PICO (T) (graded)
The PICO (T) format is a way to develop a clinical question that lends itself to searching for evidence. Select a common nursing practice (e.g., wound care management) in your clinical setting and formulate a PICO question. Once you have formulated your question, conduct a library search and locate one scholarly article that addresses the topic you have selected. Post your clinical question in the TD, explain the PICO (T) elements, and provide a full reference of the article you selected.

This is insightful Kelly, the article selected, “Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Students’
Perceptions of a Debriefing Experience after a Cardiac Emergency High-Fidelity Simulation: A
Qualitative Study” (2021), is relevant to the topic or area of study. Specialized training is
necessary for the nurses who want to advance their roles in acute care (Ali et al., 2021). The
article contains essential information required in the course or the area of study. From the article,
the abstract only contain basic information about the topic under the study. However, the article
can be accessed from the link provided (White et al., 2017). The full article contain advanced
information and data required for the entire study. The full document also contain comprehensive
information about the topic under the study. Walden University database contain numerous
articles that can be applied to research about the same topic (Bramer et al., 2018). To determine
the exact article required in the research processes, the application of keywords or phrases is
essential. These keywords provided direct link to the document required.

RE: Discussion – Week 4
Collapse
Peer-Reviewed Article on COVID-19 and Mental Health in the United States
The significant impact of the pandemic on the population’s mental health has been one of the
main reasons I pursued my MSN in Psychiatric-Mental Health degree. Its effects on individuals
from all walks of life, regardless of race and gender, have been hard to ignore. For this
discussion, the article I chose is titled COVID-19 and mental health equity in the United States
by Purtle (2020). In this journal, the author discussed that socially disadvantaged groups like
those in the low-income brackets and those belonging to racial/ethnic minorities experienced
more pandemic-related psychiatric illnesses (Purtle, 2020). Using the database APA PsycInfo, I
keyed the words “COVID-19” and “mental health” on the first search field and “United States”
on the second field. To expand my search, I included the Boolean “AND.” The search resulted in
470 articles. One setback I encountered was the vast number of articles I generated from my
initial inquiry and narrowed my search. To focus my search, I used the “TI” Titles from the
optional field, chose FullText, and publication years 2019 to 2021 as my limiters, resulting in 17
articles (Walden University Library, n.d.).
There are many valuable databases available for research and scientific studies. APA
PsycInfo is one of them. Like many databases, it contains trusted and credible peer-reviewed
articles. However, APA PsycInfo would be more beneficial for those pursuing studies on
behavioral and social sciences as it has more choices of psychiatric journals than the MEDLINE
database (Eady, Wilczynski, & Haynes, 2008). APA PsycInfo contains one of the most extensive
selections, more than 5million scientific papers, focusing on this field (American Psychological
Association, n.d.). Therefore, it would be a useful resource for anyone interested in this field of
study. I would highly recommend this to my colleagues also pursuing MSN in Psychiatry-Mental
Health.
