NURS603 Nursing Research – Examining the Evidence
The course focuses on the knowledge and skills needed to critically interpret and utilize research findings for evidence- based practice. Students will examine various evidence-based models and frameworks as they examine an identified practice question with a focus on further understanding of a selected concept. Based upon a systematic search of the literature, students will evaluate existing evidence related to a practice question. Research will be critiqued to include but not limited to methodology, ethical and cultural implications and potential barriers to implementation of evidence-based practice. Students will design a research study in their area of interest.
