This concurrent session outlines the steps to translate clinical knowledge into a research study. Discussion includes how nurses’ observations and expertise can be used to formulate research questions. We explain the use of the PICOT (population, intervention, comparison, outcome, time) format to formulate research questions. The results of these studies are more likely to reach or impact more patients and healthcare systems than is feasible for an individual nurse.
