Evaluate effectiveness of interventions on decreasing medication errors in health care settings

Question description

Tying it All Together

Once a nursing researcher or nursing professional has conducted analyses on their collected data, what can they conclude about their research and research question?

The last and final phase of the research process involves drawing conclusions about research findings as well as tying them into meaningful solutions for clinical nursing practice. How might a nursing researcher or nursing professional relate their research findings to solutions for improved quality of care and patient safety? How might drawing certain conclusions from research findings impact your health care setting?

This week, you will examine two content areas.

PART I: Drawing Conclusions About Research Findings and Their Implications for Clinical Practice

PART I focuses on the last phase of the research process, namely drawing conclusions about the findings and discussing their implications for clinical practice. You will examine how the findings contribute to clinical practice and how the findings might add to new knowledge and the existing literature on a topic. You will consider how the characteristics of well-written conclusions and implications, including consideration of the study’s limitations, recommendations for future research, and variation in the quality of presenting these areas in published research may impact nursing practice.

PART II: The Value of Research in Evidence-Based Practice and Translational Science

PART II focuses on what has been explored about the value of quantitative and qualitative research in evidence-based practice and translational science in nursing.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

Evaluate how evidence-based practice will improve patient quality and safety

Evaluate the importance of the interpretation, conclusion, and clinical implications of clinical research articles in evidence-based practice
