Task:
This assessment item builds on assessment items 1 and 2. Students are required to conduct a critical review of the evidence, based on their selected topic of clinical uncertainty. Students will have already conducted a literature search for assessment item two on their chosen topic of uncertainty.
Students are required to:
Provide an overview of the area of evidence uncertainty and justification of why this topic was selected, including overall significance of the problem.
Summarise the current use of evidence based practice in the Australian health care setting, in relation to their topic; this may include anecdotal experience of the issue in practice.
Synthesise the available literature that supports and opposes self-identified healthcare interventions, appropriate to their population and consider the outcomes of the selected studies.
Compare and contrast findings from difference studies, and highlight study strengths and limitations of the studies included in their review.
Based on your review of the evidence, explain the rational for your decision making to your situation of uncertainty.
.
