This course builds upon undergraduate research methods and advanced statistics by emphasizing biostatistics and epidemiological data used to measure clinical outcomes as well as the significant role of research to improve clinical outcomes in healthcare. Research studies representing a variety of designs will be examined for applicability to improve nursing practice and clinical outcomes. Students will explore, integrate, and apply the skills needed to implement evidence-based practice. Students will develop skill analyzing clinical research findings including evidence from systematic reviews, metaanalysis or evidence obtained from random controlled trials, well-designed case control and cohort studies, and systematic reviews of descriptive and qualitative studies. Expert use of information technology and search strategies will empower students to answer appropriate clinical questions. In collaboration with their advisor, students will formulate a project for clinical, practice or educational change based on best evidence and will present an integrated review/synthesis of the evidence with implications for research and practice.
