This assignment presents a PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) question focusing on the effectiveness of fish oil in treating osteoarthritis in older women. The student investigates this clinical question, examining the available evidence and research findings to determine if fish oil is a viable treatment option. The assignment includes a discussion of relevant databases like CINAHL and EBSCO, search strategies, and key search terms used to identify pertinent articles. Two articles are reviewed, highlighting the role of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) in reducing inflammation and pain associated with osteoarthritis. The student concludes that there is strong evidence supporting the usefulness of fish oil in treating osteoarthritis, suggesting its potential benefits for patients. References to supporting research are also included.
