Introduction to Evidence Practice Problem Paper The topic I have chosen to do present for a research development proposal are strokes. Although new improvements in emergency healthcare have cut deat... hs 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 ntroduction-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) [Show More]
