Week 3 - Ethics in Research and EBP Flashcards
(141 cards)
What is research
It is a systematic inquiry that uses orderly methods to answer a question or solve a problem.
What is nursing research
It is a systematic inquiry designed to develop knowledge about issues of importance of the nursing profession.
nurses do research to solve issues for the patient and it can encompass many topics
What are the scopes of nursing research
scientific approach
applied approach
What are the classifications of nursing research
quantitative research
qualitative research
Scientific Approach
has to do with building the science of the profession of nursing (starts with something like bench research to clinical trials)
Applied Approach
How the information/science is put into practice/populations
What are the 3 interrelated concepts in nursing research which aim to ID, utilize, and apply scientific knowledge from research to clinical practice
- Research Utilization
- Knowledge Translation
- EBP
Research utilization
Applying the information and applying to populations - started in the 70s and 80s
Use of study findings in a practical application in SPECIFIC clinical areas unrelated to original research
Knowledge Translation
acknowledge, take the information, and translate it in a way that is useable (scientific research –> patient care)
Process of synthesizing, disseminating, and using of research knowledge
EBP
Evidence based practice
patient care and patient preferences !!!
Integration of clinical expertise, patient values, and the best research evidence into the decision making process for patient care
How does Research Utilization flow into Knowledge Translation? How does knowledge translation then flow into EBP
Research Utilization: Aims to make an impact on or change in the existing nursing practice –> Knowledge Translation: Bridges the gap in scientific research and its utilization in the delivery of health care services (Stakeholders) –> EBP: Aims to unify research evidence for best decision clinical making
___ causes nursing to move from vocation to profession
EBP
Hx of Research Utilization in Nursing Practice
- Early to Mid 70s: Studies ID’ed Knowledge-Practice Gaps - Nurses were not using research in practice so overall the profession was not using research knowledge
- 80s: CURN Project: Sought to bridge the K-P gap and the Conduct and Utilization of Research in Nursing Project created Research Utilization
- 90s: EBP began to supercede RU
Archie Cochrane and the Cochrane Collaborative
Called for efforts to make research summaries about interventions available to health care providers
These collaborative guidelines aggregate information and studies and rank quality of studies and methods to give overarching guidelines on best available treatment
Part of EBP movement
David Sackett
Developed Evidence Based Medicine which brought in the use of best evidence for all health providers
Would lead to EB Nursing Practice
What exactly is EBP
a life long problem solving approach to clinical practice integrating best evidence, clinical expertise, preferences of the patients
Its a systematic way to be sure that when we care for a patient we incorporate best evidence and pt preferences
What sets EBP apart from best evidence use
PATIENT PREFERENCE incorporation
What things does EBP integrate
search, critical appraisal, and synthesis of the most relevant and best research (external evidence/ best evidence)
ones own clinical expertise, which includes internal evidence generated from outcome management or quality improvement projects, patient assessment and evaluation (clinical expertise/internal evidence)
patient preferences and values
Almost all EBP uses ___ research
quantitative
Best Evidence of EBP comes from …
the findings of quantitative research studies
Clinical Expertise in EBP can include experience and what other things?
Expert Panels
Consensus Statements
Practice Groups
Practitioner Experience
Patient Preferences in EBP include what things
Satisfaction
QOL
Treatment Burden (Is it worth getting treatment for low QOL?)
Qualitative Studies
While most EBP and best evidence comes from quantitative evidence, what can qualitative evidence do?
show us patient preferences and patient experience
Models of the EBP Process
ARCC Model
Diffusion of Innovations Model
Iowa Model of EBP to Promote Quality Care
Johns Hopkins Nursing EBP Model
PARIHS Model
Stetler Model of RU (still uses RU! despite move to EBP)
