Rlt2 Task 1

What did you learn in the first five weeks of the course that surprised you and changed the way you think about nursing research and EBP?

How to explore the different ways of differentiating evidence-based nursing practice and the usefulness of the process for providing the practices in the framework of evidence-based practice and nursing research studies. The most surprising information in this first five weeks is learning how to assess the theoretical- abstract components, designs in quantitative research, various methods for data collection in quantitative studies, PICO of nursing research studies and its meaning: patient, intervention, comparison and outcome. (Polit & Beck, 2014)

The major components that has changed my views is doing the

nursing quantitative research paper, learning how to understand the new techniques of breaking the information apart, recognizing the required interventions and knowing where to find information, the connections of the topic’s, the hypotheses of the research, and the use of the meaning of keywords for researching such as, how journals, internet, textbook’s and the primary resources will provide certain resources. (Polit & Beck, 2014)
What concepts are still a little muddy and need to be clarified?
Things that still need to be clarified; quantitative, sampling, and data collection concepts need for research designs, such as using these, learning how to apply the characteristics use of designs in your research.

The pretest-posttest design, crossover design, placebo, quasi-experiments (lack randomization but involve intervention and is usually found to be more acceptable to a broader group of people who are not always willing to be randomized in clinical trials). The RCT study known as the “gold standard” (for interventional studies, controlled and randomized for comparing a controlled and interventional group variable) and The Cohort (prospective) design research (analysis or the observational design with cohort, it starts with a recognized cause and then goes forward to the recognized effect). The clarification of the outcomes of the statistical analysis in quantitative research, understanding the research practice and the identification of the basis of evidence-based practice contained by the sections of research and critiques of that research. By graining an understanding of these steps and knowing how to rethink research and revise my views of the research will aid in success of my practicing these tactics (Polit, & Beck,

2014)
What has inspired you and piqued your interest for the second half of the course?
My transformations in practicing these tactics, such as learning how to find the results, where to obtain the material, how to analyze the study of data content and by learning how to effectively find all the results. Graining this understanding of the steps and knowing how to rethink, to refine key words and to revise my views of research will aid in success of clinical patient care. (Polit, & Beck, 2014)
Piqued my interest or curiosity; Understanding the source of the researcher’s inspiration is the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative: (Webster-Merriam, 2016). All clinical problem-solving process and its creativeness comes from precise material, seeking significant symbols to confirm or disprove working conclusions of investigations. The essentials of Nursing research states: those crucial steps: “ask, search, collect evidence, evaluating, manufacturing evidence, incorporating patients’ needs and assessing the success of the decisions”. (Polit, & Beck, 2014)
