PICOT is a mnemonic used to describe the four elements of a good clinical question. It stands for:
P--Patient/Problem I--Intervention C--Comparison O—Outcome
T—Timeframe (for this program the time frame will be 8-weeks)
In _________(P), how does __________ (I) compared to _________ (C) influence _________ (O) over ________ (T)?
Many people find that it helps them clarify their question, which in turn makes it easier to find an answer.
Use PICOT to generate terms - these you'll use in your literature search for the current best evidence. Once you have your PICOT terms, you can then use them to re-write your question.
Question Templates for Asking PICOT Questions:
P: Population/disease (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity, with a certain disorder)
I: Intervention or variable of interest (exposure to a disease, risk behavior, prognostic factor)
C: Comparison (compared to current process if there is a process in place, or compared to not having a specific tool, for example educating diabetes patient with xyz tool compared to educating patient without any tool)
O: Outcome: (risk of disease, accuracy of a diagnosis, rate of occurrence of adverse outcome)
T: Time: The time it takes to demonstrate an outcome (i.e., the time it takes for the intervention to achieve an outcome or how long participants are observed) (For our program, the timeframe will be 8-weeks).
Example of PICOT format question:
Example:
Population: Healthcare workers in surgical unit
Intervention: education on proper handwashing
Comparison: no handwashing
Outcomes: reduce infection
Timeframe: over a 8-weeks period.
