Rlt2 Task 1

What did you learn in the first five weeks of the course that surprised you and changed the way you think about nursing research and EBP?
How to explore the different ways of differentiating evidence-based nursing practice and the usefulness of the process for providing the practices in the framework of evidence-based practice and nursing research studies. The most surprising information in this first five weeks is learning how to assess the theoretical- abstract components, designs in quantitative research, various methods for data collection in quantitative studies, PICO of nursing research studies and its meaning: patient, intervention, comparison and outcome. (Polit & Beck, 2014)
The major components that has changed my views is doing the

The pretest-posttest design, crossover design, placebo, quasi-experiments (lack randomization but involve intervention and is usually found to be more acceptable to a broader group of people who are not always willing to be randomized in clinical trials). The RCT study known as the “gold standard” (for interventional studies, controlled and randomized for comparing a controlled and interventional group variable) and The Cohort (prospective) design research (analysis or the observational design with cohort, it starts with a recognized cause and then goes forward to the recognized effect). The clarification of the outcomes of the statistical analysis in quantitative research, understanding the research practice and the identification of the basis of evidence-based practice contained by the sections of research and critiques of that research. By graining an understanding of these steps and knowing how to rethink research and revise my views of the research will aid in success of my practicing these tactics (Polit, & Beck,
