Chapter 1 Flashcards
Malocclusion
Misalignment of upper and lower teeth, irregular bite, cross bite, cam affect speech and eating
Meta analysis
Quantitative stat analysis of several separate but similar studies to test pooled data for stat significance.
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)
2nd to 3rd week in preterm formula fed infant leads to damage of intestinal system with increased mortality. 50%
Peer support
Lactation support by individual with same life experience
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
Sudden and unexplained death in infancy may be explained or not
Systemic review
Detailed and strategic search involving summarizing results of quantitative studies - high level of evidence on the effectiveness of healthcare interventions
Technology mediated support
Technology used by LC to deliver education, care and support via social media, mobile apps, videoconferencing and telehealth
Lactation support provider
Trained, certified or licensed BF education, care, and support according to specific scope.
Exclusive breastfeeding
No other food or drink for 6 months. Oral rehydration solutions, and medicines or vitamins in liquid form are not considered food or drink.
Benefits breastfeeding for infants and children
Protect respiratory illness, reduced risk of asthma, protective against GI infections and diarrhea (may be dose related), reduces risk of otitis media, lowers risk of cavities, lowers risk of malocclusion, lowers risk of NEC in preterm infants, lowers risk for SIDS (strongest with exclusive), lowers risk of childhood leukemia, may lower risk of obesity, may reduce risk of diabetes , may be associated with higher performance on intelligence tests
Benefits for lactating parents
Lowers risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer, associated with lactational amenorrhea (if 6 months or longer), may decrease risk for Type 2 diabetes, may lower risk of cardiovascular disease
Global impact
Economic benefits in reduction of illness, in black population in US worse with increased NEC and other illness including GI, >1500 maternal deaths could be averted by optimal breastfeeding
Evidence based practice (EBP)
Integration of best available clinical evidence, clinician and provider expertise and patient needs and preferences into comprehensive plan of care and support
Has become expectation and evidence based medicine are now expected in health care
John’s Hopkins EBP - identify clinical practice problem or question, find and evaluate the research, translate research into clinical practice
Highest level of evidence is RCT
*** Finding and evaluating evidence **
Evidence informed practice (EIP)
Process by which a clinician uses knowledge and expertise to evaluate all forms of clinical evidence patient needs and preferences and the specific clinical presentation and circumstances to create an individualized plan of care and support
Need to elevate clinical expertise over pure RCTs, clinical intuition is important
Patients have complex needs, need to value their experiences and values
Consider all forms of research - fit the method to the problem
Consider the community values and culture
Balance all 3 pillars: Clinical expertise, patient needs and patient values
Knowledge translation, Knowledge to Action (KTA)
The syntheses, exchange and application of knowledge by relevant stakeholders to accelerate the benefits of global and local innovation in strengthening health systems and improving people’s health
Can take a long time to implement new findings
Knowledge to Action (KTA) - identify problem, modify and review knowledge, adapt knowledge to local situation, assess barriers, select and tailor interventions, monitor knowledge of use. This process is cyclical
Qualitative research
Scientific inquiry that seeks to interpret the meaning of life experiences, cultures and social processes from personal perspective, predominately through interviews and observations
Quantitative research
Scientific inquiry that uses precise objective measurement and statistical analysis to describe, compare or determine causation of interventions and effects
Systemic review
A process of evaluating multiple studies of one focus area or intervention and synthesizing the results to determined the best or most evidence supported course of action for patient care
RCTs as part of EBP
Overemphasis is problematic
Costly, complicated
Randomization to no treatment group can be unethical
Interventions not tested in RCT are considered not evidence based
May be undervaluing clinical expertise and patient needs
Statistical findings may not be clinically relevant
PICOT Method
P = patient, problem, population I= intervention, prognostic factor, exposure C= comparison (what is alternative) O=Outcome of interest T = time involved to demonstrate outcome
Good research databases
CINAHI
PubMed
PsycINFO
Cochran Collaboration: systematic reviews
BF Peer reviewed journals
Journal of human lactation
Breastfeeding medicine
Clinical lactation
International Breastfeeding Journal
Type 1 error
Study concludes there is a significant effect when there is not (pvalue gives that amount accepting by test)
Type 2 error
Study concludes there is a difference when there is not
Power
How likely you are to find a real difference if one exists (best if at least 80%)
Statistical vs clinical significance
Large sample get stat sig but not clinically relevant
Stat terms Inferential stats Dependent and independent Null hypothesis and alternative Pvalue Type 1 error Type 2 error
Just review
Power of a study
Stat sig vs clinical sig
Know it
Relative risk
Risk or odds of disease for groups that exposed or unexposed
Compares prob of getting the disease or condition in exposed vs unexposed
Tests t-test, paired t-test, ANOVA, chi-square, correlation, multiple regression, logistic regression
Know this
Odds ratio
Odds of getting a disease in exposed vs unexposed. More complex than RR and doesn’t translate like RR hard to interpret if not rare events
NNT, RD, Attributable Risk, Population Attributable Risk
Number needed to treat = 1/ RD
Qualitative Methods Evaluation
Multiple constructed realities, subject-object interaction, simultaneous mutual shaping, , value bound inquiry
Have philosophies that govern
Usually natural settings, purposive sampling, inductive analysis,
Qualitative design phases
Identify the problem Conduct literature review Address ethical issues Gaining entry Focused exploration, confirmation and closure , dissemination
Sampling in qualitative
Purposive, convenience, max variation sampling, snowball sampling (people refer each other), theoretical (select participants to ensure accuracy of emerging groups)
