evidece base practice

You are on
placement in a facility that has recently experienced a higher than usual
incidence of falls among patients. Because the causes of falls within the
facility have been varied, the facility wishes to identify a range of effective
falls prevention interventions as part of a fall prevention program. You are
asked to systematically search the literature and identify a range of
high-quality studies reporting on interventions for fall prevention.

Using the
following A’s of Evidence-Based Practice, you are to:
·
ACQUIRE the literature by using a
structured search strategy adapted as appropriate for various research
databases (e.g. Google Scholar, PubMed; CINAHL; PsycINFO) to identify evidence
that will inform your response to the research question. You are to report and
justify your search strategy.
·
APPRAISE the quality of studies by
grouping according to their position on the NHMRC Level of Evidence and comment
on implications of study quality.
·

This assessment piece
will be written in the form of a structured response using the headings
“ACQUIRE” and “APPRAISE” with an introduction and conclusion. Every statement
of fact must be supported by a valid reference.
