HLSC122 Evidence For Practice
Question:
Discuss each of the PICO/PICo elements of your question and the choice of key words, search terms and alternative words that were used to complete the structured search.
Answer:
The given research question is a quantitative research question as it deals with the effectiveness of the interventions that are used in improving the probable outcomes in the patients who are suffering from some health condition (Del Fiol, Workman & Gorman, 2014).
This question is based on the PICO model as it is required to develop an evidence based intervention for a particular health condition, developing a clinical question is one the required skills (DiCenso, Guyatt & Ciliska, 2014). The PICO helps to frame the clinical question in an organized manner. According to the PICO model, the clinical question given here contains the following components: The intervention is identified as mobile phone applications, and the outcome is identified as support to mental health and well-being of the teenagers. However this question lacks a comparison as no alternative of the intervention is present in the clinical question.
