Solution

PICOT QUESTION:

In patients aged 55 or older with CHF, what is the effectiveness of a comprehensive educational approach used by nurse practitioners when giving discharge instructions compared to current discharge practices to reduce 45-day hospital readmissions over eight months?

  • P – Patients admitted for CHF who are 55 or older
  • I – When discharging patients, nurse practitioners provide a comprehensive education.
  • C – Discharge procedures are ongoing.
  • – A decrease in readmission rates within 45 days
  • T – 8 months

 

QUANTITATIVE STUDIES:

Author/Title/Year (APA format): Sepulveda-Pacsi, A. L. (2019). Emergency nurses’ perceived confidence in participating in the discharge process of congestive heart failure patients from the emergency department: A quantitative study. Hispanic Health Care International, 17(1), 30-35. https://doi.org/10.1177/1540415318818983

Problem related to PICOT: There are several ways in which my PICOT question is pertinent to the results of this research. The paper investigates the reasons why patients with CHF are more likely to be readmitted within 45 days, with a particular focus on the involvement of RNs in the ED.

Purpose: Researchers wanted to know whether nurses’ confidence influenced the quality of care they gave their Hispanic heart failure patients, who have a higher readmission rate than white patients.

Sample/Population: The research population consisted of twenty-two emergency room registered nurses working in a mostly Hispanic district of New York City.

Data Collection Method: Questionnaire-based research

Major Findings/Conclusions: The most significant finding from this research was that only certain RNs had complete faith in their ability to do all essential actions prior to releasing HF patients. Sixty-seven percent of the nurses surveyed thought that discharging…………………$10
