Week 2 Discussion

Research,
Practice Problems, and Questions

Purpose

This week’s
graded topics relate to the following Course Outcome (CO).

CO 2:Apply
research principles to the interpretation of the content of published research
studies. (PO 4 & 8)

CO 5:
Recognize the role of research findings in evidence-based practice. (PO 7 &
8)

The
Assignment

Professional
nurses rely on research findings to inform practice decisions; they use
critical thinking to apply research directly to specific patient care
situations.

Think about
an independent nursing practice problem you care passionately about and would
be interested in searching for evidence. *For the below questions,
medical/doctor/physician problems will not be used, for example, treatments
such as medications or diagnostics such as cardiac catherizations. Also, broad
practice problems such as staffing issues, workforce issues, or patient ratios
will not be used as this is an
organizational/system/political/administrative/multi-stakeholder problem which
nursing cannot solve independently.

Reflect on
nursing practice and describe a significant nursing clinical issue, topic of
interest, or practice problem that is important to you. Describe why you chose
the problem/topic.

Develop a
searchable, clinical question in the PICO(T) format for your nursing practice
problem. *To format your clinical question using PICO(T), use the NR439_Guide
for writing PICOT Questions and Examples found in your required reading or
access the following link:

List each
of your PICOT elements.

Share why
you care about this nursing practice problem and why you believe the problem
would benefit from finding the best evidence.

CO 2: Apply
research principles to the interpretation of the content of published research
studies. (PO 4 & 8)

CO 4:
Evaluate published nursing research for credibility and clinical significance
related to evidence-based practice. (PO 4 & 8)

one strategy that you learned that would help you create a strong literature
review/search for evidence. Share your thoughts on the importance of a thorough

Week 4 Discussion

Designs: A
Plan to Study for the Truth

Purpose

This week’s
graded topics relate to the following Course Outcomes (COs).

research principles to the interpretation of the content of published research
studies. (PO 4 & 8)

CO 4:
Evaluate published nursing research for credibility and significance related to
evidence-based practice. (PO 4 & 8)

The Assignment

This week
we learned how research designs are different and help us to objectively study
nursing problems; the key is to decide which type of research and design will
serve the purpose or intent to find a solution. After completing Week 4 readings
and lesson, answer the following:

Reflect on
your learning about Quantitative and Qualitative research; share two ways that
helped you understand how they are different.

Choose one
category of study design that you found interesting and describe; include what
you learned about the design and how you believe it can help study nursing
problems.

Refer back
to your clinical nursing priority problem and evidence you located for your
week 3 assignment:

• The
nursing-evidenced practice (NEBP) committee has requested for you to make a
recommendation to the team: Describe the type of research and the design that
you believe would be the best way to study your problem. Discuss your
rationale.
