Chapter 1 Flashcards
Research Literacy
Using primary research literature to become well informed on a given topic
includes ability to located understand, and critically evaluate evidence for application to practice
Primary Research Papers
Peer reviewed reports of new research on a specific question
Review articles
AKA systematic reviews, ALSO peer reviewed but UNLIKE Primary research papers, they do not present new info but summarize multiple primary research articles to give a general consensus of data
Disinfodemic
A term to describe falsehoods (disinformation)
Evidence informed practice model

What is the 6S pyramid
A tool used to find the best available research quickly, divided from most specific with the least coverage of data, to less specific with a greater coverage of sources and data
Worst
Single studies
Synopses of studies
Syntheses
Synopses of syntheses
Summaries
Systems
Synopses of studies
Outline key messages of single studies
Make it easier to find studies relevant to question
No single source of these for public health
Syntheses
Combination of single studies on certain topic into single document
Fewer documents
More applicable than single studies
Synopses of syntheses
Documents consisesly presesnting the findings of syntheses
Summaries
THe most synthesises source of research evidence for public health
The results of synthesise combined with expert opinion on a topic into a single document
Evidence at this level is most synthesised
Systems
Electronic info systems linking individual patient information with guidelines for practice to generate best care plan
Only available for acute care settings, not for public health
The most synthesised info available
Evidence-informed decision making includes
Research, People, and Practice
Primary Research study
One study with group of research tackle problem, conduct study, and analyze data
Quantitatively, qualitatively or mix methods
