Exploring Evidence for Improving Outcomes

Catalog description

In NUR 685 students build on knowledge and skills needed for evidenced- based practice (EBP) that were developed in baccalaureate programs. Students are introduced to theoretical frameworks and their relationship in developing evidence for practice. Students explore strategies and models for EBP, along with methods for motivating and implementing change. Students identify a clinical practice or system problem, critically evaluate relevant research literature, and synthesize various sources of evidence to address the identified problem. Ethics of research, quality improvement projects, and the importance of maintaining ethical standards in both research and practice are also explored. P: MHE 600 . NUR 683 .
