Research study: Motivational interviewing at well-child appointments is the intervention based on research that has been addressed. Quantifiable results include BMI, daily physical activity, and blood pressure. BMI, blood pressure (systolic, diastolic), quality of life questionnaires, and logs for physical activity may be used to measure the outcome. The impact of an intervention may not be fully measured within the first 8-10 weeks due to the slowness with which BMI, blood-pressure, and physical activity changes.

Research Study: A research-based skin integrity bundle was compared with standard care in this study. Quantifiable outcomes include the number of pressure injuries acquired in hospital. The number of injuries sustained by each patient, their severity, and duration may be included in the outcome measurement. You may be able to determine the outcome of your intervention in 8-10 weeks, since pressure injuries are likely to occur.
