This introduction to the literature review chapter describes what a PICOt question is,
what the elements mean (i.e., P = population, I = intervention, etc.) and how it informed
the key words that guided the literature search for a solution to the identified problem.
The first paragraph should conclude with the actual PICOt question that guided the
literature review.
The next paragraph should describe the data bases used (i.e., PubMed, CINAHL,
Cochrane Library, etc.) and what was found using the keywords identified from the
PICOt question. Include the number of articles found and the specific themes. Next, talk
about how they keywords may have been refined to identify and locate research
specifically relevant to the proposed solution to the problem. Finally, discuss the number
of articles chosen that support the argument for change.
