Associate Degree of Nursing (AND) students are evaluated while utilizing two different reporting methods over an 8-week period to determine which reporting method is more effective at producing better critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and judgment capabilities.

Below is the PICOT QUESTION- having a hard time making this PICOT QUESTION CLEAR AND CONCISE. COULD YOU TAKE A LOOK AND EDIT.

22 Associate Degree of Nursing (AND) students are evaluated while utilizing two different reporting

methods over an 8-week period to determine which reporting method is more effective at producing

better critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and judgment capabilities. These capabilities are further

evaluated by using the Tanner Rubric. At the end of the 8-week period, which reporting method was

shown to be more effective at developing the above-mentioned capabilities so that I may instruct

students on the chosen method to better myself as an educator and to prepare students for their future

careers as nurses?

P (population): 22 students within the ADN program

I (Intervention): What is the effectiveness of developing capabilities via the utilization of nurse reporting

sheets at the beginning of the shift and handing off these sheets for bedside reporting (SBAR forms)?

C (Comparison): How do the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of nurse reporting sheets compare to the

effectiveness of concept care maps in the development of capabilities?

O (Outcome): The most effective method of reporting will be determined by measuring students’

capabilities to apply critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and judgment via the Tanner Rubric. Once this is

determined, the most effective method of reporting will be the standard for instruction to better my

ability to prepare students for their future careers as nurses and ensure that I am providing the most

effective instruction as an educator.

T (Time): 8-weeks. Students will utilize concept care maps for 2-weeks and reporting sheets for 6-weeks

for a total of an 8-week evaluation. At the end of the 8-week evaluation, using the Tanner Rubric, the

most effective reporting method will be chosen based off the students’ level of capabilities while using

each method.
