Q

DNP base practice on..

When DNP do this what is the outcome?

A
  1. Scientific evidence: qualitative and quantitative
  2. Expert opinion
  3. Experience
  4. Pathophysiologic rationale
  5. The outcome is care that is EBP, individualized, and reflective

Q

What is the difference between EBP and research?

A

Research: You’re making new knowledge or validating/refining existing knowledge. it is key to building EBP
EBP: integrates best research evidence and clinical expertise, patient needs and values.

Q

What is the goal of EBP?

Q

Ecological validity

A

Ecological validity - of a study means that the methods, materials and setting of the study must approximate the real-world that is being examined. Unlikeinternalandexternal validity, ecological validity is not necessary to the overallvalidityof a study. Ecological validity is often confused withexternal validity—the property of a study that reflects our ability to generalize from a its results to circumstances beyond the research setting. While the two forms of validity are closely related, they are independent—a study may possess external validity but not ecological validity. How?

Q

Why would you use qualitative data

A
  1. understand issue or problem
  2. explain quantitative study
  3. provide information to make quantitive study
  4. Uncover the why of which influences decisions and opinions
  5. look for range of ideas or feelings about something
  6. understand different perspectives between groups and categories of people

Q

why would you use Quantitative research

A
  1. Recommend final course of action
  2. find if there was a consensus on a particular issue
  3. project results to larger population
  4. ID relationship in a cause-effect way
  5. describe characteristics of relevant groups of people
  6. test hypothesis and look at specific relationships
  7. ID and size market segments

Q

DNP responsibilities

A
  1. critically appraise studies from both paradigms
  2. synthesize findings across multiple studies
  3. derive guidelines or protocols for your work setting
  4. update your own practice in terms of new evidence
  5. lead quality improvement initiatives

16
Q

T or F studies can be from both paradigms?

A

true, may be qualitative or quantitative

17
Q

list the evidence hierarchy from the one with the most validity to the least

A

need to make notecards on the different levels

18
Q

Things that effect internal validity:

A

Validityis the extent to which aconclusion is a well-founded one given the design and analysis of a study. It comes in two different types: external validity and internal validity.

Things that effect internal validity: 
Selection bias (who’s doing the experiment and who gets put in which condition), can be from both parties – the sample or the researcher 
Performance bias (differences between conditions other than the ones of interest, e.g. running people in condition one in the morning and condition two in the afternoon)
Detection bias (how the outcomes measures are coded and interpreted,blinding which condition a participant is in before coding is paramount to reduce the researcher’s bias to want to find a difference between conditions. A lot of retractions lately have been down to failures to act against detection bias.) (ex) cute data collection method is cute, the participants might be affected. 
Attrition bias (Ignoring drop-outs, especially if one condition is especially stressful, causing high drop-out rates and therefore bias in the participants who completed it. This probably isn’t a big problem in most evolutionary linguistics research, but may be in other psychological stuff.)
“Intention to treat”

External validity is the extent to which the results of an experiment or study can be extrapolated to different situations.

A third type of validity has become important in the world of EBP: Ecological validity. When a study has ecological validity, it means that the methods, materials and setting of the study approximate the real-world that is being examined. Unlikeinternalandexternal validity, ecological validity is not necessary to the overallvalidityof a study. Ecological validity is often confused withexternal validity—the property of a study that reflects our ability to generalize from a its results to circumstances beyond the research setting. While the two forms of validity are closely related, they are independent—a study may possess external validity but not ecological validity. How?

Eco: needs to resemble the real world
External: how a sample can be replicated.
