Assignments: EBP and PICO Formation
Consider this question, “Do RN’s who practice a Christian faith demonstrate more empathy towards patients with chronic diseases than RN’s who state they do not practice the Christian faith?”
In narrative format, identify the independent variable and the dependent variable. If the researcher used this question as part of a questionnaire, would this question yield qualitative data or quantitative data? Provide support for the choice made. Identify the PICO components.
Then, create two new EBP questions. (Unrelated to above.) State the two questions in PICO format and identify all the components (the P= 1=C=0=).
Explain this question, “Do RN’s who practice a Christian faith demonstrate more empathy towards patients with chronic diseases than RN’s who state they do not practice the Christian faith?”
