Introduction to Evidence-Based Practice: Basic Concepts & Ethics

Part I: Introduction to EBP: Basic Concepts

Please read the attached article (Sacred Cow Gone to Pasture: A Systematic Review of EBP) and answer both questions:

Identify a sacred cow that you use in your practice. Now try to track back to identify its source. Was it a tradition (“This is the way it’s always been done”)? Authority (“Dr. So-and-so said so”)? Or systematic research (“An empirical study discovered this to be the case”)?

How do you think you might go about changing it?

Part II: Ethics

Please choose one of the following questions to answer. Choose the other two questions to respond to two peer’s postings.

If you knew a patient was being coerced into a study what would you do?

Researchers are offering $1000 to be in a drug trial study. Do you think this is ethical? Why or Why not?

You have been asked to participate in a study where group interviews will be conducted and confidential information is shared. Do you participate? Why or why not?
