What is evidence-based practice? and what are the 3 parts? ✔Correct Answer-it is a PROCESS

1) clinical expertise
2)best research evidence
3) pt values & preferences
What are ources of evidence other than research? ✔Correct Answer-- trial & error
- tradition
-intuition
-authority
-borrowed evidence (hand me down research)
why do we need EBP? ✔Correct Answer--to provide the best possible patient care
- to prepare health care practitioners to:
think critically, question the traditional mindset, and base decisions on data and best evidence.
Which of the following is not a component of the definition of EBP? ✔Correct Answer-
organizational culture
What is the average time for scientific findings to be incorporated into scientific practice?
✔Correct Answer-17 years
Barriers to EBP and what to do? ✔Correct Answer-- organizational structure
adequate resources, support and encouragement, expectation to engage in research
-nurses' belief systems
creating educational opportunities to learn about EBP
-research-related
limit jargon and complex stats, difficult to understand -->interpret
Model of EBP process? ✔Correct Answer-Formulating an answerable question around an area
of clinical uncertainty --> locating the evidence --> appraising evidence to establish validity and
relevance --> implementing the findings --> evaluating performance
Article components ✔Correct Answer-- abstract
-introduction
-review of the literature
-theoretical framework
, -methodology
-results
-discussion
-references
Abstract ✔Correct Answer-First section of research article. Summary of article. Every journal
has different requirements for how long It must be. Does not necessarily have to mean research
Introduction ✔Correct Answer-statement of problem with purpose statement/background
information.
review of the literature ✔Correct Answer-Unbiased and comprehensive synthesized
description of current and landmark studies. (current within 5 years, landmark could be up to
30 years/leaders in the field).
theoretical framework ✔Correct Answer-Relationships among concepts and provides lengths
to what is being measured in the study. Looks at concepts/ general variables that guides your
study.
Methodology ✔Correct Answer-study design
ex: randomized control trials, descriptive designs, interviews, information about the sample is in
this section. Information about your sample (Ages of participants), data collections,
demographic information, how was it collected, procedure- how you got the research done.
Should be for someone to repeat the entire study. Someone else could replicate the research
"recipe book."
results ✔Correct Answer-Analyzing of data, characteristics of samples, data collected.
Variables (sample ranges→ numbers, demographics table). Results of actual study: qualitative
study, numeric results
discussion ✔Correct Answer-Discussion is interpretation of the results, limitations of study,
implications of practice and research, future studies.
Explain PICOT ✔Correct Answer-- Population and disease (age, gender, ethnicity, with a
certain disorder)
- Intervention or variable of interest (exposure to disease, risk behavior, prognostic factor, ex.
Flu vaccine)
- Comparison: could be a placebo or "business as usual" as in no disease (standard of care),
absence of risk factor, prognostic factor
- Outcome: risk of disease, accuracy of a diagnosis, rate of occurrence of adverse outcome
- Time: the time it takes to demonstrate an outcome (the time it takes for the intervention to
achieve an outcome or how long participants are observed).
Note: not every question will have an intervention or time component.
