Think of a frustrating experience you have had as a health care worker (student or otherwise). Identify the problem area and write down the research problems that correspond to your experience
Your Research Agenda
Think of a frustrating experience you have had as a health care worker (student or otherwise). Identify the problem area and write down the research problems that correspond to your experience. Ask yourself a series of questions until you generate one that you feel is researchable. Evaluate the problem using established criteria for what constitutes a researchable problem. What is the purpose of your research? Identify any hypotheses that lead from this problem identification.
DQ2 Annotated Bibliography
Perform a Web search on ‘annotated bibliography.’ Compare and contrast a literature review with an annotated bibliography. Which is more applicable to nursing research/evidence-based practice and why? What is the ultimate goal of each strategy?

After completing the lesson for this module, choose the three questions you feel are most important for the nurse to ask as s/he critically appraises nursing research for practice. Support your choice
DQ2 Objectivity
When critiquing a nursing research study, what are some ways in which the reader can strive for objectivity? How can this objectivity be supported and demonstrated? Explain why objectivity is essential in preparing a valid critique.

Week 3 Discussion
DQ1 Conceptual Framework
Read the attached Allen et al. (2012) article and post the answer to these questions.
Allen, D., Ploeg, J., & Kaasalainen, S. (2012). The relationship between emotional intelligence and clinical teaching effectiveness in nursing faculty. Journal of Professional Nursing, 28(4), 231-240.
What are the two concepts that were studied?
For each concept, what is the variable?
DQ2 Ethnonursing
Ethnonursing is the ethnographic approach applied to nursing science. Its development is associated with M.M. Leininger and her desire to generate substantive transcultural nursing knowledge. After exploring this linkLinks to an external site., explain the importance of ethnonursing to everyday nursing practice.

Week 4 Discussion
DQ1 Operational or Conceptual
Differentiate between an operational definition and a conceptual definition. Explain why you agree or disagree that each research variable should be defined both ways.
DQ2 Types of Data Analysis
Go to the Internet and search for “types of data analysis.” Compare the information found on these sites to the text. Choose two web sites that help you by organizing information about data analysis. Bookmark those two sites and share them with the class by posting in this forum. Be sure to explain why you chose those sites.

Week 5 Discussion
DQ1 Ethical Concerns in Internet Research
With the increased use of the Internet for nursing research, new ethical concerns have arisen. Describe two of them.
DQ2 Does Code Equal Action?
Can adherence to a code of ethics alone protect human subjects in biomedical research? Do institutional review boards (IRBs) always protect human subjects? Why or why not? Please list a simple example.

Week 6 Discussion
DQ1 Nominal Ordinal Interval Ratio Statistics Search
Conduct a Web search on this phrase: “nominal ordinal interval ratio statistics.” Identify two Web sites that give good information (as compared to your textbook) on statistics that are appropriate for each of the four main levels of measurement. List those websites on the discussion board and describe them. Then, compare the Web sites you chose with a classmate. Who chose the ‘better’ sites?
DQ2 Reliability
Observation can be a subjective form of measurement. The Liaw et al. (2009) study is attached below. To overcome the potential for error, Liaw et al. developed a protocol for the observations of nurses’ care-giving activities with preterm infants. Identify at least four things that the researchers did to strengthen the reliability of the observational measurements.

Week 7 Discussion
DQ1 PICO EBP
Conduct a Web search on ‘PICO EBP.’ In your discussion posting compare/contrast two websites that discuss the use of PICO for formulating evidence-based practice projects.
DQ2 Roles in Research
Compare and contrast outcomes research, research utilization, and evidence-based practice. How is each type of research used? What are some ways to promote research utilization? Explain the nurse’s role and the organization’s role in utilizing research.

Week 2 Assignment
PICO Question
As a group, select a topic that you will use for your final project, and develop a PICO question regarding this problem. To develop this clinical question, you will choose a topic of interest based on clinical problems in your clinical practice. You will then use the PICO method of question development as a guide.
P—Patient/population/problem
I—Intervention
C—Comparison (to another intervention/no intervention)
O—Outcomes
Note that while you are to develop your PICO question as a group, each individual must submit a copy. Make sure to include the names of your group members in your submission.

Week 4 Assignment
Article Summary
After you developed a PICO question in Week 2, you were to find 9-12 articles related to that topic. As a group, assess these articles for their clinical applicability and develop a table summarizing the studies. Analyze whether the literature supports changing practice. Click below to view the downloadable template used to summarize articles:
Final Evidence-Based Project Article Summary Template
Download this template, complete it, and upload for submission. As you work as a group, it might might be a good idea to paste the template into a Collaborations document to make edits, then copy it back over to a Word file for submission. Content – These questions should be addressed on the first page of your document, followed by the template. You will also have a title page with your group members’ names. You will submit this assignment during Week 8. Citations are to be in APA Format.
What process did you use to choose this topic? (5 points)
What is your PICO question? (5 points)
What strategies did you use to access the relevant literature? (10 points)

Week 5 Assignment
Tuskegee Syphilis Case Study
Identify the consequences to the study participants because of the lack of ethical practices on the part of the researcher. Answer the following questions (Make sure you follow the grading rubric) This should be a well thought out reflection with citations and references. Do not just answer the questions. It should be a 5 – 6 page paper in APA format:
Eunice Rivers, the African-American nurse who played a vital role by befriending the Tuskegee Study participants and assuring their cooperation has justified her support for the project in terms of the fact that the attention that she and the other medical staff gave to the men was more than a non-enrolled, poor, Macon County resident was likely to receive. If you had been in her place, do you think you would have come to the same conclusion with regard to the ethical choices available to you?
In what sense were the premises and the practices of the Tuskegee study racist? An important question to explore when examining accusations of human rights violations or of prejudicial behavior is whether the standards being applied are those of the time the action took place, and if not, whether this should affect any judgment about the ethics of the situation. (Conforming to official social standards does not necessarily imply that you are behaving in an ethical manner. Most people would consider the medical experiments of the Nazi Doctors to be unethical even though they conformed to the principles spelled out in the Nazi ideology imposed on Germany by the Third Reich.)
