Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal: PICOT
Assessment Description
PICOT (Population/Problem, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Time to achieve the outcome) is a method that helps clarify the qualities needed to create a good question out of a practice issue or problem affecting a population of focus.
The purpose of this assignment is to complete your PICOT for your selected nursing practice problem. Refer to your “Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal: Identification of Nursing Practice Problem” assignment from Topic 1 to complete this assignment. If your nursing practice problem or PICOT required revision, include those revisions in this assignment. The final PICOT you develop in this assignment will provide the framework for developing your evidence-based practice project proposal. Use the “PICOT-Final” template to complete this assignment.
Refer to the “Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal – Assignment Overview” document for an overview of the evidence-based practice project proposal assignments.
You are required to cite at least four peer-reviewed sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
You are not required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.

PICOT
In adult patients with hypertension, for whom Spanish is their primary language (P), does providing written education in Spanish (I) when compared to using an interpreter (C) lead to improved blood pressure control (O) over the course of 6 months (T)?
Problem Statement
The problem statement is a scholarly statement that justifies or rationalizes that this is problem. A problem statement must include literature for support and justification.
Hispanics are more likely to have uncontrolled, untreated, or even undiagnosed hypertension when compared to other ethnic groups (Rodriguez et.al., 2015). Incidences of misinformation can occur when patients and providers do not share a common language. There is a lack of understanding or the inability to ask questions on the patient’s part. In addition, many Spanish-speaking patients find that the translation services, when available, are not adequate. These patients often do not trust the information received from providers, which can lead to unintentional noncompliance (Rodriguez et.al., 2015).
