Description
This subject focuses on evidence based practice (the use of health research in professional practice) and lays the foundation for developing professionally-relevant competencies in research and evidence-based practice. It includes the study of research and appraisal methods applicable to the interpretation, application, and conduct of health research, using systematic and critical analysis approaches enshrined in the evidence-based practice approach. It uses problem-based and interactive learning to engage students in learning about the principles and applications of evidence based practice, epidemiology, research paradigms, quantitative and qualitative research design methods, and results appraisal and interpretation, and collaborative decision-making with patients and healthcare choices. This subject serves as a pre-requisite subject for further studies in health research design and planning implementation that follows in the Master of Occupational Therapy program.
