Exam 2: Evidence-Based Practice: The Research Process
Explain why the evaluation phase (the final phase)of the evidence-based practice process is important even when applying an intervention that has been supported by the best research evidence.
The evaluation phase of the evidence-based practice process is important even when applying an intervention that has been supported by the best research evidence because it allows for the assessment of the intervention's effectiveness in the specific context in which it is being implemented. While the research evidence may support the intervention's efficacy in general, it is essential to determine if it is producing the desired outcomes in the particular setting and with the specific population being targeted.
Additionally, the evaluation phase provides an opportunity to identify any potential barriers or challenges to the successful implementation of the intervention. This information can then be used to make necessary adjustments or modifications to ensure that the intervention is being delivered effectively.
Furthermore, the evaluation phase allows for the collection of data on the intervention's impact, which can be used to inform future decision-making and improve the overall quality of care. By systematically assessing the intervention's outcomes, practitioners can ensure that they are providing the best possible care to their clients.
In summary, the evaluation phase of the evidence-based practice process is crucial for ensuring that interventions are not only supported by research evidence but also effective in real-world practice. It allows for the assessment of effectiveness, identification of barriers, and collection of data to inform future practice, ultimately leading to improved outcomes for clients.
All evidence-based practice questions should ask about a particular intervention in advance of the search for evidence.
False
Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of the bottom-up and top-down approaches to searching for evidence.
Social workers commonly work in settings where superiors do not understand or appreciate evidence-based practice and do not give practitioners enough time or other resources to carry out the evidence-based practice process.
The top-down and bottom-up approaches to searching for evidence are mutually exclusive.
Suppose that Jane Doe,MSW properly engages in all of the steps of the EBP process,and then decides that the best evidence indicates that the quality of the therapeutic alliance explains all the variation in client outcome and that the intervention chosen explains none of the variation.In other words,she accepts the Dodo Bird verdict,based on the studies that supported that verdict.This would mean that Jane is NOT really being evidence-based in her practice.
If an intervention has been supported by the best evidence,then it is safe to assume that it will be effective with a particular client.
