Perform a critical appraisal of the following 3 sources of evidence. Consider the strength of the synthesized evidence to make practice recommendations. Using the JBI Tool
- Assessment and Management of Pressure Injuries for the Interprofessional Team (national guideline)
- “Nursing Interventions for Pressure Injury Prevention Among Critically Ill Patients: A Systematic Review” (systematic review) from the University Library
- “Pressure Injury Prevention for Complex Cardiovascular Patients in the Operating Room and Intensive Care Unit: A Quality Improvement Project” (quality improvement study) from the University Library
Identify the level for each source of evidence using Johns Hopkins’ Hierarchy of Evidence Guide in Appendix D of Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals: Model & Guidelines.
Use the JBI critical appraisal tool designed specifically for appraising systematic reviews for determining the quality of the systematic review.
Use the Johns Hopkins’ Nonresearch Evidence Appraisal Tool in Appendix F of Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals: Model & Guidelines for appraising the national guideline and the quality improvement study.
Write a 1,250- to 1,400-word paper in which you:
- Identify what other types of research and nonresearch evidence you might look for to increase your confidence in recommending a practice change based on the levels for these sources of evidence.
- Provide an accurate appraisal using the correct appraisal tool for the national guideline, systematic review, and the quality improvement study.
- Assess the strengths and weaknesses of the 3 sources of evidence based on your appraisal.
- Provide 5 practice recommendations that you would present to an organization based strictly on your synthesis of the strength and quality of these 3 sources of evidence. Discuss your rationale for selecting those recommendations.
- Explain what organizations would need to consider before adopting those recommendations you identified (e.g., benefit, cost, need for resources).
-
