Capstone Case Study

Select one.

For this section, you will submit your proposal and PICOT question, detailing a health problem that is prevalent within your community and demonstrating your research of evidence-based health promotion strategies and disease prevention for addressing this specific health problem. The proposal must demonstrate Graduate School level writing and critical analysis.

The PICOT question is due on week 5; please bring it to class for review and approval.

PICOT Question
The word PICOT is a mnemonic derived from the elements of a clinical research question – patient, intervention, comparison, outcome, and (sometimes) time. The PICOT process begins with a case scenario, and the question is phrased to elicit an answer.

P – Patient/Problem I – Intervention

C – Comparison O – Outcome

Use the “Literature Review Template” as a guideline to help you sort through your thoughts, note important points and think through the similarities and differences: Appendix B

Dyspareunia, also known as painful sexual activity, is a common but under-appreciated health issue for females. Estimates of the prevalence of this condition in the general population vary between 3 and 18%, and estimates of lifetime prevalence range from 10 to 28 percent. There is a lot of variation in the methods used in studies of prevalence (Yeo and al. 2021). The root causes of the disease are often difficult to detect and treat and the root causes are a bit hazy and not well recognized. The causes of sexual pain are often ignored or not addressed and, as a result, can significantly increase discomfort in patients. There are many possible reasons and attempts to understand and understand the problem are complicated by classification difficulties and the absence of any research evidence (Fiala 2019). While subtyping into deep or superficial classifications is not uncommon but it could hinder attempts to treat the pain in a holistic manner. Women suffering from vulvodynia often and alarmingly experience dyspareunia, which is a particular symptom that can be aggravation of vestibulodynia. Furthermore, a range of medical ailments which cause genital discomfort like endometriosis, skin issues involving the vulvus (such as the lichen Sclerosus) as well as vulvovaginal and urinary tract infections, as well as STIs which can cause painful sexual relations. Dyspareunia often co-occurs with other sexual disorders, including lack of sexual desire or anxiety in bed. Body image issues, catastrophizing as well as pain-sensitive and depression and low self-esteem are all psychosocial causes. Cont…
