Research, EBP, & QI
This is used to generate new knowledge:
What is research?
This is what the "C" stands for in the PICOT framework:
What is comparison?
This type of research includes numerical data, like statistics and graphs:
What is Quantitative Research?
Selecting specific people for the sample is best. True or false?
...and why?
A theoretical framework uses this:
What is a previous theory?
This is used to improve processes in a specific setting:
What is quality improvement?
A PICOT question provides a pathway for research studies, true or false:
... and why?
What is false? A PICOT question helps to guide the search for evidence.
This type of research is preferred for patient experiences:
What is qualitative research?
The p-value tells us this:
What is statistical significance?
This is the Boolean operator to broaden the search:
What is OR?
These are the components of the evidence-based practice triangle:
What is best evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences?
This is an appropriate research database:
What is CINHAL, PubMed, etc.?
This type of research uses narrative data, like interviews:
What is Qualitative Research?
This is the variable that is the intervention:
What is the independent variable?
This is the font formatting for APA format:
What is 12 pt Times New Roman font and double spacing?
This is the framework for quality improvement:
What is Plan, Do, Study, and Act?
This is the intervention and timeframe for the PICOT question below:
In nurses on a medical-surgical floor, does an inservice education session on pain assessments and documentation compared online self-paced training modules affect nursing knowledge levels on pain assessments within three months?
What are in-service education sessions on pain assessments and three months?
This type of research is preferred for a study on fall rates and bed alarms:
What is Quantitative Research?
Validity refers to the consistency, true or false?
...and why?
What is false, reliability refers to the consistency?
This step comes after creating a PICOT question:
What is an evidence/database search?
This is one barrier for EBP and one solution:
Ex. What is lack of education and implementation of education on EBP use?
These are the 5 components of the PICOT framework:
What are Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Timeframe?
A qualitative study needs these 4 things:
What are Confirmability, Credibility, Dependability, and Transferability?
This is the gold standard for evidence levels:
What are systematic reviews or meta-analysis of randomized-controlled trials?
This is the difference between the population and sample:
What is the entire group of people you want to study and the subset of the group that is chosen for the study?
