PICOT Question
Revise the PICOT question you wrote in the Week 1 assignment. If I said it was perfect, then no revision needed- but take a look at you...
The U.S. records the highest incarceration rates across the world. Out of every 1000
incarcerated criminals, two-thirds have substance use disorders, particularly alcohol and opioid
dependence. Most of the persons undergo therapy and counseling in correctional facilities, but
still, the riddle of multiple relapses remains. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using
methadone or buprenorphine is a conventional intervention for OD, with evidence showing a
reduction in relapse and criminal recidivism. But Kadam et al. (2017) states that intrapsychic and
interpersonal are the leading factors causing relapse. Kadam et al. therefore, proposes the socio-
cognitive behavioral model by emphasizing gene-environment relationships alongside the
interaction of biological and psychosocial factors that make individuals susceptible to relapse
(2017). In this case, shared medical appointments (SMA), also known as group therapy, can
provide value to patients by promoting group-specific communication behaviors that support
recovery. It is by comparing the impacts of MAT and SMA in prevention of relapse in alcohol
and opioid-dependent individuals that one can decide the best model to apply in Opioid Use
Disorder.
PICO Question and Relevance to the Topic
Among incarcerated adults with alcohol and opioid dependence (P), how does
medication-assisted treatment (I) compared to group visits (C) help in preventing relapse six
months after release from prison (T)? According to Grand Canyon University (2018), one can
use models to develop step-by-step processes of organizing a problem from a problem to a
practice of nursing unit. One can, therefore, identify a problem focus derived clinical problems,
population outcomes, or educational center to engage in new research or practice guidelines. The
included studies serve as models that can translate research into practice. Kadam et al. (2017)
