Exploring the Evidence: Generating a Research Question: Using the PICOT Framework for Clinical Inquiry.
The PICOT (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Out - come, Timeframe) framework succinctly gives structure to developing and solving a research or clinical question. It acts as a framework to assist a researcher or clinician to drill down to the essence of their question. This guides the researcher or clinician to formulate exact questions, identify relevant research or evidence, and tailor interventions to address the problem or challenging situation they are looking to solve or resolve. This article describes the PICOT framework and utilizes a clinical case study to illustrate its applicability and implementation.

Burden and Quality of Life of Family Caregivers Caring for Patients on Hemodialysis.
The objective of this systematic review was the evaluation of the burden of family caregivers of patients on hemodialysis and its correlation with caregivers' quality of life. Articles from PubMed and Scopus published between 2012 to 2022 were retrieved from using the key words burden, family caregivers, quality of life, and hemodialysis patients. Articles reviewed included quantitative data indicating the family caregiver burden ranged from moderate to severe. The correlation between burden and quality of life was negative. Nephrology nurses in hemodialysis units should contribute to the design and implementation of educational programs and support strategies for family caregivers of patients on hemodialysis to support caregivers, reduce their burden, and improve their quality of life.

Social Determinants of Health Factors and Self-Management of Care in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study.
Managing post-transplant care poses challenges for kidney transplant recipients, often due to food affordability and the ability to participate in physical activity. This study explored recipients' self-management of care and the influence of social determinants of health on physical activity and diet. A single-center, cross-sectional study recruited 26 participants via My Chart (an Integrated Healthcare Information System patient portal) to complete an 86-question survey. Participants had a mean age of 61 years, and 85% held an associate degree or higher. Body mass index correlated negatively with avoiding high-calorie foods; age and education correlated positively with physical activity. Kidney transplant recipients exhibited limited exercise and frequent high-calorie food consumption. Targeted interventions, particularly promoting regular physical activity, are crucial for improving post-transplant care.

Utilizing a Data-Driven Approach to Address Social Vulnerability in Outpatient Dialysis: A Quality Improvement Project.
Through a quality improvement project, we developed an initiative that leveraged patient- and community-level data to address health disparities and social vulnerability among patients receiving outpatient dialysis, including both incenter and home modalities. Using the Area Deprivation Index, we identified patients living in areas with the highest levels of deprivation and developed targeted interventions to help address adverse social determinants of health to improve patient health outcomes. Our quality improvement project demonstrates the potential of data-driven ap - proaches to identify and address health disparities in outpatient dialysis, and highlights the importance of addressing social determinants of health in improving patient outcomes.

Standardizing Blood Pressure Measurement for Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease in the Outpatient Nephrology Office Setting: A Pilot Study.
Standardized blood pressure (BP) measurements for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are paramount in the management of hypertension. Evidence shows nursing staff adherence to best practice guidelines for BP measurement are suboptimal. A pre-/posttest pilot study implementing a six-week hybrid educational intervention for nursing staff was conducted in an outpatient nephrology office. The Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Beliefs Scale was administered to participants (n = 6) to assess individual beliefs about EBP and implementing EBP guidelines for BP measurement. One Likert-type question measured participant change in BP measurement. Improvement was noted in EBP beliefs and ability to implement EBP guidelines post-intervention. A favorable response was present for participant change in BP measurement per guidelines post-intervention. The intervention is a feasible method to improve staff adherence to EBP guidelines for BP measurement.
