Researching and Publishing. 1. How to Formulate a Research Question. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2024, vol.39, n.1, pp.59-61. Epub 16-Maio-2024. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.1174.
Introduction:
The research question is the genesis of knowledge; it represents the need to answer something unknown or at least suspected about reality. This article aims to show the fundamental elements of a research question for its adequate formulation.
Methods:
A literature review was conducted in search of articles that presented the most valuable and practical steps for formulating a research question. Emphasis was placed on essential words such as feasible, interesting, novel, ethical, and relevant, summarized in the acronym FINER.
Results:
To adequately structure the question, the following aspects were included: population, patients or problem; intervention or indicator being studied; comparison group; outcome of interest; and time frame of the study, summarized in the acronym PICOT.
Conclusions:
Research questions can be phrased to address essential elements of the study, including the population to be studied, the expected outcomes, and the time it will take to achieve them.
