Define EBP - ✔✔an approach to decision-making that uses the best evidence available in conjunction
with client choices to decide on an option (course of action)
What is knowledge? - ✔✔a collection of ideas and facts about a topic
What is evidence? - ✔✔information that makes a conclusion of a set of facts more apparent - with more
evidence comes more knowledge
List the 5 Steps of EBP - ✔✔1. posing a clinical question (i.e.: constructing a P.I.C.O question)
2. Searching for the evidence
3. Appraising the literature
4. Making a decision
5. Assessing the effectiveness of an intervention and one's proficiency with the EBP process itself.
Postpositivism - ✔✔the post positivist worldview is a term synonymous to what we have traditionally
called the scientific method. Comes after positivism or when the research believed that the absolute
truth of knowledge was [soley] determined by empirical science (this worldview commonly underpins
quantitative research designs)
Constructivism - ✔✔the constructivist worldview believes that knowledge is more complex than that
which can simply believed to be reduced to facts
interpretatavism is a term often associated with this world view, believing that knowledge is inclusive of
'making-meaning' rather than solely based on a scientific explanation (commonly underpins qualitative
research designs)
, Pragmatism - ✔✔the pragmatist worldview believes that knowledge is derived from the analysis of
actions, situations, and consequences rather than the sole examination of conditions (this worldview
commonly under pins mixed-methods research designs)
Transformative - ✔✔seeks too create knowledge beyond imposed structural laws and theories; seeks to
understand how politics and social oppression can lead to issues of discrimination, oppression, and
injustices (underpins qualitative and mixed methods research designs)
Quantitative research - ✔✔involves true experiments; this approach can include some less rigorous
designs called quasi-experiments, and applied behavior analysis or single-subject experiments
Qualitative research - ✔✔involves (but is not limited to) the procedures of grounded theories,
ethnography, phenomenology, narrative research, and even case studies
Mixed Methods - ✔✔involves combining or integrating quantitative and qualitative research and data
into a single research study
Level 1 Evidence - ✔✔systematic reviews of random control trials (RCTs) -highest internal validity due to
randomizations
Level 2 Evidence - ✔✔systematic reviews of cohort studies
-little bias because the subjects are identified prior to outcome - randomization is lost
Level 3 Evidence - ✔✔Systematic reviews and case control studies
-bias can be present; subjects are pre-selected therefore internal threat can be evident
Level 4 Evidence - ✔✔Case series and case control studies
-comparison b/w groups is lost at this level; outcomes are particular to a single group
Level 5 Evidence - ✔✔Expert opinion without explicit critical appraisal
-lowest level of evidence
