,to use research for an EBP and to practice using the highest quality processes, you
do not have to conduct research; however, you do need to understand and appraise
the steps of the research process in order to read the research literature critically
and use it to inform clinical decisions
research definition - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔a systematic investigation, including research
development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to
generalizable knowledge
quantitative and qualitative research
studies are guided by research questions
nurses employ the same methods used by other disciplines yet study questions are
relevant to nursing practice
quantitative vs. qualititative research - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔quantitative: encompasses
the study of research questions and/or hypotheses that describe phenomena, test
relationships, assess differences, seek to explain cause-and-effect relationships
between variables, and test for intervention effectiveness--numeric data are
summarized and analyzed using statistics--techniques are systematic and
methodology is controlled

,qualititative: question is about understanding the meaning of a human experience
such as grief, hope, or loss--meaning of an experience is based on the view that
meaning varies and is subjective--context of experience also plays a role--generally
conducted in natural settings and uses data that are words or text rather than
numeric to describe the experiences being studied--guided by research questions
and data are collected from a small number of subjects, allowing an in-depth study
of a phenomenon--subjective approach but systematic in its method
QI definition - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔systematic use of data to monitor the outcomes of
care processes and improvement methods to design and test changes to
continuously improve the quality and safety of health care systems
uses currently available knowledge to improve health care delivery within the local
setting
QI elements - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔1. conducting an assessment
2. setting specific goals for improvement
3. identifying ideas for changing current practice
4. deciding how improvements in care are measured
5. rapidly testing practice changes
6. measuring improvements in care

, 7. adopting practice change as new standard of care
want to create measurable change across quality domains through application of
these 7 steps, often through the plan, do, study, act model
research vs. QI - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔research studies generate new knowledge that is
generalizable to other populations and settings
QI projects use currently available knowledge to improve health care delivery
within the local setting
IRB should have a written policy and template for determining the difference
between humans subjects research and QI
research and EBP - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔best research evidence, clinical expertise, and
patient values all come together in EBP (see Venn diagram)
EBP allows one to systematically use the best available evidence from research
with the integration of individual clinical expertise as well as the patient's values
and preferences to make clinical decisions
developing EBP expertise - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔conduct effective literature reviews
develop critical reading skill process
