PICOT:Comparing water-based handwashing compared to alcohol-based disinfect

A minimum of 5 articles obtained from peer-reviewed nursing journals are identified and include an annotated bibliography formatted according to our reading and learning materials. The annotation is a minimum of 2 paragraphs and includes an explanation of how the article will support the EBP project.
Student followed the annotated bibliography examples with bolded reference, alphabetical order, and reference page at the end

Annotated bibliographies may summarize, assess or evaluate a published article. Keep this in mind as you develop your annotated bibliographies. Remember that the annotations you include in your bibliography should reflect your EBP project and/or the guidelines of your assignment.
Students will submit their Literature Search with Annotated Bibliography via the assignment link for grading.

Instructions: Complete each section of this form.

1. PICO question:

2. Write down 3-5 key terms you will use for searching:

3. Go to CINAHL, ProQuest, and EBSCOhost databases and conduct your search using the key terms you identified above. Google Scholar is also a great database. Locate 5 RESEARCH articles pertinent to your PICO question. Remember, look for studies by nurses.

4. Prepare an annotated bibliography. Remember this is a different format and there is an example to follow within this weeks module.

Depending on the PICO questions and purpose of the bibliography, some annotations may summarize, some may assess or evaluate a source, and some may reflect on the source’s possible uses for the project at hand. Some annotations may address all three of these steps. Consider the purpose of your annotated bibliography when deciding how much information to include in your annotations.

Annotated bibliography should contain between 2 & 3 succinct paragraphs (5-6 sentences each paragraph) for each of the five articles that you address. The bibliography should also be alphabetized.
