This subject develops students’ understanding on how an evidence-based framework and the contextualised application of research findings is integral to the practice of nursing. It explores concepts associated with the process of inquiry (ask, acquire, appraise and apply) and the quality and appropriateness of research findings for translation into nursing knowledge and practice. The subject introduces foundational research and evidence based practice methods including developing a clinical question, literature searching, identifying study designs, critical appraisal of the evidence and the identification and application of frameworks that aim to support the translation of evidence into nursing knowledge and practice. Students will gain an appreciation for the application of research evidence in the context of patient and family values and the organisational, ethical and policy environments.
