NUR09122: Discussing how you would search for evidence and evaluating this selected evidence: Advancing Practice through Research Assignment, ENU, Singapore

Part 1: Discussing how you would search for evidence and evaluating this selected evidence

PART 2: Design a small pilot study, following the stages of the research process

PART 3: Discuss how you would disseminate the findings from your study and how implementation might occur.

Part 1 in more detail requires you to: Describe how you will locate relevant evidence for the chosen scenario (including keywords & database) Provide a clear systematic search strategy Retrieve relevant literature (minimum 6 articles) Evaluate the evidence based on the hierarchy of evidence Part 2 in more detail requires you to: Develop a research proposal based around the following areas:

1. Developing a research question

2. Determine research approach – you need to choose from one of the following:

Quantitative – experimental Quantitative – observational Qualitative

3. Determine Setting

4. Sampling method

5. Inclusion/exclusion criteria

6. Recruitment

7. Ethics

8.Data Collection

9. Data Analysis (you will not actually analyze data but you need to discuss how you might analyze the data if it was collected.)

*You must use literature to demonstrate you understand the research process and to justify the decisions you are making when planning your research.

Part 3 in more detail requires you to: •Consider how you would share your work (Dissemination Plan) and implement changes in practice •Write about what will help or hinder dissemination and implementation using evidence to support your writing.
