Discussion Forum Guidelines for Critical Appraisal in Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)
To facilitate learning and engagement in critical appraisal, follow these steps for your discussion post:
1. Select and Read Articles
- Choose at least two (2) peer-reviewed nursing journal articles that discuss evidence-based nursing interventions or therapies relevant to your current area of practice.
2. Identify a Clinical Problem & Formulate a PICO Question
- Based on the articles, identify a clinical problem.
- Construct a well-defined PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) question to guide your appraisal.
- Provide the full citation and links to the selected journal articles.
3. Appraise the Evidence
- Use the appropriate Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) Checklist to evaluate the quality and relevance of your selected studies.
- CASP checklists are available at: Critical Appraisal Skills Programme.
4. Post Your Discussion
- Submit your discussion post, which should include:
- Your PICO question
- Summary and critical appraisal of the two (2) articles
- Reflection on the applicability of the findings to your practice
5. Engage in Peer Learning
- Review and engage with your peers’ posts by providing constructive comments and insights.
Let’s collaborate, critique, and enhance our skills in EBP together! 😊
