Q

Hx of Research Utilization in Nursing Practice

A
  1. 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
  2. 80s: CURN Project: Sought to bridge the K-P gap and the Conduct and Utilization of Research in Nursing Project created Research Utilization
  3. 90s: EBP began to supercede RU

25
What are some resources for EBP in nursing
models of the EBP process preprocessed and pre appraised evidence
26
What is included under the term pre processed and pre appraised evidence
Clinical practice guidelines Appraisal of Guidelines Research and Evaluation (AGREE and AGREE II) *most evidence is based in guidelines which are mounted on a ton of research*
27
The 5 Major Steps (As) of EBP
1. Ask 2. Acquire 3. Appraise 4. Apply 5. Assess
28
What is step 0 of EBP
0 - Cultivating the Sense of Inquiry
29
In Organizational settings, EBP must begin by selecting a problem or topic in one of two ways. What are the 2 possible triggers
Knowledge Focused Triggers Problem Focused Triggers
30
Knowledge Focused Triggers
Begins with an innovation or research finding (eg: might emerge in a journal club) / something that catches your eye and you look into it
31
Problem Focused Triggers
Begins with a perplexing or troubling clinical situation ex: Why are nurses passing out more than they should
32
Step 1: Ask
Ask: Ask a well-worded clinical question that can be answered with research evidence.
33
Step 2: Acquire
Search for and retrieve the best evidence to answer the clinical question.
34
Step 3: Appraise
Critically appraise the evidence for validity and applicability to the problem and situation.
35
Step 4: Apply
After integrating the evidence with clinical expertise, patient preferences, and local context, apply it to clinical practice.
36
Step 5: Assess
Evaluate the outcome of the practice change.
37
When doing step 1: Ask of EBP, what framework is used
PICO - the framework for asking the question
38
PICO(T) Question
Patient population Intervention or issue of interest Comparison intervention or group ** Outcome Time frame** ** not always specified
39
What are compared to each other, what is the control, and what is the DV in PICOT
I and C are compared C would be the control O is the DV
40
When asking the question regarding qualitative research what components are looked at
population situation (processes, exp, cultures, hx, condition of interest)
41
Ethno, Grounded, Phenom. Key Words
Ethno - Culture Grounded - Process Phenom - Experience
42
Question templates
A template of PICOT that can greatly facilitate wording of questions - can reword article titles to make them make more sense too ex: In (population), what is the effect of (intervention), in comparison to (comparison), on (outcome) in (timeframe)
43
After Step 1: Ask, what comes next
Step 2: Acquire research evidence Can use PICOT as keywords to search the database find research
44
What are some databases for Step 2: Acquire of EBP
CINAHL (first line) MEDLINE Cochrane Collaboration Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality** National Guideline Clearinghouse** ** good place to look for clinical practice guidelines and is directly applicable to clinical practice
45
Step 3: Appraise the evidence involves what factors
Quality Magnitude Quantity Consistency Applicability Level of Evidence
46
Quality (Step 3)
to what extent is the evidence valid- how serious is the risk of biases in this research?
47
Magnitude (Step 3)
How large is the effect of the intervention or influence (I) on the outcome (O) in the population of interest (P)? Are the effects clinically significant? Is it significant enough to change behavior and practice to improve care
48
Quantity (Step 3)
How much evidence is there? How many studies have been conducted, and did those studies involve a large number of participants?
49
Consistency (Step 3)
How consistent are the findings across various studies? We want to see consistent agreement across studies
50
Applicability (Step 3)
To what extent is the evidence relevant to my clinical situation and patients? How well can this apply to care bedside, community care, large groups, family care
51
The key question during Step 3: Appraise is?
Applicability of research
52
Level of Evidence
Pyramid of evidence levels that is applicable to research appraisal by seeing where the study falls in regard to what type and level of evidence it is it looks at the level of study design 7 Levels
53
Evidence Level 1
Systematic Review of RCTs and nonrandomized trials / Reviews of Literature and Studies Quantitative evidence Considered the highest level/ best level
54
Evidence Level 2
Experimental Controlled Trials or Quasi Experimental Studies - Quantitative evidence
55
Evidence Level 3
Systematic Reviews of NON experimental studies - still quantitative evidence
56
Evidence Level 4
Individual Correlational Observational Studies Still quantitative
57
Evidence Level 5
Systematic Review of Qualitative Studies (which is hard to do since they are not made to be reviewed like that)
58
Evidence Level 6
Single Qualitative Study - not good evidence to make practice change since it was not meant to be generalized to change practice Not that its bad quality, just its design isnt for application purposes
59
Evidence Level 7
Opinions of Authorities and Expert Committees Highly susceptible to group think and outside pressure
60
High evidence level does not necessarily mean...
high quality research (needs systematic critique)
61
Levels of Evidence is not necessarily synonymous with
hierarchy of evidence
62
Grading the strength of a body of evidence addresses what 3 domains
quality (individual studies look more to this) quantity consistency (lit reviews look more at this)
63
Quality
the extent to which a study’s design, conduct, and analysis has minimized selection, measurement, and confounding biases (internal validity)
64
Quantity
the number of studies that have evaluated the question, overall sample size across all studies, magnitude of the treatment effect, strength from causality assessment, such as relative risk or odds ratio
65
Consistency
whether investigations with both similar and different study designs report similar findings (requires numerous studies)
66
Step 4: Apply the evidence, involves doing what
Evidence will be integrated into own clinical expertise and knowledge of the clinical setting - the integration from qualitative research can also provide rich insights into how a pt exp a problem or about barriers to complying with a treatment --> think of the smoking women study story So its you starting to use it in the practice environment
67
Step 4 is the __ step
implementation
68
What things must be considered when doing Step 4: Apply
EBP is not just research and published evidence: Pt hx and circumstances have sig bearing on nurse choice of intervention Also availability of resources must be considered - feasibility, cost benefit, transferability, cost benefit analysis View if it will really translate to this particular pt population
69
EBP Model purposes
to help implement (step 4) evidence into practice
70
Stetler Model of RU
EBP Model promotes EBP
71
IOWA Model of EBP
promotes quality care in practice
72
What do you ask during Step 5: Assess the outcomes of practice change?
Did you achieve the desired outcomes and make a change? If so, were the patients satisfied with the results? Were there barriers or issues?
73
What is the implicit Step 6 of EBP?
Step 6: Disseminate Outcomes of the EBP Decision or Change
74
Why is Step 6: Dissemination so important
Often positive outcomes are not shared with others- so communication among areas can help Numerous strategies exist to do this including personal communication, conference presentation, and peer reviewed article publications
75
What is the problem with Step 6: Dissemination
Diffusion of Innovation and Early adapters v Laggards
76
What is the problem with Diffusion of Innovation
There is a long gap for people to uptake new information and behavior Could take almost 20 years for wide adoption of a practice change from the research's beginning - there is resistance
77
Nursing Research Knowledge to Practice gap is about ___ years
17
78
What is another method of quality measurement used in hospitals?
HCAHPS and Press Ganey
79
HCAHPS
"Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems" It is a national survey required by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services at hospitals accepting those insurances It requires hospitals to send out pt satisfaction surveys and allow others to view hospitals and their pt satisfaction scores
80
Press Ganey
Private for profit organization that polls health care consumers to assess quality of care including HCAHPS in the survey Not all hospitals can afford them
81
What is the nursing role to improve care for patient populations
read widely and critically attend professional conferences insist on evidence that a procedure is effective become involved in a journal club pursue and participate in EBP projects ASSUME A STANCE OF SKEPTICISM
82
What are some barriers to EBP
1. Research Related Barriers (ex: Scarcity of published replications) 2. Nurse Related Barriers (ex: insuff skills in locating and appraising evidence, no love for research) 3. Organizational Barriers (ex: lack of financial support and staff release time for EBP, or funding)
83
What sort of ways are Nurse Related Barriers to EBP
lack of knowledge information overload lack of role models lack of time or money resistance to change misperception that you need an advanced degree to read and understand research disinterest when there is bedside care to be done
84
What are some ways/people that facilitate EBP
support from leaders and peers adequate time to do so resources journal clubs and EBP rounds
85
What is often required in order to address barriers and facilitate the implementation of EBP

95
19 yo Pre Med Student Problem
died within hours of getting bronchoscopy with 4x the amount of lidocaine received 150$ - coercive reward
96
Why is compensation balance important in research?
there needs to be enough to compensate but not enough to be seen as coercive
97

120
Certificate of Confidentiality (NIH)
a certificate obtained to prevent forced disclosure of confidential information to authorities
121
How do Debriefings and Referrals work for Research
Debriefings can be held following data collection so participants can ask questions or share concerns Researchers can demonstrate interest in participants by offering to share study findings with them after data is analyzed Also, researchers may assist participants by making referrals to appropriate health, social, or psychological services
122
Vulnerable Subjects
study participants that require special protections since they may be incapable of giving fully informed consent, may be high risk for unintended side effects, or are children who cannot make a truly informed decision about voluntary participation
123
Ethical aspects of a study are increasingly likely to have what happen before a study can be conducted
they will need to be reviewed and given permission by an external review for protection of human rights ex: human subjects committees, IRBs, research ethics boards
124
Tell whether the following statement is True or False. The Nuremberg Code was one of the first established sets of ethical standards.
True Rationale: One of the first international efforts to establish ethical standards was the Nuremberg Code. These ethical standards were developed in 1949 in response to the Nazi atrocities.
125
The principle of justice ensures a research subject’s right to: A - Self-determination B - Full disclosure C - Protection from harm D - Privacy
D -Privacy Rationale: The principle of justice ensures a research subject’s right to privacy and fair treatment. The right to self-determination and the right to full disclosure are ensured by the principle of respect for human dignity. The right to protection from harm is ensured by the principle of beneficence.
126
Tell whether the following statement is True or False. Children require special protection when they are involved in a research study.
True Rationale: Children, because of their inability to make a truly informed decision about voluntary participation in a research study, are considered vulnerable and thus require special protection.
127
Belmont Report created what and why was it created?
It was created due to the national research act of 1964 it made the 3 principles of ethical conduct - Justice, beneficence, and Autonomy
128
Ethical Dilemma
