My PICOT QESTION: Foreground Question
In an acute healthcare setting, how effective is technological education compared to no education in reducing alarm fatigue within three months?
Professor’s Tips
The articles should include only current evidence (published within the last 5 years). You may use class resources, but these will be in addition to the final 12 published works. Do not use secondary references unless absolutely necessary (obtain approval from the instructor before using secondary sources).
As we move forward you will need to determine if you are able to obtain enough quality articles for this course. If you cannot find enough articles for this PICO(T) you should consider refining/editing your PICO(T); it is OK as long as you are still using the topic your instructor approved. Some of you may find that after doing this preliminary search for evidence the direction of the PICO(T) will question change.
This assignment will be graded using the Preliminary Search for Evidence Rubric.
