NR505 Advanced Research Methods:
Evidence-Based Practice
NR505 week 1 discussion
Write a quantitative research question using the PICO(T) model
about a health or safety issue observed in the Ironridge or Summerville
community or your practice setting.Conducta search of the literature for
the quantitative research question. (Remember you can use this topic and
quantitative research article as part of your Research Summary Table
assignment).Provide a brief summary of your quantitative research article.
You will not be able to see other’s
posts for this forum until you have posted your response to the threaded
discussion thread.
NR505 week 2 discussion
Review the differences in predictive
and prescriptive studies and select a predictive or prescriptive article that
you found in your literature search. What are the independent variables (IV),
dependent variables (DV), and mediating variables (MVs) that you find in the
article? How do determining IVs, DVs, and MVs help you discern the theory
tested in the research? In your particular article, what risk factors are
identified, or what recommendations are provided?
NR505 week 3 discussion
Plan a Qualitative Study (graded)
Write a qualitative research question using the PICO(T) model
using the P (population), I (abstract concept), O (outcome), and T (time) from
the PICO(T) model about an issue from your practice setting. Conduct a
search of the literature for a qualitative research article that would answer
your qualitative research question. What qualitative research design
(Phenomenology, Grounded Theory, Ethnography) did you select and why? Provide a
summary of the study. How will you make sure that the information you obtain is
trustworthy? How is trustworthiness in qualitative research similar and
different from reliability and validity?
NR505 week 4 discussion
What are the various types of
sampling, along with their advantages and disadvantages? As we think about
sampling and ethical practices, review these two documents on ethical issues in
research:
·
Tuskegee syphilis study
at.cdc.gov/tuskegee/”>http://www.cdc.gov/tuskegee/
·
An overview of questionable studies:
Resnik, D. (2012). Research ethics timeline (1932-present).
Retrieved
from.niehs.nih.gov/research/resources/bioethics/timeline/index.cfm”>http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/resources/bioethics/timeline/index.cfm
What are the implications of this
information with respect to the recruitment of human subjects in a study
related to your chosen issue?
NR505 week 5 discussion
Inferential Statistics (graded)
Complete a PICO(T) search on a topic
that pertains to your practice setting. Select one of the articles from your
search. Identify the descriptive statistics. Then describe the inferential
tests that were used in the article (in other words, t-tests and chi-squares).
Given the p-values related to the tests, how do you interpret the results? Are
they statistically significant, also clinically significant? What are the
recommendations based on this paper? Share some alternate explanations
(mediating or intervening variables) for the results of the study. If your
chosen study does not contain inferential tests, then choose a different
article that does contain inferential tests so you can participate in the
discussion.
NR505 week 6 discussion
Evidence-Based Models (graded)Read
the box above about Mr. Lowell and his facility. As an advanced practice nurse,
you will looking at various evidence based practice models and choosing two of
them to compare and contrast here. After you compare and contrast them, discuss
which one you would recommend to this facility and why? Remember to support
your posts with scholarly research in APA 6th ed format.
NR505 week 7 discussion
Quality, Safety, and Costs (graded)
Class, this week I would like for
you to think about a patient scenario related to our Summerville scenario. Mr.
Lowell is especially concerned about a costly high infection rate in surgical
patients at St. Louis Medical Center, along with a lack of concern about
patient’s psychological needs. He has read about the efforts of the QSEN
Institute (.org/”>http://qsen.org) to promote quality and safety. He was
surprised to see that patient concerns are inherent in the quality improvement
conversation. Place yourself in the role of nurse educator to help the new
staff education director and the clinical practice council study both problems.
How would you explain the relationships among quality, safety, and costs to the
director and staff? How would you demonstrate the importance of nursing care in
addressing this issue? What outcome variables would you recommend?
NR505 week 8 discussion
What specific skills and knowledge
that you gained through this course will be most important as you plan and
implement your practicum project? Describe a concrete way in which you
anticipate using these skills and knowledge.

(CO 2);
2.
2. Construct a summary table of four
peer-reviewedquantitative single original studies, indicating the
purpose, sample, design/level of evidence, findings, and limitations of each
(CO 3); and
3.
3. Summarize the findings of the
four studies as a whole (CO 3).
Preparing the Table
Conduct a PICO(T) search on the

Research Review
Critique of Systematic Research
Review (SRR)
Guidelineswith Scoring Rubric
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to
provide students with practice in identifying, reading, and critiquing
systematic research reviews related to nursing. A systematic review
is defined as “A summary of evidence, typically conducted by an expert or
expert panel on a particular topic, that uses a rigorous process (to minimize
bias) for identifying, appraising, and synthesizing studies to answer a
specific clinical question and draw conclusions about the data gathered
(Melnyk&Fineout-Overholt,2011, p.582).

will demonstrate the ability to
(CO 3) Synthesize for dissemination
the research findings from nursing and related disciplines. (PO 1, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 9, 11)
(CO 4) Compare and critique
quantitative and qualitative designs and methodologies for research studies.
(PO 4, 7, 9, 11)
Due Date:Sunday 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 5
Total Points Possible:175 Points

your practice setting.Describe the relevance of the nursingresearch
problem addressed in a SRR to practice. (CO 3, 6)
2.

6.
6. Utilize the Cochrane Database of
Systematic Reviews to locate a true SRR for this assignment.
7.
7. Paper length should be between
4-6 pages (not including cover page and reference page(s).
Preparing the paper
Consult your faculty member if you
are uncertain about whether your article is a true SRR. If it is not, your
grade will be affected because you will not be able to address all of the above
objectives.
Important: Submit a copy of the
systematic research review that you are critiquing as a separate document before
submitting your paper.This will help Turnitin from returning a high similarity
percentage on your written work. Remember to keep Turnitin similarity to 24% or
less or you will be deducted points on APA.

will demonstrate the ability to
(CO 3) Synthesize for dissemination
the research findings from nursing and related disciplines (POs 1, 3, 4, 5, 9);
and
(CO 6) Utilize the principles of
evidence-based practice to propose strategies that can address nursing issues
(POs 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9).
