DNP Research Project Ideas

[Tinybutmighty]

Hi everyone,

I need to create a PICOT question that may later on relate to my DNP project. It needs to have an emphasis on primary care practice guidelines. I had wanted to do obesity and primary care but I am having the hardest time finding enough information on practice guidelines. Do any one you have any suggestions or ideas on good topics to research for primary care?

Thank you all in advance!

@adammRN Thank you!

I think part of the idea of the DNP is for you to be translating the current research/evidence into practice guidelines not simply finding existing guidelines. In terms of a PICOT question, you probably want to just think through the letters with a eye on what you’re professional interests are and what the current literature is. Is there a population you want to focus on more so than obese people (e.g. - patients with obesity and a co-occurring condition such as diabetes or heart disease). Is there a type of intervention you’re interested in looking into such as lifestyle interventions, motivational interviewing, medications, etc...
