INTEGRATING EVIDENCE INTO PRACTICE
HEA201
2021
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject, you will gain knowledge and skills that are needed to: develop and refine answerable practice-related questions; develop and implement complex and comprehensive database searches to acquire evidence that is relevant to practice-related questions; appraise the strength of evidence acquired by the searches, apply the acquired evidence to relevant aspects of practice, and reflect on your own performance in asking and answering a practice-related question and applying the answer to practice. During the course of this learning, you will begin to develop an understanding of research processes and, thereby, develop 'research literacy' as an essential tool for health practice and for the utilisation of research evidence in practice. Relevant aspects of research methods are introduced, and you will acquire knowledge relating to the selection and use of measures and/or tests that are used in research and in practice in your discipline.
