The Final Project
In order to complete the final project and get A on this paper, you have to answer all of these questions and requirements.
- Define evidence-based practices
- Explain the evidence-based practice process including all the following:
- Formulate your clinical question using (PICO) formula:
- Patient problem (P)
- Intervention/s (I)
- Comparison intervention (C)
- Outcomes (O)
- Find the evidence by searching literature database (PubMed, Medline, Ovid, …..)
- Decide on the database you are going to search
- Prepare the keywords for your search (including alternative terms or abbreviation)
- Use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to further breakdown your search
- Specify: the time period, language, type of study, …..etc)
- Analyze an article of your searching results:
- Assess the evidence
- Understand and explain the study design and the outcomes being measured
- Use the research evidence to make an informed decision to implement or forbid the evidence-based intervention
- Include a research summary on different evidence based practices that are commonly adopted in healthcare.
- Search two different evidence based practices that have been used in healthcare field. Use this template and fill-in the following 13 fields (hint: the information will be from the articles)
Template for Decision Aid
| Name of the intervention | |
| Aim of the intervention | |
| Description: (mode of delivery, frequency, restrictions) | |
| How it does work? | |
| Extent of effectiveness | |
| Goals to be achieved | |
| What will be the required tasks by the patient/ User to be able to use this intervention effectively? | |
| Benefits | |
| Risks | |
| Side effects | |
| Effect on quality of life | |
| Sources for further information | |
| References | |
| Does the article mentioned the alternative options or recommendations |
- Select a disease and how it has been impacted by evidence based practices.
- Information technology and knowledge management.
(hint: you might use one of the previous articles as an example). Answer how the tactic and/or explicit knowledge management were conducted to adopt the evidence.
- Explain in details how could you search for available evidence base?
- Formulate your search clinical problem
- How and why you choose your searching database
- How are you going to put together your search statement (keywords, alternatives, abbreviation) using Boolean terms
- Find the evidence of just two articles of the total searched articles. suggest or recommend the evidence-based practice based on the outcomes for the disease of choice.
Finally, follow all the above 6 required steps in detail.
