Components of EBP
This systematic approach to healthcare decision-making improves outcomes by combining the best available research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values.
What is the approach commonly known as?
What is Evidence-Based Practice?
What is the hierarchy of levels of evidence in evidence-based practice that ranges from high to low, reflecting the strength of research supporting interventions or treatments?
What are the Levels of Evidence in Evidence-Based Practice?
A method to structure and help formulate a research a well-defined searchable question is through the PICO format.
True or False?
What is True?
What application to Occupational Therapy EBP is considered as "care crucial to intervention choices"?
What is client-centered?
This type of research design is often considered the gold standard in scientific evidence. It involves randomly assigning participants to groups to test the efficacy of interventions.
What is this research design called?
What is a randomized controlled trial (RCT)?
What is the level of evidence that includes insights from experts and detailed reports of individual cases, typically regarded as the lowest level of evidence?
What are Respective opinions and expert discussions?
Level VI
What does the "P" in the Pico format mean in evidence-based practice?
What is a patient, population, or problem being considered?
Under Levels of Evidence, Level V is a nonexperimental study that lacks the manipulation of an independent variable.
True or False?
What is False?
Level V from the levels of evidence is observational studies that provide information about the naturally occurring health status, behavior, attitudes or other characteristics of a particular group.
This aspect of Evidence-Based Practice involves incorporating patients' unique beliefs, cultural backgrounds, and personal goals into healthcare decisions.
What are patient values and Preferences?
What type of study involves randomly assigning participants to intervention or control groups to assess the effects of an intervention?
What are randomized controlled trials (RCTs)?
Level II
What does the "I" in the Pico format mean in evidence-based practice?
What is Intervention or assessment?
What are comprehensive summaries of multiple studies that provide high-quality evidence by pooling data from various research efforts?
What are Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses?
This component highlights the significance of a clinician's experience, education, and skills in interpreting research, making informed decisions, and providing patient care.
What is Clinical Expertise?
What type of observational study tracks a group over time to examine the impact of specific exposures on outcomes?
What are Descriptive Studies?
Level V
The "C" in the PICO Format is always included when utilizing Quantitative and Qualitative research.
True or False?
What is False?
The "C," which stands for "Comparison Intervention," is not always included in Quantitative and Qualitative research
The Foundations of Evidence-Based Medicine was first introduced in the 1980's.
True or False?
True
This component of EBP emphasizes the need to consider each patient's unique beliefs, cultural backgrounds, and personal goals when making healthcare decisions.
What are Patient Values and Preferences?
This type of study design, often considered level 3 evidence, involves comparing outcomes in groups that are not randomly assigned. It is commonly used to assess the effectiveness of interventions in real-world settings.
What are non-randomized controlled trials?
Level III
What does the "O" in the Pico format mean in evidence-based practice?
What is an Outcome of Interest?
What was the primary reason social, political, and economic factors led to the emergence of EBP and EBOT?
What are rising healthcare costs?
