DISCUSSION 1——-After completing this week’s readings and the Levels of Evidence Pyramid media presentation, you performed a search to find one scholarly, qualitative research study and one quantitative research study to support your discussion points.
In your initial post, for the one qualitative study and the one quantitative study you found:
- Cite and briefly summarize each study, including its design, methods, and results.
- Use the Levels of Evidence Pyramid to identify the grade or level of evidence that each of your studies represent.
- Discuss how each study you found does or does not provide an example of evidence that may be applied in EBP to improve a health care challenge.
In addition to the above, address the following question in your discussion:
- What other evidence might need to be integrated or synthesized, along with the research evidence found in either one of your studies, before the evidence can be implemented into practice to improve a health care challenge?
DISCUSSION 2——–As a leader in a health care organization, you will need to engage in evidence-based leadership, serve as a role model for evidence-based decision making, and implement interventions and initiatives to create and sustain an evidence-based organization. This discussion focuses on strategies to do so.
In your initial post:
- Describe interventions necessary to facilitate the behavioral change of staff and providers to create an evidence-based culture in an organization.
- Explain, based on the four leadership styles discussed in the textbook on pages 334–337, which style you think you might use to support evidence-based processes at your organization.
- Provide an example from your own role where you would have an opportunity to promote evidence-based decision-making.
DISCUSSION 3———This discussion focuses on ethical issues and safeguards to prevent them in EBP, Quality Improvement (QI), and research.
For your initial post, reflect on your own role (or future role) as a health care leader and your role as a doctoral learner as these relate to ethically appropriate activities:
- Discuss the difference between safeguards and strategies that may be employed in EBP, in QI, and in research to ensure that activities are ethically appropriate.
- Identify one area in your health care leadership role and one area in your current role as a doctoral learner in which potential ethical issues may arise.
- Answer these questions:
- As a health care professional, what strategies do or would you employ to ensure the ethical appropriateness of activities you undertake in your role?
- What strategies or safeguards will you employ to ensure the ethical appropriateness of your own doctoral project
