PICOT is a structured framework used to formulate clinical research questions, particularly in evidence-based practice and clinical trials. It stands for: P (Population/Patient): Who is the patient or population of interest? (e.g., age, disease, condition) I (Intervention): What is the treatment, exRead more
PICOT is a structured framework used to formulate clinical research questions, particularly in evidence-based practice and clinical trials. It stands for:
Example PICOT question:
“In elderly patients with hypertension (P), does a low-sodium diet (I) compared to standard diet (C) reduce blood pressure (O) over six months (T)?”
This framework helps ensure that research questions are specific, focused, and answerable using clinical studies.

See lessWhat is the difference between random sampling and purposive sampling?
Random sampling: Every individual in the population has an equal chance of being selected, ensuring representativeness. Purposive sampling: Selecting participants based on specific characteristics relevant to your research question.

This is one of the most important step in your research. Calculating the correct sample size is an ingredient for a good research and hence it must be done scientifically. You should use statistical methods to determine the necessary sample size to achieve statistically significant results, considering factors like power analysis and effect size. You can request R & D Cell to help you with. They will connect you with the KAHER faculty/experts.

See lessWhat statistical tests should I use to analyze my data?
We suggest you consult your faculty or a biostatistician from KAHER. R & D Cell can help you facilitate with this. You can choose appropriate statistical tests based on the type of data (e.g., t-test, ANOVA, chi-square) and research question. Remember choosing right statistical test is extremelyRead more
