Assignment: Evidence-Based Project, Part 3: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews

Your quest to purchase a new car begins with an identification of the factors important to you. As you conduct a search of cars that rate high on those factors, you collect evidence and try to understand the extent of that evidence. A report that suggests a certain make and model of automobile has high mileage is encouraging. But who produced that report? How valid is it? How was the data collected, and what was the sample size?

In this Assignment, you will delve deeper into clinical inquiry by closely examining your PICO(T) question. You also begin to analyze the evidence you have collected.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.
  • Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest you identified in Module 2 for the Assignment. This PICOT question will remain the same for the entire course.
  • 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.
  • Reflect on the process of creating a PICO(T) question and searching for peer-reviewed research.

The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 3: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews

Create a 6- to 7-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

  • Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest.
  • Describe how you developed a PICO(T) question focused on your chosen clinical issue of interest.
  • Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected.
  • 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.
  • 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.

THIS IS THE MODULE 2 TO COMPLETE THIS ASSIGNMENT

  

The PICOT format is used to formulate questions in evidence-based practice. It is a beneficial method as it enables a researcher to identify the most effective and useful resources used in evidence-based practice and healthcare research. P stands for the population or the patient’s problem. In this threshold, one explains who is the patient, their health status, and demographic data. I stand for the interventions that should be performed on the patient. For instance, they may be tests, therapies, or medications. C stands for Comparison. It indicates other alternative plans that the healthcare practitioner may conduct on the patient. O stands for the outcomes that the health practitioner seeks. T stands for the time frame that should be used (Lira & Rocha, 2019). 

One of the clinical issues that are faced in the US is an opioid overdose. The problem has increased with more reported cases of people dying from opioid overdose daily. It is estimated that more than 130 people die daily from opioid misuse. Therefore, the opioid crisis can be used to formulate a good PICOT question. Over time, self-administered drugs such as naloxone, also known as Narcan, have been developed to curb opioid misuse (Narcan, n.d). 

In this case, the PICOT question that will be suitable and effective is “Can opioid users who have access to naloxone be compared to those without access to naloxone at the risk of having a fatal opioid overdose?”

In searching for peer-reviewed articles and research papers about the topic, some keywords should be used to ease the search. Some of the keywords used in this search include opioid overdose, the use of naloxone to curb opioid effects, the risk of overdosing among opioid users, overdose, emergency department, prevention, and death and opioid misuse. The databases that is used in this search include Ebsco, PubMed, and ProQuest. 

When I searched how opioid users with access to naloxone and those without access to naloxone compared to the risk of suffering from an opioid overdose, there were 504 results. I narrowed down the research by limiting it only to academic journals, and the results were reduced to 120. I narrowed the research further by only limiting it to the peer-reviewed articles written within the last five years, and the results were reduced to 85. 

When I searched how naloxone prevents opioid misuse, there were ten results. When the search was narrowed down to only peer-reviewed articles written in the last five years, the results were reduced to 2. When I replaced the word naloxone with Narcan, the results increased to 161, which included peer-reviewed articles written in the last five years. When I searched the term opioid overdose, the results increased further to 8432. However, when I searched for opioid overdose prevention, the search results decreased to 4483.

There are some strategies that can be used to increase the rigor and the effectiveness of the database search. According to Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt (2018), one of the factors that contribute to effectiveness in a database search is using the right databases. Some databases have been equipped with peer-reviewed articles in one field. Therefore, it is wise to search in the relevant database. For instance, when searching about healthcare issues, one should search in healthcare databases for better results.

Additionally, to come up with effective and rigorous searches, one should search in numerous databases. That gives access to the most relevant searches as different databases may contain different articles. Also, one should use the appropriate vocabulary. That will ensure that the search results are relevant to the topic of interest. Finally, one should combine terms and concepts suing the Boolean operators to ensure that the search results are effective and relevant to the topic of interest.

Instructions

This week you will use the Bureau of Labor Statistics website to search for income data on the occupation you are seeking.  Visit the following website:  https://www.bls.gov/bls/blswage.htm (Links to an external site.) 

The BLS has wage information for hundreds of jobs, and data can also be found by state. There is much information here, so take some time to browse around. 

Once you arrive at the site, complete the following steps to gather the data, you need to answer the discussion questions.

Part 1

  • Search for information on your occupation by clicking on national wage data 800 occupations. This will take you to the Occupational Employment Statistics page.
  • Scroll to the bottom of that page for a table listing the major and sub-job categories. Note in the first column; there is an occupation code. For example, accountants and auditors have the code 13-2011 and are listed under banking and financial operations.
  • Click on the job title to find earnings information. There you will find mean wages as well as percentiles and the 5-number summary.
  • Compare the mean and median pays. For example, the mean pay for accountants was $78,800, and the median was $70,500.
  • Record the information on percentiles, the 5-number summary, the mean, and the median.

Part 2

  • Above the data on the occupation page, you will find the following links:
    • National estimates for this occupation
    • Industry profile for this occupation
    • Geographic profile for this occupation.
  • Select the geographic profile to view maps of the states.
  • Scroll down to the map that presents mean wages by state using the color code.
  • Compare the ranges of wages of the states based on the ranges presented. 
  • Identify the highest paying and lowest paying states.

Discussion 3.jpg

Step 3

Include the following in your discussion post:

  • Share the information you found in steps 1 and 2.
  • Discuss your interpretation of the statistics you recorded in Part 1.
    • Percentiles
    • Mean
    • Median
  • How different are the salaries shown in the map of states?
    • What is the range for your state?
    • Would you move to another state based on this data?
    • What other statistics would you want to know before making that decision?
  • What effect do the lowest paid and highest paid states have on calculating the mean and median for the United States?
  • Suppose you were asked by a potential employer to request a salary. Which is the best measure to use to find “average” earnings for your occupation? Explain your answer.

Please review the post and response expectations. Please review the rubric to ensure that your response meets the criteria.
