I HAVE ALREADY SEARCHED ALL 4 ARTICLES NEEDED FOR THIS EVIDENCE-BACSED RESEARCH PAPER AND ATTACHED THE LINK BELOW EACH PARAGRAPH.

Paragraph #1: This is your opening paragraph. Start with an introduction statement. What is your PICO question? Describe why was it important (share the dollars, morbidity / mortality, statistics, safety stats you found with citation)?

Find a credible scholarly or government resource published within the past 5 years that provides you with at least two facts (ex. costs, morbidity, mortality, safety, or other related statistics) for why your clinical problem is important (provide statistics). (The internet is a great place to get this information…just don’t forget to cite this information and add it to your reference page).

(Article Name: Improving Glycemic Control and Quality of Life With Diabetes Self-Management Education: A Pilot Project)

INCLUDE THE BELOW STATISTICS IN PARA 1.

Fact 1: (T2DM is a prominent chronic disease in the United States, with the total medical cost of diagnosing and treating diabetes exceeding $245 billion per year)

Fact 2: (Estimates indicate as many as 25.9% of American older adults age 65 and older have T2DM)

(Despite new pharmacological innovations and advances in diabetes research, only 14.3% of patients with diabetes are at their glycemic goal)

(FOR PARAGRAPH 2,3,4: HAVE TO USE THE SAME ARTICLE)

My PICO(T) question: Are older adults having type II diabetes (P) who have practiced healthy diet and lifestyle changes (I) at decreased risk for higher glycated hemoglobin and blood sugar level (O) compared with (P) older adults who do not practice healthy diet and lifestyle changes?

Paragraph #2: What did your nursing quantitative research article add to your knowledge on this topic? State the design (descriptive, correlational, predictive correlational, experimental, or quasi-experimental), sampling method, and setting of the study (this should only take one sentence: e.g. “Smith and Johnson conducted a predictive correlational study using a convenience sample from a psychiatric outpatient clinic.”). State the major findings of the study (maximum 3 findings). The findings you share should come from the results or discussion settings and should be relevant to your PICO question and your practice as a nurse.

Paragraph #3. Mention the major research variables in your article. Do not include demographic variables unless they are important to the results of the study. For each major variable, give a conceptual and operational definition (if the authors did not give a conceptual definition you can say “not given”). Give the level of measurement for each variable (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio).

Paragraph #4: Using the skills you have learned in your critique of a research article, describe two strengths or two weaknesses (or one strength and one weakness) that you found as you read this article. Go back to what you learned in your article critique about sampling methods, measurement methods (ex. questionnaires), and data collection (how did they collect the data to make sure you are being thorough in your assessment. Be specific, so that your instructor, if reading the article, can find them too. Do not re-state the limitations provided by the authors of your study unless they have to do with the study’s sampling, measurement methods, or data collection. Do not discuss the research design or the descriptive or inferential statistics used by the authors as a strength or weakness of the study, as this is not related to with the study’s sampling, measurement methods, or data collection.

Paragraph #5: What is the name and website of the clinical practice guideline that you found? Share at least three facts that you found within the guideline that is relevant to the PICO question and your practice as a BSN nurse and cite the guideline appropriately.

Find a clinical practice guideline that relates to your question. It must have information that relates to the role of the nurse. Guideline is the most recent version or published within the past five years. (It is true that guidelines are not always updated within 5 years so you will need to discuss this.) There are several websites listed in your textbook that can help with searching for guidelines. The UTA library also has resources for clinical practice guidelines.
