Introduction
Hello, my name is Kristen Ryland. I am a graduate student at Virginia Commonwealth University in the School of Nursing. One of the courses I am taking this semester is a graduate research course called NURS 512: Advanced Nursing Science. The purpose of this course is to prepare us as future practitioners to be able to critique research studies, glean important information and decide if we should apply this information to our practice. During the course of the semester, we also completed an evidence-based project. This project involved developing a clinical question, reviewing current literature for evidence relating to the question, and making conclusions and recommendations based on this evidence. We also devised decision aids to help patients and healthcare workers determine if the treatment or intervention would be desirable to them. Finally, we developed standards in which to measure outcomes. This will enable us to see if the therapy is making a difference in the lives of our patients.
