Running Head: DO VACCINES REDUCE THE RISK OF INFECTIONS? 1Do Vaccines Reduce the Risk of Infections?NameInstitution

DO VACCINES REDUCE THE RISK OF INFECTIONS? 21.1Research TopicDo Vaccines Reduce the Risk of Infection?An alternative hypothesis for this subject would be: Most infections are eliminated or reduced bythe use the right vaccines recommended by a doctor or a certified medical professional. 2.1Definition of Key Terms3Research Questions/hypothesis and its purposeThe research question or hypothesis is of importance to the nursing practice and development as it provides crucial information to the stakeholders involved. 3.1Research questionThe research question is: Do Vaccines Reduce the Risk of Infection?3.2Steps of the Evidence based process (EBP)The steps of evidence based process are asses, ask, acquire, appraise, apply and self-evaluation respectively. The first thing to do is to get a patient or participant to the study and take a close observation on them then ask a clinical question that relates to the topic (Melnyk et.al 2010). Thenext procedure is to acquire evidence from reliable sources to help in the implementation of the study goals. The researcher now has a crucial role to appraise the evidence acquired and test for its validity, reliability and applicability. The fifth step is to apply the knowledge and talk to the patient about their situation according to the information relevant to the study (Slavin, 2008). Finally self evaluation will be important for the researcher as it determines the performance with the specific participant and establish the strengths and weaknesses to make the next encounter more productive.

DO VACCINES REDUCE THE RISK OF INFECTIONS? 33.3Contribution of future results to evidence based practiceThe study aims to gain information on the factors that influence the clinical aspect in question and the way participants view it. These details will make the EBP more informative and detailed since new findings might be discovered related to the patient or topic in question (Kaminsky et.al2011). Therefore if an EBP is conducted after the research is concluded, then it will be more educative. 3.4Contribution of the research to nursing practice The study will influence the audience to seek vaccine care and use them only with a doctor’s prescription which will in turn reduce the number of infections and also deal with the existing ones (Rerks-Ngarm et.al 2009). 3.5Participation of a MemberA community health activist will form part of the research team to play a major role of influencing members of the public to participate in the study as it helps them realize important details concerned with their health. 4Literature reviewThe researcher is obliged to present accurate, reliable and applicable data about the subject matter which the audience can apply in their health related lives. The kind of data that can be trusted for the success of this study are health articles published in professional journals. The information from these sources is usually peer reviewed to ensure that all the facts obtained are trustworthy and unbiased. The researcher will make use of three main articles for the study with

DO VACCINES REDUCE THE RISK OF INFECTIONS? 4a main aim of getting the right information to answer the research question and also fill in the literature gaps. 4.1Article 1Andre et. Al (2008) describes the issue of reduced diseases, disabilities and to an extent death. The article’s main hypothesis is that vaccination is the best way of preventing future illnesses foran individual and has less associated side effects. Although there has been studies and campaignsfocusing on the safety of vaccines, research proves that therapeutic medicines have more negative impacts compared to vaccines Andre et. Al (2008). The authors add that getting vaccines the right way and time might reduces the risks of disabilities like in the cases of polio and death as well. The study will focus on establishing the occasions where a vaccine might not be able to prevent diseases, disability or death. 4.2Article 2Bawankule et.al (2017) establish a study of the effect of measles vaccination to the respiratory infection (RI) and diarrhea in children. An analysis of the participants shows that the individuals who were vaccinated against measles had a less chance of getting RI and diarrhea complications.The injections worked well in children and from the results, it is clear that vaccines are a good way of preventing health complications. The study aims at establishing an observation of participants of varying ages and the types of advantages or disadvantages they face when fighting diseases depending on whether they were vaccinated or not. 4.3Article 3
