Chosen Clinical Issue
Mental health disorders impact the brain’s the ability to think clearly. When symptoms of these disorders are uncontrolled, clients may struggle to function in daily life.
Mental health patients are often given various medications to treat psychotic disorders.
Many of these medications are safe and effective treatment.
An understanding of the appropriate medication therapy improves patient outcomes.
Description of how I developed the PICO(T) question based on the clinical issue
The PICO(T) question identifies the target population (Davies, K. S. 2011). The best intervention to treat clients presenting with psychosis and schizophrenia.
The management strategy needed to be identified (Stillwell, S. B., Fineout-Overholt, E., Melnyk, B. M., & Williamson, K. M. 2010). The safe and effective use of antipsychotic medications to treat mental disorders. The continuum performance of multitude interventions such as administering medication, arouse questions about the evidence supporting their use and effectiveness (Stillwell, Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, & Williamson, 2010).
Psychosis and schizophrenia greatly impact the brain’s normal processes, which interferes with the ability to think clearly.

STRENGHTS OF USING SYSTEMATIC REVIEW IN THE RESEARCH
Systematic reviews often, but not always, use statistical techniques to combine results of the eligible studies, or at least use scoring of the levels of evidence depending on the methodology used. Using systematic review for clinical research has many strengths. The data is also well assessed and analyzed to produce excellent research results (Stillwell, Fineout-Overholt, Melynk, & Williamson, 2010). This gives significant advantage over other literature reviews. The research findings in systematic review articles are precise, accurate, and reliable (Walden University Library, n.d.).
Specific Sample
The influence of adherence to antipsychotics medication on the quality of life among patients with schizophrenia in Indonesia
The descriptive cross-sectional research design study conducts outpatient using purposive sampling technique in order to control the sample focusing on inclusion criteria. This was done with a small number of samples. Several inclusion criteria for subject selection were a diagnosis of schizophrenia according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Endriyani at, el).
