What is the effectiveness of the Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) and intermittent nurse administered injections

Here are some tips for the assignment for this week: The purpose of this Assignment is to enable you to present the information that you gather from conducting your own systematic review on your PICOT topic. This activity will give you the experience to present your research findings to others. Examples of the evidence table (matrix) and a power point presentation are attached below. Use them as a reference only.
1. You may use the same PICOT from Unit 1 or start a new one – it is your choice. Clearly state the PICOT question.2. Continue to Search the databases (your choice) using your key words until you locate level 1 & 2 evidence. Briefly describe your search process and overall results, include key words used.
For example, the TRIP database was searched using the keywords pediatrics, pain, and alternative medicine. A total of 24 studies were initially identified. Of these, two were level 1, three were level 2 and the rest were level 3 and above or did not answer the PICOT question. Only the 5 level 1 & 2 studies are included in the following presentation. I decided to use the following studies based upon ……state your rationale for inclusion/exclusion.

3. Use the Rapid critical appraisal tools in Appendix B of your textbook to quickly analyze the studies you are considering. Be sure to use the tool that matches the study type. This will also help with the statistical error analysis section. This does not need to be on the slide but will help you with selecting the best studies.
4. Create an evaluation table/matrix (Appendix C) of only the studies you are using that answer your question after the rapid critical appraisal. There are instructions for using the table in your book.
In the example above I would place the 5 studies on the table and none of the others.

5. Present the chosen (level 1 & 2) studies along with a statistical analysis – IN YOUR OWN WORDS!! – is the study reliable and valid and how did you decide this; are there any study limitations; what are the reported p values of the study or levels of significance. (use Appendix B)

6. Create a power point presentation of your findings in any manner you choose. Must be 12-15 slides. Use the evaluation table here if you like then expand upon it for the stats part.

7. Citations: you can either cite each study in small font on the slide where you present it or you can make references slides at the end – it is your choice just be sure they are in APA format.
