2. Explain the research process and the links between research, clinical expertise, patientpreferences and evidence-based practice.3. Define, compare and choose common and appropriate research methodologies, designs andmethods to generate evidence and answer specific research questions.4. Assess and justify the strengths and weaknesses of a published paper, and its relevance toclinical practice.5. Apply key principles and elements in the evidence-based practice process to make andcommunicate safe, effective, and efficient clinical decisions for selected client or contextproblems

Research (Project)Brief taskdescriptionYou are to respond to the assessment task by writing an essay addressing concepts in evidence-basedpractice and clinical inquiry.Rationale forassessment taskIndividuals have a right to effective, efficient, and safe care. Contemporary healthcare practice requiresthe use of evidence to improve health outcomes for individuals, families, and populations. It is importantfor healthcare students to understand the relationship between the generation of research evidence andthe delivery of safe and effective care based on evidence. Knowledge and skills in evidence-based practice(EBP) is therefore critical to practicing healthcare professionals.Due Date May 7th, 2024, by 11:59PM AEST (23:59hrs)Assessment Items submitted after the published due date without an approved extension or submittedafter the revised due date where an extension has been granted, will incur a penalty of 5% of the Markawarded to the Student, per Calendar Day late (https://policy.usq.edu.au/documents/14749PL).Length 1500 words +/-10%• Introduction and conclusion section required.• Word count includes in-text referencing and excludes your reference list and table of includedstudies.• No appendices or title pages required.Marks out of:Weighting:Marks out of: 40Weighting: 40%Course Objectivesmeasured2.

Which of the following is the third step in the process of hypothesis testing? Assessment of evidence Choosing a sample and collecting data Stating the claims Conclusion

In this unit, the various ways to put evidence into practice is presented. One way to guide this process is the use of the Iowa model, which focuses on justifying and implementing a change in clinical practice.Pick a clinical practice change you would like to see in your workplace and apply the Iowa Model steps to this change. Assume the topic is a priority and there is an adequate research base.Include the following in your discussion post:Specify and describe the outcome to be achieved based on the clinical practice change you selected.Provide details on how you would evaluate the effectiveness of the change.Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references.
