EBP 2.0 Flashcards
occurs when the nurse can integrate best current evidence with clinical expertise and patient/family preferences and values for delivery of optimal health care
evidence based practice
true or false
evidence must not be automatically applied to the care of individual clients
TRUE
t/f
each nurse must determine how the evidence fits with the clinical condition of the client
true
these 2 types of research make valuable contributions to evidence based practice
quantitative and qualitative data
the systematic collection, statistical analysis, and interpretation of numerical data ; planned and fixed ; extraneous variables ; logical positivism
quantitative data
the systematic collection and thematic analysis of narrative data ; words than numbers ; naturalism ; holistic, report like a story
qualitative research
focused on lived experiences
phenomenology
focuses on cultural patterns of thoughts an behavior
ethnography
focuses on social processes
grounded theory
these type of research studies are not designed with the intent to change nursing practice directly
qualitative research
process in which decisions are made that result in a detailed plan or proposal for a study ; actual implementation of the plan
research process
can questions such as “should assisted suicide be allowed in this hospital??” be answered through research
no
t/f
a research problem should be of interest to the researcher
true
a study’s purpose statement is characterized by an __ verb that indicates whether the study will provide descriptive information
action
what does the PICO format stand for
patient, population
intervention
comparison
outcome
the best information is evidence that comes from ?
well designed research
t/f
even when you use the best evidence available application and outcomes will differ on the basis of your patients values, preferences, concerns, and expectation
true
as a nurse you develop __ skills to determine whether evidence is relevant and appropriate
critical thinking skills
one must search for the most __ evidence
relevant
age, gender ethnicity, and disease or health problem
patient, population of interest
which intervention is worthwhile to use in practice
intervention of interest
what is the usual standard of care or the intervention used now
comparison of interest
what result d you wish to achieve or observe as a result of an intervention
outcome
how much time is needed for an intervention to achieve an outcome
time
the question you asked eventually will lead you to __ for an answer
evidence
contain large collections of published scientific studies
databases
the diagram of the hierarchy of evidence shows that stronger evidence is __ up the triangle
farther up
they are the state of the art summaries from an individual researcher or panel of expert
systematic reviews or meta analysis
they are the perfect answers to PICOT questions
meta analysis and systematic reviews
behavior, characteristic, or outcome that the researcher wishes to explain or predict
dependent variable
it is the presume cause of or influence on the dependent variable
independent variable
a predictive statement about the relationship between two or more variables
hypothesis
nonexperimental designs are used for__ research studies
descriptive
it tells you if the article is researched or clinical based ; summarizes the purpose of the article
abstract
contains information about the purpose of the article
introduction
offers an argument about what led the author to conduct a study/report on a clinical topic
literature review
explains the focus or intent of the study
purpose statement
explains how a research study was organized and conducted
methods or design
summary section
results/conclusions
explains if the findings have clinical implications
clinical implications
small scale research study
pilot study
refers to the consistency of measures
reliability
refers to the completeness and conceptual accuracy of measures
validity
t/f
just because results are statistically significant does not automatically mean that they are clinically significant
true
research findings must be made __ if they are to become accessible and used to guide practice questions
public
thorough critique of a study for its conceptual and methodological integrity
scientific validation
involves assessing study findings for their implementation potential
comparative analysis
involves consideration of the potential risks and benefits of both implementing a change based on a study’s findings
cost-benefit analysis
A way to identify new knowledge, improve professional education and practice, and use resources effectively
nursing research
Helps patients, health care providers, and those in health care policy make informed decisions on the basis of current evidence. Typically focuses on the benefits, risks, costs, and holistic effects of a treatment on patients.
outcomes research
The foundation of research. The most reliable and objective means of acquiring and conducting research and gaining knowledge. A step-by-step process to ensure that findings from a study are valid, reliable, and generalizable to a similar group of subjects
scientific method
