight any changes to ensure that I do not miss any of your edits.
