Clinical Question and Theoretical Framework
Purpose Asking the right question is a difficult skill to learn, yet it is fundamental to the evidence-based decision-making process. This process begins with a patient question or problem. The PICO question that you previously wrote guides the search process.A theoretical framework provides a basis for understanding the phenomenon of interest (the underlying issue or problem) and connects pieces of evidence into a more cohesive whole.Directions
1. Restate your PICO question. 2.
2. Present the following information about the issue:
- Your own observations (personal perspective, what you have seen or heard about this issue)
- Suggestions from experts (e.g., CNS, Infection Disease Practitioner)
- A preliminary review of the literature
- Current practice guidelines (e.g. institutional protocols where you work or that you found in your literature review)
- Professional organization that relates to the situation or problem (example: National Gerontological Nursing Association on a PICO question related to elderly patients falls)
3. Identify databases used to search literature related to PICO question
- Identify search terms used
- Identify years of publication used in limits of the search (It is best last 5 years)
4. Find at least two nursing articles that are relevant to the PICO question
- Articles must be a report of a primary research study, meta-analysis, or systematic review
- Describe the study and identify the article by APA reference format
5. Theoretical framework of the articles – Review your selected articles for an identified theoretical framework. If they do not identify one, you will need to find a relevant theory that can help to understand your clinical question from another source.
This the Pico Question
PICO Worksheet and search strategy
Define your question using PICO: Population (or patient condition of interest), Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes and Time
P – patient, problem, or population (e.g., age, ethnicity, or gender, type of clinical problem):
Among young women ages 25-40 taking oral contraceptive
I – intervention (the types of clinical intervention):
Minimized the risk for Developing blood clots and Cardiovascular disease in their life
C – comparison (a comparison of interventions) (if applicable):
Compare with young women 25-40 years of age
O – Outcome (the type of patient care outcome):
Who use IUD for contraceptive

Five years’ Time frame
