Exploring Evidence-Based Practice: Research Methods and Strategies for Healthcare

This outline covers foundational concepts in evidence-based practice (EBP) and research methods. Classes focus on database searching (Cochrane, MEDLINE, CINAHL, SportDiscus), search strategies, persistent links, and interlibrary loan services. Students will learn to use Mendeley for reference management and explore the structure of evidence through the evidence pyramid. Key components of EBP include formulating clinical questions, assessing clinical expertise, considering patient preferences, and evaluating research evidence with a specific focus on the impact of exercise therapy on bone density in elderly women with osteoporosis.

  1. EXSS-37500 Research Methods Laura Kuo lkuo@ithaca.edu 9/4/14

  2. Outline – Class 1 • Database Searching • Cochrane, MEDLINE; CINAHL; SportDiscus • Search Strategies • EBP Limits • Persistent Link • Interlibrary Loan • Blog: Find an article and the persistent link

  3. Outline – Class 2 • Mendeley Demo • Searching and adding references into Mendeley

  4. Clinical Expertise Research Evidence Patients’ Preferences What is Evidence-based Practice?

  5. What do we mean by “evidence”? The evidence pyramid is used to illustrate the evolution of the literature. As you move up the pyramid the amount of available literature decreases, but … increases in its relevance for application in clinical settings. Image: http://library.downstate.edu/EBM2/2100.htm

  6. Evidence-based Practice: The Process

  7. A well-built clinical question • Patient, population, or problem • Intervention, prognostic factor, or exposure • Comparison or intervention • Outcomes to measure or be achieved

  8. Clinical Scenario • Does exercise therapy improve bone density in elderly women with osteoporosis?
