Evidence-Based Practice Inquiry

Researchers sought to identify and characterize subgroups based on client cancer survivors self-report and assessing of sociodemographics Evidence-Based Practice Inquiry

(N= total sample size

n= portion of sample size)

N= 292

(n= 123.42%)  had low unmet needs Evidence-Based Practice Inquiry
(n=46, 16%) physical unmet needs

(n=57, 20%) psychological unmet needs

(n=66, 23%) – both psychological and physical unmet needs

Two groups of clusters had p values of <0..05 for psychological and fatigue. These low p values are significant because this means the effect is likely real and not a result of other variables

(explain the definition of the research design) and

level of evidence

(Melnyk Figure 4.2, page 116)

Cross sectional assessment survey – this give type of study design give a snapshot at one particular time and measures the participants at one specific time – when they questionnaire/survey is completed

This would be  categorized under non-experimental study – we are not changing variables we are gathering data at a particular time or event

measurement

Sociodemographic variables included age, gender, race, marital status, employment, internet access, educational level, and income.

Clinical variables include cancer type, years since diagnosis, treatment, and comorbidities

(identify percentages or p values< 0.05)

Two groups of clusters had p values of <0..05 for psychological and fatigue. These low p values are significant because this means the effect is likely real and not a result of other variables

Younger the client the more unmet needs or need to meet needs to adjust to the cancer survivorship

Clients with higher comorbidities are likely being seen by a number of providers and have needs addressed

Questionnaire was in multi-language however culture can prevent a client from stating their needs at a particular time

This is a snapshot at one point in time at a cancer center

There are unmet needs that need screening every time at every provider appointment, including primary care, who likely get s the majority of clients in cancer survivorship

Weeks 3-4

Models to Guide Implementation and Sustainability of EBP

Models

Critically appraising the evidence

Review APA Chapters 1-8

Assignment:Chose a EBP model that aligns with your PICO(T)and Complete Research Model Worksheet

Instructions:After reading Chapter 14 in Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt. Review the following models and choose one that best fits your PICO(T), the organization where you work or where you would implement the PICO(T):

IOWA Model of EBP, John Hopkins Nursing Process for EBP,Stetler Model of EBP, Stevens Start Model, Clinical Scholar Model, PARIHS Elements and Sub-elements, and ARCC Model

Once you have chosen your EBP model complete the Research Model worksheet found in this module.  This will guide your EBP study based on your specific PICO(T) ( and will be included in your  Research Paper) Please complete this worksheet using APA 7th ed format .
