Introduction to Evidence Practice Problem Paper Introduction to Evidence Practice Problem Paper The topic I have chosen to do present for a research development proposal are strokes. Although new i... mprovements in emergency healthcare have cut deaths from stroke, stroke remains the leading cause of death and impairment. It is estimated that approximately one million people worldwide are affected by stroke each year. Each year, almost 900,000 Americans have one attack, and more than 140,000 die from it. Strokes are the 5th leading cause of death in the USA and one of the main reasons of severe impairment among Americans (Sifferlin, A., Sep. 2017). It is very important for medical professionals to do a better job of educating the community about stroke risk factors and how they can prevent them. This can be clearly seen as more young adults are suffering from strokes which requires a more immediate an action of change (Aigner, et al., 2017). There are many factors that affect stroke risk, but the most common are age, lifestyle, and gender. People who are more educated regarding risk factors they are more likely to present a problem to a medical professional, which will then lead the staff to monitor for the risk of a stroke. When done thoughtfully and using research, Notification of risk factors may be an important strategy for medical testing ( Wald, N J et al., 1999). PICOT Question These problems that have come up while researching strokes letting me to create a research problem question that will direct how research is conducted and how a study is organized. Using the PICO format, the question that I plan to How does the general population with no knowledge of stokes perceive a stroke or it’s risk factors after they are educated about the topic? The P: patient, problem, or population, is the general public. The I: intervention is represented by the is the fact that the population has no knowledge of strokes. With the C: comparison, there is no comparison because this is a meaning form of question which means it is This study source was downloaded by 100000822447745 from CourseHero.com on 07-17-2022 16:12:08 GMT -05:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/64790481/Introduction-to-Evidence-Practice-Problem-Paperdocx/INTRODUCATION TO TOPIC 3 describing the way a population or group perceives a phenomenon. Using the O: outcome it relates to the perception of a stroke or it’s risk factors. And in some cases, a T is used to describe time in which my question addresses the time after the population received education about the topic (Gray, Grove, & Sutherland, 2017, p. 459). Articles The three articles that I have found so far in my research regarding strokes are all relevant to my research topic. I have found these articles using medical data bases that were provided by my school. I have weeded out using a search engine, which yielded none scholarly sources. The first source that I included in my introduction to my topic providing information is the scholarly journal entry titled “Contribution of Established Stroke Risk Factors to the Burden of Stroke in Young Adults” (Aigner, et al., 2017). I used the ProQuest database that was provided by my library from my school to search this topic. Are use keywords such as stroke and risk factors. I then we find my search to include a range of yours that was no older than five years old. Another similar search also came up with the article “Stroke Deaths Are Rising In Some Parts of America” (Sifferlin, A., Sep. 2017). Even though this article is not a scholarly journal entry the source seems to be credible as the site provides all the information to check the validity of the source. Both of these articles Will have more accurate information regarding current statistics is they are both within the past five years. Although the next article is a little older, I still receive the information to be valuable. When removing the range of years from my search this article came up and had valid arguments as to why identifying risk factors are helpful to be used as a screening tool as well. I will try to find a more current article relevant to the same idea as my research continues. This article is titled "When can a risk factor be used as a worthwhile screening test?" ( Wald, N J et al., 1999). [Show More]
