INTRODUCTION
Evidence based practices can be defined as use of clinical procedures which has evidence by
research to gain appropriate findings. It includes several clinical practices which has expertise
opinion and clinically proved to be effective for specific health problem (Callejas, Byrne and
Rodrigo, 2018). However, it is observed that evidence based practices has few of important
elements like best external evidence, individual practitioner’s clinical expertise and patients
preferences respectively. Tackling neglect & abuse refers to set of procedures and practices to
solve the problem of neglect and abuse among patient in health and social care settings (Moore,
2016). It includes the criterion of formulating strict policies and practices which should be
followed by care professionals while dealing with sick people. Basically, it consist the fact that
medical practitioners are responsible for ensuring that patient will not face any kind of harm,
neglect or abuse in hospital care settings. It is required for higher authority and management of
healthcare organisations to establish an appropriate feedback desk of an escalation system to gain
knowledge about such aspects if happened in hospital. In context of this project, it will focus on
roles of researchers regarding evidence based practices and tackling neglect & abuse in health
care settings. It will also include legislations in regards to neglect and abuse to increase
satisfaction of patients. The proposal of research related to neglect & abuse having target
population of adult living with dementia and children with autism is given below.
TASK
Role of research for evidence based practice in health and social care settings.
Purpose and process of conducting evidence based practice research
The evidence based practice includes the purpose of providing the most effective care which is
available in hospital settings. It includes the reason to identify more effective as well as efficient
clinical methods appropriate to deal with specific health problem. Meanwhile, it includes to gain
evidence about particular process of treatment for making accurate decision of providing
effective care for wellbeing of an individual (Wangmo, Nordström and Kressig, 2017). The
evidence based practice has a research process including several steps which are mentioned here.
It includes to start with assessment of clinical decision which is required by considering various
aspects including ask, acquire, appraise, apply and audit respectively. Initially, it is necessary to
concert the data need into an answerable clinical question accordingly. Secondly, it is required to
