The focus for Week 2 is on questions: PICOT/PICo and practice questions. o Using the area of interest from Week 1, identify the following. o Will you be using a quantitative or qualitative approach for your EBP project proposal? o Explain why this approach is the best one to provide information for your area of interest. o Create a PICOT/PICo question using the PICOT/PICo format for quantitative and PICo for qualitative approaches. o Identify your practice question, being sure to include th...

Data collection is at the center of research because the facts gathered will contribute new information as well as answer the research question. For this discussion, please respond to each of the following topics. • Refine your PICOT question. • Explain your specific research approach (qualitative or quantitative or mixed methods) and how it has the potential to answer your research question. • Discuss you data collection method, addressing strengths and identifying one potential weakn...

Using the following steps found within the translation phase of the Practice Evidence Translation (PET) model developed by Johns Hopkins, select a research result reported in a journal article that supports your PICOT/PICo question. Please respond to the following steps. Please note that wording of the steps may have been modified slightly from the PET so that they help with this posting. Include the permalink at the end of your posting. • Using references, identity the research result that y...

With the focus on qualitative design and sampling, this is a great opportunity to compare and contrast quantitative and qualitative research approaches. For each of the following areas, apply information that considers one advantage and one disadvantage regarding • control over study conditions with the quantitative research approach; • control over study conditions with the qualitative research approach; • extending or generalizing results from a sample to a larger group or population ...

The difference between statistically significant results and clinical significance is very interesting. For this discussion, respond to each of the following topics. • Distinguish between statistical and clinical significance of results. • Would it be possible to have research study results that supported the acceptance of the null hypothesis and demonstrate clinical significance? Provide a hypothetical example that supports your answer. • If you question the credibility of the results fr...

For this discussion the focus is on presenting the area of interest for the evidence-based practice proposal that is required for this course. • State your area of research or evidence-based practice (EBP) interest from NR 500; remember that the topic must be consistent with your specialty track. • State your MSN program specialty track and defend how your selected area of research or EBP interest from NR 500 is consistent with your selected MSN program track. • Would you like to change yo...

The focus of the Week 3 discussion is on two important elements of quantitative research studies- design and sampling. The approach or design, quantitative or qualitative, also applies to EBP projects. Both quantitative and qualitative have diFerent designs or traditions that fall under these two broad categories. Select a single-study quantitative research study article related to your specialty track and provide the permalink to the article. Then discuss each of the following items. • Iden...

The lesson for Week 8 asks you to objectively reflect on your current use of evidence-based practice. Throughout this course you have worked hard and created a template for an EBP project proposal. Rather than look to the past, this discussion asks you to look to the future—your future as an MSN-prepared advanced practice nurse! You are a nurse leader in your future advanced practice track-based setting. You notice that although nurses say they use evidence-based practice (EBP), you find very...
