Assignment: Data Results and Analysis
Week 6 discussion Data Results and Analysis After the data are collected, it is time to analyze the results! Discuss one of the four basic rules for understanding results in a research study. Compare clinical significance and statistical significance. Which one is more meaningful when considering applying evidence to your practice? Compare descriptive statistics and inferential statistics in research. Please give an example of each type that could be collected in a study that would be done on your nursing clinical issue you identified in previous weeks. Week 7 discussion Applying and Sharing Evidence to Practice After the data have been analyzed, conclusions are made regarding what the findings mean. Then, this information must be shared with your healthcare team. Choose one of the articles from the Week 5 RRL assignment, and discuss the findings. Would you apply the evidence found to your practice? Explain your answer. Translating research into practice is the final and most important step in the research process. Review information you found your nursing clinical issue and explain ways in which you would share the research-based evidence with your peers. Week 8 discussion Where Do You Go From Here? Improving patient outcomes is paramount to healthcare improvement today. How has your thinking changed about nursing research and evidence- based practice as the result of this course? Will the information you learned during this course be helpful in your nursing role today?

Example 1: What is the PICO(T) question? Will influenza immunization compliancy rates increase if flu clinics are provided in a Flu PODS and immunization clinics at convenient times covering all shifts? Define each element of the question below: P- (Patient, population, or problem): Hospital employees and volunteers required to have the influenza immunization annually I -(Intervention): Offer multiple Flu “PODS” and immunization clinics to hospital employees and volunteers making it convenient to receive the required immunization. Offer at a variety of times, available to all shifts C- (Comparison with other treatment/current practice): Compare analytics showing employees and volunteers who received flu shot prior to 2016 when Flu PODS and immunization clinics were not offered compared to 2016 where Flu PODS and immunization clinics are offered to accommodate shifts. Track number of employees/volunteers coming at each hour time frame. O- (Desired outcome): Increase of compliance of receiving the annual mandatory flu shot by employees and volunteers Example 2: What is the PICO(T) question? For non-diabetic patients on corticosteroid therapy, does monitoring for headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision hourly vs. no observations for signs of hyperglycemia promote improvement of pulmonary complications? Define each element of the question below: P- (Patient, population, or problem): Non-diabetic patients on corticosteroid therapy. I- (Intervention): Monitoring for headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision C- (Comparison with other treatment/current practice): No observations for signs of hyperglycemia O- (Desired outcome): Improvement of pulmonary complications T-(Time): 90 days
