Study Findings That Help You Answer the EBP Question

Quality Appraisal of Research Studies

1. Does the researcher identify what is known and not known about the problem and how the study will address any gaps in knowledge?
Yes, gaps in the application of evidence-based practices in clinical settings were effectively articulated.
2. Was the purpose of the study clearly presented?
Yes, the study aimed to measure the impact of evidence-based practice on patient outcomes.
3. Was the literature review within the last 5 years?
Yes, the review included studies published from 2017 to 2021.
4. If there is a control group:
- Were the characteristics and/or demographics similar in both the control and intervention groups?
Yes, participants were matched based on demographics and health status.
- If multiple settings were used, were the settings similar?
Yes, all settings shared a similar patient demographic.
- Were all groups equally treated except for the intervention group(s)?
