Evidence-Informed Practice
combines best evidence from research, clinical practice, knowledge, expertise, and unique client experiences, values, choices when making clinical decisions
Quantitative research
research methodology that tests hypotheses and uses numbers to describe relationships, differences, and cause-effect interactions among variables
Systematic review
summary of research evidence that relates to a specific question and to the effects of an intervention
Meta-analysis
systematically analyzes the results of multiple studies that are comparable to produce a summary of those results
Randomized controlled trials
gold standard evidence that uses a control group versus an experimental group. Best sources of research for efficacy and safety in clinical practice
Qualitative research
research methods that explore human experiences using words/themes
Phenomenology
looks at understanding the meaning of the lived experience
Grounded theory
experiences for theory development
Ethnography
looks at understanding culture from an insider perspective
Participatory Action Research (PAR)
a form of qualitative research, it is based on reflection, data collection, and action-oriented research that helps CHNs understand and improve the world through change.
Deontology
based on theory, the goal of “rule ethics” is to outline moral duties and obligations by setting out rules or principles
Consequentialism
based on theory, holds that the morality of an action is dependent on the outcome of that action (what are the consequences?)
Utilitarianism
based on consequentialism theory, holds that a morally right action is the one that produces the greatest amount of good or least amount of harm in a given situation (it is the outcome or consequence of the action that is important, not the action itself)
