Eight National Practice Problems include COPD, mental illness, addiction, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity, and safety. You will successfully demonstrate your library search skills to identify evidence.
Cancer is the disease I picked.
Instructions
Conduct a literature search for another single source of quantitative evidence that contributes to practice change and improvement of a National Practice Problem identified in Week 3 and use the Johns Hopkins Appraisal Tool to appraise the new quantitative study. Please note the appraisal tool will not be submitted.
The quantitative source of evidence you select must be a single source of evidence. Systematic reviews are not permitted for this assignment.
Present the written reference and the permalink to the article you chose.
Compile the information from the John Hopkins Appraisal Tool for all 3 research studies and place the information in the John Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool.
Using the table as a tool, synthesize the collective findings from all 3 research studies selected in Weeks 3, 4, and 5.
Identify the main themes consistent in all 3 studies.
Compare and contrast the main points.
Finish by presenting an objective overarching discussion about the collective findings versus a summary of each individual study.
Attach the John Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool to the discussion.
