Evidence based practice

Overview of Research

Paradigms; Evidence

for Practice

Please write responses to each of the questions (1a., 2a., 3a., and 3b.) listed

below for Module 4 Discussion Board:

1.

Chapter 2 in Polit and Beck (2020) examines using research as evidence for

personal practice and for changing practice in specific settings using evidence

based practice (EBP) models. Think about barriers that are associa

ted with

implementation of EBP either

individually or at a unit /systems level.

Please

discuss the following question.

1 a.) What is one barrier that you have encountered or anticipate may occur with the

implementation of EBP and what are some solutions to

overcome that barrier?

2.

Chapter 1 and 3 in Polit and Beck (2020) include information about the

differences and similarities between quantitative and qualitative research

methods. Consider the information about differences and similarities between

quantitat

ive and qualitative research methods and discuss the following

question.

2 a.) Think about the positivist versus constructivist paradigm. From which perspective

(positivist or constructivist paradigm) do you view the world? Explain why. How could

the persp

ective (positivist or constructivist paradigm) in which you view the world

influence your research in your practice setting?

3.

As you review Chapter 7 in Polit and Beck (2020), particularly Box 7.3, the

known aspects of Institutional Review Board (IRB) and s

afeguarding

participants are included. Please discuss the following questions.

3 a.) When reading research, prior to taking this course, were you able to get a sense of

the ethical aspects of the research?

Explain.

3 b.) After reviewing Chapter 7 in Polit

and Beck (2020), speak to how, when reading a

research study, you will now be more aware of thinking about 1) vulnerable groups

inclusion as well as 2) which groups were omitted with or without a justifiable rationale

being included.
