  • Health data base assessment

    Students will select and evaluate a clinical health care database. They will demonstrate how it can be used to assist with patient care by creating a patient case study based on their own experience and/or imagination, and by using the database to help resolve the case. The selected app should be targeted primarily for use by providers rather than by patients.

    In nursing practice, the questions we ask often reflect the real gaps we see at bedside. My PICOT question focuses on improving outcomes for adult patients with uncontrolled hypertension discharged from the emergency department, specifically examining whether a nurse-led discharge education program with follow-up phone calls can improve blood pressure control and reduce 30-day return visits.

    PICOT: In adult patients with uncontrolled hypertension treated in the emergency department (P), how does implementation of a nurse-led discharge education program with scheduled follow-up phone calls (I) compared with standard discharge instructions (C) affect blood pressure control and 30-day return ED visits (O) over three months (T)?

    This question really shows why we cant rely on just one type of research to solve a clinical problem. In real life, especially in the ED, patient care is rarely simple. Evidence-based practice isnt built on one study or one method, its built on layers of evidence that look at whether something works, how patients experience it, whether its realistic to implement, and if it can actually last over time.

    If I were evaluating my nurse-led discharge education intervention, quantitative research would be critical. Studies like randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-experimental designs would allow us to directly compare patients who receive structured education and follow-up calls with those who receive standard discharge instructions. We could measure concrete outcomes like systolic and diastolic blood pressure changes and 30-day ED revisit rates. Since blood pressure is objective and measurable, numbers matter here. Quantitative research gives us statistical clarity, it tells us if the intervention truly makes a measurable difference. I selected quantitative designs because my primary outcomes are measurable clinical indicators, while qualitative approaches are necessary to understand behavioral and contextual barriers that influence those outcomes.

    Stronger evidence, such as systematic reviews and meta-analyses adds even more confidence. When multiple studies show similar results, we can feel more secure that nurse-led interventions improve blood pressure control across different settings, not just in one hospital or one population (Ito & Tajika, 2024).

    At the same time, numbers dont tell the whole story. Many of the patients I care for struggle with barriers that statistics alone cant capture, low health literacy, medication costs, transportation issues, demanding work schedules, or simply not understanding how serious asymptomatic hypertension really is. Thats where qualitative research becomes so valuable. Through interviews or follow-up conversations, patients can share what actually makes it hard to manage their blood pressure. Using frameworks like the Health Belief Model helps us understand how beliefs about risk, severity, benefits, and barriers shape behavior, it reinforces how powerful those perceptions are in influencing health decisions (Glick & Winham, 2024).

    Having multiple types of research strengthens evidence-based practice because it blends scientific rigor with real human experience. Quantitative research answers, Does this intervention lower blood pressure? Qualitative research asks, Why are patients struggling or succeeding? Mixed-methods research ties both together. Using a variety of research designs allows nurses to implement interventions that are not just statistically effective, but truly patient-centered. For uncontrolled hypertension, a condition that is often silent but dangerous, combining outcome data with patient insight ensures that discharge education and follow-up programs are practical, meaningful, and capable of reducing preventable return visits.

    • In all research, various types yield the best results, for not every question can be answered with the same version of research. For example, quantitative research answers phenomena regarding measurable outcomes and goals whereas qualitative research is based on experiences and is exploratory. In research for evidence-based practice, mixed-methods of research require the researcher to be able to integrate both qualitative and quantitative data and apply it to practice (Epidemiol, 2022). When using qualitative and quantitative research together, this can be referred to mixed-method research. Mixed-method research attempts to provide deeper understandings of certain phenomena and aims to yield best practice results. While each type of research is different, both are essential in developing the full picture.PICOT: In adult congestive heart failure patients hospitalized on a telemetry unit at Thompson Peak Medical Center (P), how does a heart failure education bundle program (I) compared to standard heart failure discharge education (C) affect 30-day readmission rates (O) after discharge (T)?In my PICOT question, the use of mixed-method research is essential. One example of quantitative research is the measurable outcome of readmission rates within 30 days after discharge. Data collected on these readmissions such as BNP, weight gained since discharge, and other lab values will also be included in a quantitative data set. When interviewing the patient regarding medication and treatment adherence, this information would be classified as qualitative data. Qualitative data would help us understand how the patients feel about their disease and treatment plan and can hopefully help us develop a better plan for their current care goals. By including mixed-method research, we can view the patient as a whole and not simply a disease to treat. We can better understand cultural differences, variances in education and socioeconomic status, and treat the patient as an individual based on their care goals.In addition to mixed-method research, I would also use randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to conduct my research. RCTs provide some of the highest levels of research in evidence based practice (Sargeant et al., 2022). RCTs based on my PICOT questions would aim to develop a relationship between heart failure readmission rates within 30-days after discharge and standard heart failure education versus discharge with a heart failure education bundle. The target of this study would be to decide if using the heart failure education bundle would decrease readmission rates within 30 days after discharge for patients with heart failure in comparison to standard heart failure education. The hope of this study would be to determine that patients who received the heart failure bundle would have decreased readmission rates to therefore create a new standard of heart failure discharge education.I chose to use RCTs as they help establish a cause-and-effect relationship. By using randomized selection, researchers would avoid bias regarding which patients were selected to receive the heart failure bundle versus discharge standard education. There would also be clear outcomes by measuring readmission rates within 30 days of discharge. Along with the use of quantitative and qualitative research, researchers could develop an extraordinary study about heart failure and preventative ways to prevent exacerbations and readmissions.ReferencesEpidemiol, N.

    After posting a short narrative introduction to your proposed quality improvement idea, you will list an initial draft of each of your five PICOT elements:

    • P: Identify/define the population
    • This can be the population (learners) that is being asked to change a practice.
    • This may be a population (learners) that is the focus of the change.
    • Do not use this element to state the problem.
    • I: Intervention This is the innovative educational intervention/teaching strategy you propose to address the problem and is intended to produce an improved outcome.
    • C: Comparison What is the current practice that is not producing the desired outcome? This could be … compared to no intervention…
    • O: Outcome This is an objective measure that will be used to evaluate the effect of your intervention. There must be objective and measurable metrics as part of this statement.
    • T: Time How long will it take to have enough time and enough data to determine if your intervention produced the desired results? You should not exceed 8 weeks, as you will be implementing this quality improvement project in either NR621 or NR622.

    For example, let say that you are in a pharmacology didactic course for your practicum site and your mentor states that students are exhibiting low test scores. The class is currently being taught primarily by lecture. You and your mentor decide to implement a flipped classroom to see if the students understand the concepts better. Your PICOT question could look like this:

    In first year nursing students enrolled in a pharmacology course (P), will a flipped classroom (I) as compared to no intervention (C) improve students knowledge related to the identified concepts (O) in eight (8) weeks (T)?
