Homework: Essentials of Evidence-Based Practice
o Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.
o Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest you identified in Module 2 for the Homework. This PICOT question will remain the same for the entire course.
o Use the key words from the PICO(T) question you developed and search at least four different databases in the Walden Library. Identify at least four relevant systematic reviews or other filtered high-level evidence, which includes meta-analyses, critically-appraised topics (evidence syntheses), critically-appraised individual articles (article synopses). The evidence will not necessarily address all the elements of your PICO(T) question, so select the most important concepts to search and find the best evidence available.
o Reflect on the process of creating a PICO(T) question and searching for peer-reviewed research.
Task
Part 2: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews
Create a 6- to 7-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:
o Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest.
o Describe how you developed a PICO(T) question focused on your chosen clinical issue of interest.
o Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected.
o Provide APA citations of the four relevant peer-reviewed articles at the systematic-reviews level related to your research question. If there are no systematic review level articles or meta-analysis on your topic, then use the highest level of evidence peer reviewed article.
o Describe the levels of evidence in each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, including an explanation of the strengths of using systematic reviews for clinical research. Be specific and provide examples.
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
o The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
o The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
o Also include a reference page. The Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
