For this week’s assignment, the task has been to read to two types of Evidence Based Practice Research articles: qualitative, quantitative or mixed. A qualitative article is one that via narrative data, investigates and describes a phenomena. While a quantitative article is one that collects and analyzes raw data via precise measurements. Articles were found in a professional organization’s journal that were qualitative and quantitative, Blais & Hayes (2016). Below you will read an overview of these 2 article and a comparative or these 2 type of research to include which this writer prefers. Quantitative Article In the research call, “Understanding the Experience of Miscarriage in the Emergency Department” the study sought to gather data regarding women’s experiences after having had a miscarriage and receive care for this in the emergency department (ED). The study gather participants whom had received treatment for miscarriage at one of three local hospitals via letters after discharge, emails, and …show more content…
However, the 88% of precision in the discharge rate suggests an additional area for improvement. There is a potential for interventions to discharge and treat rapidly lower acuity patients, Alexander, et al.,(2016). Conclusion For the two articles read, this writer felt that both articles were easy to understand due to the studies both being fairly short. The qualitative article was more in depth, requiring more concentration to understand the common themes the women expressed. It expressed an emotional factor while the quantitative article was strictly facts and data. This write appreciates facts and data mostly, thus would choose a quantitative method of research. They are concise, the sampling size can be larger and the limitations to human subjectivity usually are less. It is believed that the accuracy of the study is greater and more
The following ssion of this assignment attempts to critically appraise the venUS III randomised control trial (RTC) published in the British Medical Journal.
Evidence-based practice is extremely important in health care. It is not only important to know how to perform a certain skill, but why it should be done. There needs to be a standard of care and providers need to know the best way of doing things based on evidence. The article mentions that in the 20th century, many medial decisions were made on doctor assessment and preference (Brower, 2017). Many physicians were practicing dramatically different when compared with one another, which led to the realization that changes needed to be made and Evidence-based practice began to develop. Even though Evidence-based practices have been in play for a while, there is a gap between understanding and applying evidence-based
Within this essay Evidence based Practice will be identified and the significant effect it has on the nursing profession, barriers will also be explored in the implementation of Evidence Based Practice.

Is there a Literature Review? What kind of information is found in this section? How current is and
Evidence based practice and applied nursing research encompasses selecting a perioperative procedure such as routine shaving of a surgical site which is something you would commonly find on a surgical floor.
-Evidence-based practice is not simply about searching for the 'right'answer. There is rarely one 'right' answer to any of the problems that children and their families, or health, education or social workers face. We need to understand the options available and, with children and young people or their carers, choose the course of action most likely to lead to a good outcome. Evidence-based practice involves a number of skills and the development of a process whereby new evidence can be found, assessed and applied to the provision of services to populations and the care of individual children and their families. -Children and families have the right to services based on the best available evidence.
The barriers to the implementation of the evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing could occur either at the individual level or the organizational level. The individual level barriers include a lack of time and skill to work with the computer, age, level of education and the professional experience of the employees. (Khammarnia, Haj Mohammadi, Amani, Rezaeian, & Setoodehzadeh). Some people do not believe in this new approach, and they have a negative attitude towards research and EBP. It is hard for them to accept that the outcomes of EBP are better compared to the traditional methods. So they will continue to exert their pressure to follow the old practice. People think, it may take a lot of time to access the critical information from the
Evidence-Based Practice plays a crucial role in high quality nursing care. The purpose of “Use, Knowledge, and Attitudes toward Evidence-Based Practice Among Nursing staff” study was to figure out how the nurses use Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in everyday care and what barriers are causing a decreased use. The main point is that even the nurses who strongly believe that EBP does improve clinical care and patients’ outcomes often still do not utilize it. Furthermore, the same participants showed a lack of understanding of EBP. This is a first study for looking at the specific scales to compare with.
Drawing on a range of evidence discuss how different types of research can be used to support practice.
Emergency department (ED) over-crowding is an ever growing issue. Although the reasons for ED overcrowding are complex and caused by many different types of issues, a potential solution can be the application of the nursing theory, Health Promotion, for parents and caregivers of children with acute gastroenteritis (AGE). The purpose of this paper is to apply the Health Promotion Model (HPM), by Nola Pender, to assist nurses to understand the major determinants of health behaviors to promote healthy lifestyles. Therefore providing education and health promotion strategies to parents and caregivers about AGE. Using properties of the assumptions and assertions of the HPM, can assist to educate parents and caregivers and in turn lighten the over-crowding issues emergency departments face today (Sakraida, 2014).
Evidenced Based Practice (EBP) is essential to enable all nurses to provide the most current up to date practises for their patients. This process involves research, systematic review of current practises, critical thinking skills, evaluation and application to the clinical setting. In addition to this, the nurse must take into account the patients’ preferences. For nurses to have professional autonomy they must be able to justify their actions and demonstrate an understanding of why they perform the tasks they do. This defines them as unique professionals judged by their knowledge and not simply by their hands on skills.

If I had found either of the articles, I would have known they were qualitative first and foremost because of the absence of mind boggling statistics. In the ethnography
