I have been trying to get help with this can someone give me or help me with a PICOT question for patient safety measures and tools maybe focusing on the relationship between patient nurse ratio

1. Please help write the PICOT question for the relationship between patient safety and nurse ratio or staffing

2, is this a qualitative or quantitive design?

3.What level of evidence such as descriptive, correlation, predictive, or experimental, predictive, quasi experimental? will give thumbs up for full answer of the question

will give thumbs up please help

Answer 1

A picot question is one which when arise guide the researcher to find the evidence.in the clinical study field,There should be no answer if there is no question.So to be precise here

1.The research question should be..like below......Is there any relationship between mortality or nosocomial infection rate in ICU of a busy hospital and sub-optimal patient nurse ratio ?

The title of the article should be like

....... The Mortality and Patient Nurse ratio ..................A gap to be filled by our health-care system

2....By Qualitative study one collect non- numerical data e.g suppose the doctor want to know in OCD (Obsessive compulsive disorder) in which if any particular social class is involved? is a qualitative research category. :The answer to how and why is usually involved in qualitative research particularly in sociology in political science in education area they are widely used. e.g A case Study is a good example of this type of study

Here ,the said study is a quantitative experiment which means systematic data collection and after that data is cleaned and mathematically deducted, statistical significance calculated (chi square or P value) sometimes with the help of software our correlations can be computed out. From this type of study design we can assess the strength of the study and hypothesis deduced from this type of study is either taken or rejected.

Quantitative research designs are either measured once (descriptive) or subjects measured before and after a procedure or treatment (experimental). A descriptive study establishes only associations between variables.,like the present study.Here we are to find associations between prevalence of patient mortality and lesser than required number of RN ...

The types of quantitative research designs are correlational, descriptive, quasi-experimental and experimental.
