Applying the steps of the Process for Evidence based Practice

Description

Using the PICOT question” In young adults with newly diagnosed hypertension, how does the addition of a walking program compared with pharmacologial interventions alone affect blood pressure within 6 months?” apply steps 1–3 of the EBP as described by Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt in Chapter 1.

Step 1: Formulate the Burning Clinical PICOT Question

Step 2: Search for the Best Evidence
Use each of the keywords from the PICOT question to perform a systematic search Discuss how you performed your search, including search terms and process.
Step 3: Critical Appraisal of Evidence (Initial Thoughts)
Create an annotated bibliography on a minimum of five empirical research studies that resulted from this search. Include the following for each article:
Reference for each study using APA 7th edition format and style
Purpose of the study
Research question(s)/hypotheses
Research design/evidence rating
Summary of how findings contribute to the PICOT questions

Additionally complete a literature search on the PICOT question
