CI Test 1 Flashcards
Evidence Based Practice
includes standardized outcomes, standardized terminology, personalized care, and constantly evolving practice
International Classification of Function
A model of health and disability; labels health conditions based on its effects on body sxs/fxns, activities, participation, environmental factors, and personal factors
Body Structures/Functions (ICF)
Addresses where the impairment is; includes things such as pain, limited ROM, weakness,
Activities (ICF level)
Actual activity effected by the impairment; could include walking, climbing stairs, bed mobility, balance
Participation (ICF level)
How the limited activity actually effects daily life; things such as cannot deliver mail because they can’t walk, cannot be an usher at church, cannot wash the dishes; could include mobility activities, community activities
Environmental Factors (ICF)
things that could effect the individual’s function/limitations that are in the environment; weather, climate, roads, disability access
Personal Factors (ICF)
Factors within the individual that could effect an individual’s outcome in recovery; depression, motivation
Evidence Based Practic
the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients; requires clinical expertise, research evidence (valid/relevant), and patient values
Steps of Evidence Based Medicine
- Determine need
- Create Question
- Search Database
- Triage
- Critical Appraisal
- Integration
- Application
(DCST CIA)
Determine Need (EBM)
Step 1
The patient creates need for clinically important information
Create Question (EBM)
Second step
Information needs to be converted into an answerable question
Search Database (EBM)
3rd step in EBM
Search for answer to clinical question using relevant sources
Triage (EBM)
Fourth step in EBM
Determine best evidence source for the solution to the problem
Critical Appraisal (EBM)
Step five
Evidence is appraised for validities and applicability
Integration (EBM)
Step 6
Integrate the evidence, experience and patient values to develop a plan of care
Application (EBM)
Step 7
Evidence is applied and clinical outcomes are evaluated
How do we prevent PTs from not maintaining EBP after they graduate?
Encourage use of standardized outcome tools, keep track of outcomes, and assess performances
Autonomy
The ability to make one’s own decisions and to act on them; “self-determination”
Beneficence
The obligation to attend to the well-being of participants;
The need to maximize benefits and minimize harm
The need to critically evaluate the risk/benefit relationship
Justice
Fairness in a study; equitable distribution of benefits and burdens
There is an equal chance of being assigned to intervention groups
Control Groups in Clinical Research (maintaining ethical action)
The best way to determine the effect of an intervention is to compare to a control group;
To make it ethical, offer a treatment option to the control group
There might not be any treatments that have been shown to be effective, so in this case it may be justified in comparing no treatment to a new treatment
Nuremberg Code
First formalized guidelines for research; evolved from Nazi war crimes trials;
Every individual must give informed consent for participation
Declaration of Helsinki
Independent review of research protocols by an impartial committee; research findings obtained without this review should NOT be published
Institutional Review Board
Reviews research protocols to ensure rights of participants are protected; must consist of at least 5 members of a diverse make up from different social, cultural, and occupational backgrounds
IRB Reviews Research Proposals Based on:
Scientific merit Competence of investigators Risk to participants Feasibility based on resources available Risk-benefit ratio
Full IRB Review
For experimental procedures that have never been performed; with more than minimal risk; also for vulnerable populations;
Expedited Review
for very minimal risk experiments that uses standardized protocols frequently used in the past; reliability studies of the common clinical examination tools fall under this
Only a partial board convenes
Exempt REview
Surveys, interviews, as long as the information remains anonymous/ cannot be identified;
Studies of existing records
Elements of Informed Consent
Invitation to participate; Information, consent, and authorization Elements
Information Elements of Informed Consent
Disclosure of information; what is going to happen during the study to the subject;
What risks are there? What steps minimize these risks? What would happen in the case of harm? What are the benefits? How are they ensuring confidentiality? How long are they keeping info? Where can a participant go if they have questions?
Form written in lay language
Consent Elements
The assurance that participation is voluntary and the subject must be able to provide consent for themselves, otherwise they need a responsible party to sign
Is there compensation?
The subject is free to withdraw at any time
