NURS 50303 - Research & Evidenced Based Practice in Public Health
3 Credit(s)
Prerequisite(s): NURS 50103
This course examines the process of scientific inquiry, knowledge generation, utilization, and dissemination of evidence into advanced nursing practice in order to propose quality improvement initiatives that advance the delivery of safe, high-quality care for patient populations. Students critically evaluate evidence, including scientific findings, and apply levels of evidence and theoretical frameworks to design culturally appropriate clinical prevention interventions and public health based care that reduce risks, prevent disease, and promote health and well-being. Students also consider strategies to evaluate health policy and advocacy issues, the state of health care delivery, patient-centered care, and ethical principles related to health beliefs, health promotion, and risk reduction for diverse populations. Students apply these strategies to recognize gaps in nursing and health care knowledge, identifying potential solutions or innovations for those gaps, plan and implement practice changes, and evaluate the outcomes in order to improve practice. In this course, students develop a plan to implement solutions into the public healthcare setting, and design an evaluation plan that assesses the evidence based practice (EBP) project proposal’s intended outcome(s).
