Program
------------------------
MM: METODOLOGIA DELL'INFERMIERISTICA BASATA SULLE EVIDENZE
------------------------
• The model and the elements of EBP process • Formulating an Answerable Question using the ‘P I C O’ principle • Searching evidence in scientific databases (eg. PubMed) to identify and to propose solutions/ innovations to clinical • Understanding results from quantitative evidence: RCT’s, cross.-sectional and observational studies, systematic reviews and meta-analysis • Understanding results from qualitative studies • Understanding the Clinical Practice Guidelines and their relevance in the nursing practice • Integrating clinical judgment, patient preferences and other available resources as a basis for clinical decision-making • The Evidence Hierarchy: definitions and examples

The course is structured in theoretical lessons (24h) provided in dual mode (face to face and remote). The teaching material is made available to the students on the e-learning web page of the course (Moodle platform). Collection and organization of biomedical data: - stages of a statistical research; - population, sample and statistical units; - measurement process and measurement scales; - validity, accuracy and precision of a measuring instrument; - absolute, relative and cumulative frequencies; - one and two-way frequency tables. Graphical representation of biomedical data: - pie chart; - bar chart; - histogram; - cumulative frequency polygon. Measures of location and dispersion: - mode; - percentiles and median; - simple and weighted arithmetic mean; - range; - interquartile range; - deviance, variance and standard deviation; - coefficient of variation. An introduction to probability theory: - definition of probability; - axiomatic theory of probabilities; - rules of probability calculation; - independent and conditional probabilities; - Bernoulli and Gauss distributions. Diagnostic and screening tests: - sensitivity and specificity. The objects of epidemiology: - outcome; - measures of disease frequency (prevalence, cumulative incidence, incidence rate); - determinant. The occurrence relationship: - measures of absolute effect (attributable risk); - measures of relative effect (relative risk, odds ratio). The epidemiological studies: - ecological study; - cross-sectional study; - case-control study; - cohort study; - clinical trial. An introduction to statistical inference: - point estimate; - confidence interval; - statistical test.
