Literature Search Plan
| Task | Content | Results | Marks | |
| 1 | Use AI to generate your initial draft research question | 1.1 Name the AI tool you used | AI tool used (ChatGPT) Reference: OpenAI. (2025). ChatGPT. ChatGPT; OpenAI. https://chatgpt.com/ | Pass |
| 1.2 Which question or PICOT component did you ask AI? | PICOT component What nursing interventions are effective in supporting elderly women from the years 60-80 years who are recovering from hip replacement surgery? P ___________- older adults (women) with post-hip replacement surgery. I ___________- post-operative physiotherapy, medication management/education. C ___________: Standard post-operative care (physiotherapy or Occupational therapy O ___________- Improvement in balance, reduction in falls or prevention of falls, and enhanced mobility through standardized assessments or specific scales such as mobility assessment Tool for hip replacement patients, 6-Minutes’ Walk Test (6MWT), Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test T ___________nil | |||
| 1.3 What was the research question that AI-generated? | In elderly women recovering from hip replacement surgery, what is the impact of combining post-operative physical therapy with occupational therapy compared to standard care? | |||
| 2 | Based on your analysis, define or redevelop the PICOT components for your final research question | 2.1 | What is your final research question, including its PICOT components? | 5 |
| P | In female older adults with post-hip replacement surgery. | |||
| I | Physiotherapy combined with Occupational Therapy | |||
| C | Standard post-operative care | |||
| O | Reduced fall rates, improved balance, and mobility. | |||
| T | nil | |||
| 2.2 Now write your final PICOT question in a full sentence: In female older adults recovering from hip replacement surgery (p), how does the combination of postoperative physiotherapy and occupational therapy(I), compared to standard care (C), affect fall rates, balance, and mobility (O) for two to four months(T)? | 5 | |||
| 3 | Write down the purpose statement in 1-2 sentence/s | This literature search aims to determine whether combining postoperative physiotherapy with occupational therapy reduces fall rates and improves mobility in older women recovering from hip replacement surgery. The goal is to inform evidence-based practice and improve patient outcomes. | 5 | |
| 4 | Briefly describe your search plan | Databases (at least two databases) | 1: CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) 2: PubMed | 10 |
| Search strategy, including limiters | I will use Boolean Operators to combine search terms: Post-operative Physiotherapy *AND* Occupational Therapy AND Hip Replacement Recovery *AND* Fall Prevention *AND* Older Adults Balance AND Mobility Improvement AND Fall Risk Prevention. Limiters: I will use – Full-text articles Peer-reviewed journals Published in the last 10 yearsEnglish Language Studies Involving the adult population aged female older adults. | |||
| Search terms | I will search terms like: Post-operative PhysiotherapyFall prevention in elderly patientsHip replacement recoveryBalance after hip surgery or replacementMobility improvement post hip surgery | |||
| Inclusion/Exclusion criteria | Inclusion -The inclusion criteria studies will focus on elderly patients undergoing hip surgery. -Articles discussing physiotherapy, hip replacement recovery, and post-surgical mobility -Peer-reviewed studies from the past ten years Exclusion Criteria: -These studies will focus on the types of surgeries or recovery process -Articles not peer-reviewed -Studies on pain management only without considering rehabilitation. | |||
| 5 | Reflection | Reflect on your experience of using AI in developing a research question, including advantages, disadvantages, perceptions, challenges and suggestions. (150 words) I used AI to generate a structured first part of my PICOT question. It provided a starting point that allowed me to focus on formulating a straightforward, relevant, answerable, and clinical question for my literature search. I was unsure about relying on AI for such an important academic task as there was a lot of information. However, the process was smooth and helped me refine my thoughts. I felt confident using the tool after seeing its clarity regarding my research question. The AI tool was beneficial but required adjustment to fit the clinical context. Al could support research question development, but human oversight is crucial. AI can streamline the process, but refinement is necessary to ensure clinical relevance. For future tasks, I will continue using AI tools (if instructed) for the initial draft but will ensure that I refine and tailor the results to fit the precise clinical details of the scenario. | 5 | |
