A comprehensive guide to research for evidence-based practice (ebp) in nursing. It covers key concepts, steps, models, barriers, and strategies for implementing ebp. The document also explores different types of research, including descriptive, explanatory, exploratory, basic, applied, quantitative, and qualitative research. It further delves into the ethical considerations of research, including informed consent, institutional review boards (irb), and the belmont report. The document concludes with a discussion of research utilization, innovation, and the importance of collaboration in ebp.

(Starts with a trigger) Has 5 steps:
-Time -Research not valued -Lack of knowledge about EBP and Research -Lack of skills to find research -Lack of resources to access research -Lack of skills to read research -Resistance to change -Organization does not embrace EBP Overcoming Barriers to EBP: Organizational Strategies -Understand change -Become a change agent
aka "Bench Research" Types of Research: Applied Research to gain knowledge to be used in practical/clinical settings; Research to discover knowledge that will solve a clinical problem Types of Research: Quantitative concerned with objectivity, tight controls, ability to generalize findings, measurable (empirical evidence); Research that uses numbers to obtain precise measurements Types of Research: Qualitative concerned with subjective meaning of an experience to an individual; Research that uses words to describe human behaviors; i.e. focus groups, human experiences Sections of a Research Report (8 Parts) Abstract Introduction Review of Literature Theoretical Framework
Thinking that moves from the particular to the general; Used in Qualitative Research Parts of a Research Article: Abstract The first section of a research article that provides an overview of the study Parts of a Research Article: Introduction Part of a research article that states the problem and purpose Parts of a Research Article: Review of Literature An unbiased comprehensive, synthesized description of relevant previously published studies related to topic of interest; does not consider all available evidence, only the keywords searched Parts of a Research Article: Theoretical Framework The structure of study that links theory concepts to the study variables; a section of a research article that describes the study design, sample, and data collection Parts of a Research Article: Methods
Major section/portion of a research article that describes the study design, sample, and data collection Parts of a Research Article: Results Data Analysis; Component of a research article that reports the methods used to analyze data and characteristics of the sample Parts of a Research Article: Discussion Part of a research article where interpretation of the results and how the findings extend the current body of knowledge are discussed; Interprets results & how they got those findings Parts of a Research Article: References Publication information for each article cited in a research report (in APA format) Early Adopters Individuals who are the first to embrace an innovation Laggards
Individual Nurse Level (5 Levels of Collaboration) Practice changes that can be implemented by an individual nurse Organizational Level (5 Levels of Collaboration) When nurses in an organization effect practice changes; EBP committees, implement EBP protocol Regional Level (5 Levels of Collaboration) When nurses from a large geographic area collaborate to change National Level (5 Levels of Collaboration) Collaboration among nurses throughout the country to effect practice changes; AHRQ, NGC, AWHONN, AACN, NINR International Level (5 Levels of Collaboration)
Changes that result from collaboration among nurses from different countries; The Cochrane Collaboration, Sigma Thta Tau International, The Joanna Briggs Institute Human Rights Freedoms to which all humans are entitled; often includes the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and expression, and quality before law Obligations Requirements to act in particular ways; Nurses are obligated to protect the rights of participants Declaration of Helsinki An international standard providing physician guidelines for conducting biomedical research Informed Concent An ethical practice requiring researchers to obtain voluntary participation by subjects after subjects have been informed of possible risks and benefits Institutional Review Boards (IRB)
Justice (Belmont Report) The principle of equity or fairness in the distribution of burdens and benefits IRB Full Review A type of review that requires all members of the board to participate; an IRB conducts a full review if there is potential risk to human subjects IRB Expedited Review A type of review that can occur quickly; an IRB conducts an expedited review if there is minimal risk to human subjects IRB Exempt Certain studies may be low enough risk not to require consent from individuals (usually don't involve human subjects) IRB Minimal Risk The probability and magnitude of harm from participating in research study are not greater than those encountered in daily life A Research Problem
An area of concern when there is a gap in knowledge that requires a solution that can be described, explained, or predicted to improve nursing practice What is the aim of a research problem? To improve nursing practice by identifying an area of concern when there is a gap in knowledge that requires a solution; identified through personal experience, professional literature, previous research that revealed gaps, current nursing theories, national initiatives Case Study A description of a single or novel event; a unique methodology used in qualitative research that may also be considered a design or strategy for data collection Generalize Applying from a sample to a wider poplation Systematic Reviews A rigorous and systematic synthesis of research findings about a clinical problem Problem Statement A formal statement describing the problem addressed in the study
Causal Relationship When one variable determines the presence or change in another variable Simple Hypothesis A hypothesis describing the relationship among two variables Complex Hypothesis A hypothesis describing the relationships among three or more variables (multi- variant) Directional Hypothesis Statement describing the direction of a relationship among two or more variables Null Hypothesis A hypothesis stating that there is no relationship between the variables; the statistical hypothesis Statistical Hypothesis
A hypothesis stating that there is no relationship among the variables; the null hypothesis Research Hypothesis A hypothesis indicating that a relationship among two or more variables exists Independent Variable Variable that influences the dependent variable or outcome; intervention or treatment that is manipulated by the researcher Dependent Variable Outcome or variable that is influenced by the independent variable Confounding/Extraneous Variables Factors that interfere with the relationship between the independent and dependent variables PICOT Model A model in EBP used to formulate EBP questions
Secondary Sources Commentaries, summaries, reviews, or interpretations of primary sources; often written by those not involved in the original work Meta-Analysis A scholarly paper that combines results of studies, both published and unpublished, into a measurable format and statistically estimates the effects of proposed interventions Theory A set of concepts linked through propositions to explain a phenomenon Concepts Words or phrases that convey a unique idea that is relevant to a theory Conceptual Definitions Definitions of concepts contained in a theory that sound like dictionary definitions; i.e. "love," "pain," anything that can't be quantified or measured
Operational Definitions Definitions that explicitly state how the variable will be measured or operationalized; empirical definitions Causality The relationship between a cause and its effect Probability Likelihood or chance that an event will occur in a situation; how likely it is that the change in the DV was caused by the IV Control Ability to manipulate, regulate, or statistically adjust for factors that can affect the dependent variable Manipulation The ability of researchers to control the independent variable Extraneous Variable
