Answer the following question: Consider your PICOT question and imagine you are working on a practice-change project based on your topic. Refer to assigned chapter 18 in Evidence-Based Practice For Nurses: Appraisal and Application of Research, 5th edition by Nola A. Schmidt and Janet M. Brown. Write 2 specific, realistic, and measurable outcomes for determining if the recommended change in nursing practice related to your PICOT question was achieved. State the type of outcome (care-related, patient-related, or performance-related) for each one. Note: These should be outcomes that you, the nurse/change agent, could measure—avoid generalizations or theoretical outcomes. How would you collect data to measure each of these 2 outcomes? Why is outcome evaluation critical to EBP?
The PICOT question is How do adults 18 and over (P) with a diagnosis of depression or anxiety (I) perceive the cause of their diagnosis (O) during their lifetime (T)?
