Video - PICO: Explanation and Example
The video in this link comes from the Institute of the MGH Institute of Health Professionals (MGIHP). It explains how to create a clinical or research question which can be answered using the PICO(T)-scheme. In order to do this, the video shows the parts of a question based on the PICO(T)-scheme and gives you an example of how to narrow down word choice in order to research relevant literature in databases (e. g. CINAHL).
For further information on how to use different databases (e. g. PubMed, Medline) or the difference between citation types (e. g. APA, Oxford), please click here.

Conclusion
Evidence-Based Health Care (EBHC) has become extremely important in terms of patient care. Each patient should be treated individually while using the best evidence and research information available. It is extremely important to know how to actively and efficiently search for articles that apply directly to your patient.
This chapter repeated basic research terminology commonly used in EBHC. You are now prepared for the following chapters that present you with different research and health topics.
