Nursing Inquiry
Deciding which road to take
Objectives
• Identify the differences between research, QI, and EBP.
• Describe the process for defining a problem.
• Understand how to develop a question using the PICO format.

Nursing Inquiry:
• How do we know that we are achieving the best patient outcomes from our nursing interventions?
• How do we incorporate best
practices into our nursing
protocols?

Which way should we go?

Research
• Generates new knowledge for broad application
• Uses scientific methods
Quality Improvement
• Improves systems or processes within a unit or organization
• Uses PDSA method
EBP
• Synthesizes “best” evidence
• Uses PET process
Three Forms of Inquiry
Problem
• Ventilator acquired pneumonia (VAP) in ICU causes increased morbidity and mortality in patients and may be preventable.

Research
• Generates new knowledge for broad application (produces evidence)
June 1, 2016 7
Research• Goal is to generate new knowledge or to test an intervention
• Systematic inquiry that uses scientific methods– Research hypothesis
– Research design
– Data Collection
– Analysis
– Conclusion
Research
• Conduct a study to determine:
–Is there a link between VAP and oral care frequency?
–Is there a link between VAP and suctioning?

Quality Improvement
• Improves systems/processes within specific unit or organization (produces evidence)
June 1, 2016 10
Quality Improvement
• Key feature is that it is a cyclic process designed to evaluate/measure work flow and work processes
• Plan – Do – Study ‐ Act
Quality Improvement
• Collect data on VAP rates in the ICU?– Do they show that VAP rates have increased in the
past few months?
– If so, what strategies can be implemented to further decrease VAP rates?
– Implement the strategies.
– Continue to monitor trends in VAP rates.

Evidence‐based Practice
Decision Making
EBP
• Background/PICO question to gather evidence: – What are the best practices to prevent VAP in ICU
patients?
• Formulate the foreground question after initial literature search-– Will daily suctioning or routine oral care have a better
impact on rates of VAP?

Research, QI, or EBP?
• The labor and delivery unit at a community hospital wants to improve the discharge time of patients.
June 1, 2016 16
Research, QI, or EBP?
• An interdisciplinary team in the OR wants to know how best to position patients prevent pressure ulcers
June 1, 2016 17
Research, QI, or EBP?
• A team interested in cancer outcomes wants to know the quality of life outcomes in mastectomy patients from pre-surgery to one year post-surgery

Research, QI, or EBP?
• PACU nurses want to reduce practice variation and would like to find the best practices for screening for obstructive sleep apnea

Defining the Problem
June 1, 2016 22
MANAGERIAL CLINICAL EducationalWhy do I have to change my IV bags every
24 hours?
Is it safe for nurses to work 12 hour shifts?
When is the best time to
start discharge
teaching for patients?
– Safety and/or risk
– Unsatisfactory patient outcomes
– Wide variations in practice
– Different from community
standard
– Significant financial concerns
Examples of Practice Issues
23
Problem Statement
Phrase the problem statement in terms of the knowledge gap not the solution.
We need a new way to create a nurse staffing
schedule.
We need to understand how to best ensure
appropriate coverage for patient care.

Problem Statement
State the problem rather than symptoms of the problem
Gap between current state and what isdesired
• Outward sign of problem• Variance from the norm• Evidence that problem exists
• Outward sign of problem• Variance from the norm• Evidence that problem exists
Symptom
Problem
25
Describe in precise terms the possible GAP between the world as you see it and how you would like it to be.
Problem Statement
Broken: needs to be
fixed?
Risk: needs to be prevented?
New Evidence: needs to be accepted?
Missing:needs to be provided?
26
Examine the problem definition critically.

Listen Visualize Probe

Not enough nurses Add nurses!
Variable patient acuity
Revise scheduling practices
Best practices to manage
staffing
Make sure that your problem statement defines the real problem
Problem Statement
28
Ask clarifying questions to further refine your problem statement
We need a better way to do CL dressing changes.
We need to use best
practice.
We need to reduce CL-BSI.

Do not blame the problem on an external force or focus attention on the wrong aspect of the problem
Problem Statement
34
State the problem in a different way.
We need to increase
productivity.
We need to work smarter.
We need to make our job
easier.
Problem Statement
35
Challenge your assumptions.Think outside the box, avoid conjecture
Question everyday things you take for granted
This problem is caused by our
electronic system. It can’t be fixed.
We’ve always done it this way, but let’s do an
EBP project to see if there’s evidence
supporting a better way.
Problem Statement

Expand and contract the problem.
Problem Statement
37
Think about the scope of the problem– Who is affected?
– Where is the problem experienced?
– When does the problem surface?
– What new information is needed?
Problem Statement
38
• Assume multiple solutions
– We need to understand the best way to…?
– We need to understand the best ways to…
• Word the problem in a positive manner
– We need to understand how to prevent smoking
– We need to understand how to increase positive smoking cessation behaviors

Case Scenario
Fall Prevention Advisory Committee members notice an increase in fall-related injury over the past few quarters.
40
1. The current fall risk assessment tool does not prevent falls.
2. There has been an increase in fall-related injury.
3. We need to know how to prevent fall-related injury.
4. We need to know how to identify patients at risk for fall-related injury.
Problem Statement
41
1. The current fall risk assessment tool does not prevent falls. This problem statement does not directly relate to the issue presented in the scenario.
2. There has been an increase in fall-related injury.This problem statement relates to the issue of concern, but is too broad and does not help to inform an EBP question.
3. We need to know how to prevent fall-related injury.
This problem statement identifies a knowledge deficit, but does not relate to the specific issue under discussion
4. We need to know how to identify patients at risk for fall-related injury.
The statement identifies a knowledge deficit that relates to the issue and can be addressed through the EBP process.

Background vs. Foreground PICO
Background
• Answer: who, what, why, when, where, for whom, how well
• Produce a wide range of evidence
• No comparisons to other interventions
• Provide a starting point
Foreground
• Include specific comparisons between 2 or more methods
• Produce a limited body of evidence
• Build on background knowledge
• Help refine the search
Slide 46
Examples of Background and Foreground Questions
47
BACKGROUND QUESTION:
• What are best practices to decrease the number of monitor alarms?
FOREGROUND QUESTION:
• Does changing the electrodes daily as compared to current practice have an effect on the quantity of monitor alarms from cardiac monitors?
Slide 48
Examples

BACKGROUND QUESTION:
• What is the best method of administering SC heparin to adult patients that would decrease ecchymosis and pain at the injection site?
FOREGROUND QUESTION:
• Will a 30 second duration of heparin injection result in less bruising and site pain as compared to a 10 second injection?

Summary
• Always start with the evidence. • Research- large scale, generalizable
new knowledge• QI- smaller scale, localized, • EBP- synthesis of best evidence • Spend time defining your problem• Use PICO to generate your question
