My Topic is: WORKPLACE VIOLENCE
Hi Kim, I am required to write an Evidence-Based Paper. I figured I would try to clarify as much as possible about the direction of the paper. My first recommendation is for you to print out the grading rubric; the requirements are very specifically stated.
1. The idea behind this paper is to provide an introduction to evaluating research. So the first thing is to select a topic of interest (which I have done) which poses a nursing practice issue (My chosen topic of interest is: WORKPLACE VIOLENCE), and then you will utilize the PICOT to formulate your question (what you are proposing).
2. The next thing you will do is select relevant research articles that could help influence a practice change based on their findings. You might look through several articles to find the one that you find most fitting to address your question. For this paper, you will pick one article to evaluate. ***You will summarize the article (Include study design (quantitative/qualitative), number of subjects, data collection methods. You will briefly describe outcome(s) and study applications and/or conclusions.
3. For the next portion of the paper you will evaluate the validity of the research article.

1. The question is king! You will utilize the PICOT to formulate your question (what you are proposing).

Types of Studies
Quantitative Studies (think numbers and statistics)
The table lists frequently used quantitative study designs.
Quantitative Study Designs
Randomized Control Trial (RCT)
Subjects randomly assigned to one group that receives the new intervention or to another control group that receives the old intervention or none at all. Strongest design to assess efficacy of interventions and whether some factor is the direct cause of a certain outcome — questions of treatment and assessment.
Cohort study
Long-term monitoring of a group of at-risk subjects to see who develops a particular condition – questions of prognosis.
Case-Control Study
Analysis of population with a particular condition and population free of that condition to determine causative factors – questions of etiology.
Meta-Analysis
