What is the condition or disease you are interested in?

Discussion Question
Formulating the Research Question, Problem Statement, Research Purpose
In the Week 1 discussion forum you had an opportunity to present a potential problem and an innovative solution specific to your role specialization. In addition, you have reviewed the literature to identify qualitative and quantitative research articles and submitted annotated bibliographies to provide evidence supporting the problem.
Considering the feedback provided to you by the faculty member it is now time to prepare your problem statement, research purpose, and research question.
First share your refined problem and proposed solution (given your review of literature this may have changed depending on the evidence you were able to provide). Next, follow the steps to help define your research question.
Craft the problem statement and research purpose.
Design your research question aimed at solving (a part of) the problem and include the following components which will focus the literature review.
PICOT Question:
Patient, Population or Problem
What are the characteristics of the patient or population?
What is the condition or disease you are interested in?
Intervention or exposure
What do you want to do with this patient (e.g. treat, diagnose, observe)?
Comparison
What is the alternative to the intervention (e.g. placebo, different drug, surgery)?
Outcome
What are the relevant outcomes (e.g. morbidity, death, complications)?
Ensure that the research question is answerable, feasible and clinically relevant
on the first week my problem was Gasp in primary care
feed back from the professor : Grethel,
Thank you. The scope of the project should not be nationwide. Consider a specific region instead. Also, one week in the course you need a specific evidence-based intervention. Would that be the implementation of care teams?
My topic: The problem I am interested in researching entails the primary care gap. This is a common problem in most health institutions, both public and private (Gooch, 2018). Consequently, the origin of the problem, particularly in the U.S., can be traced from events such as increasing clinical complexity in patient populations, new educational requirements for health care providers, and implementation of the Affordable Care Act. In turn, these outcomes have translated to increased roles and responsibilities for Nurse Practitioners and the subsequent rearrangement of the U.S. health care system (Gooch, 2018). Therefore, the primary care gap has resulted in the extreme burdening of NPs, an outcome that is detrimental to the provision of quality health care.
