PICO Worksheet

Define your Question using PICO

P Who is the Patient or Population (Ex., age, sex, race, past medical history, etc.) or what is the Problem (Ex., disease process) you are interested in knowing more about?

Advanced nursing procedures for patients aged 20 to 65, in low economic statuses experiencing hypertension.

I Are you considering an Intervention? (Ex., treatment, diagnostic test, etc.) Is there a specific issue you’d like to investigate? Dietary approach, meditation, and exercise

M e t h o d o l o g y

If experimental, what research design should be used to compare the intervention group with the comparison (or control) group?

o randomized controlled trial o cohort study o case controlled studies o case reports o systematic reviews o meta analysis o editorials/expert opinions

Qualitative study of case controlled studies related to study of hypertension.

C Are you trying to Compare or decide between two options (Ex., drugs, a drug and no medication or placebo, or two diagnostic tests?) (Note: Your clinical question does not always need a specific comparison.)

ACE inhibitors

O What is the Outcome you’d like to achieve? What are you trying to do for the patient? (Ex., relieve or eliminate symptoms? reduce number of adverse events? improve function? improve test scores? To reduce cases of hypertension related issues like heart attack or stroke by ensuring patients receive appropriate and high-quality care.

State your Question resulting from PICO: How can advanced nursing procedures for patients aged 20 to 65, in low economic statuses experiencing hypertension get connected to health improvement regardless of limiting social conditions?

List keywords from your PICO question that can be used for your search. Nursing, hypertension, economic statuses, health improvement, social conditions

List other criteria –gender, age, year of publication, or language to be used to limit your search. Adults, 20-65, 2017-2021, articles written in English and containing data related to hypertension management

List the databases you plan to search: Ex., CINAHL. (Use the databases page from the Library website for suggestions.) NCBI, Science direct, NHS, CINAHL, Medline, PubMed

Choose one intervention; otherwise, interaction effect unless that is what you are interested in...

For hypertensive patients aged 20-65 and of low SES, is diet (or meditation or exercise) more effective for reducing hypertension than an ace inhibitor?

No. Question must be consistent with PICO:
