Fundamentals Of
Evidence-Based Practice-
Pearson Set Project
Unit 4

INTRODUCTION
The evidence-based practices has a main objective to furnish best and appropriate care so
that health of patients can be improved. It is based on person's conscience that are used for
making decision for their patient that are depend on evidence of health care. The evidence-based
practices are depend on research as it helps in identifying occurrence of disease in order to
deliver quality of services. This is an approach which is linked with health and social care
organisation. This report is includes effect of funding that are used to safeguard adults effectively
(Lockwood and Mei, 2015). This report include purpose and process of administrating research
in health and social care organisation. There are skills and attribute are necessary to conduct a
literature review are discussed in this. Moreover, literature research is discussed with the help of
related sources and topic. There are different advantages of evidence-based practices in
conducting research. The project proposal is also mentioned and influence of these practices on
health and social care organisation. The recent evidence-based practices have a positive impact
on improving service in health and social care.
TASK 1
P1)
There are some criteria occur in research from which service outcomes can be effectively
improved. This practise consists of guidelines, reviews and practices so that quality of health
care can be improved. This can be enhance by health care expertise and management in health
and social care organisation (Phillips, 2015). It is necessary in health care organisation as it
enhance services in an appropriate manner from which services can deliver in an effective
manner. It is beneficial in improving services among adults as to prevent those from abuse and
neglect from their services. In addition to this, evidence-based practices helps in creating less
complication in the care of service users.
The purpose of conducting research is to improve quality of treatments that are given to
service users. By identifying safety of patients, positive outcome and improvement in quality, the
quality of health can be improved. The health care practitioner need to follow different practices
that are need to develop appropriate outcomes of health care services. There are some steps occur
in evidence-based practices such as questions that are prepared from valid information so that
best evidence can be evaluated. From this, facts and data can be recognised by evaluation

process of this evidence. There are different approaches which are need in evidence-based
practices so that effective results can be implemented in health and social care organisation.
These approaches includes ingratiation questions, literature identification, measuring and
choosing relatively information. It also includes link of this evidence with patients, a action plan,
applying findings and evaluation of outcomes. The quality of services can be improved by
applying this evidence-based practices in health and social care organisation. This practices are
essential in clinical practices as their aim is to modify care quality in order to enhance health of
patients.
The process of administrating research includes some methodology such as quantitative
method. It also includes primary and secondary data from which information can be collected
through various resources such as surveys, interviews, etc. As there are some steps are also
included in processing of research. It includes identification of issues, reviewing literature,
clarification, clear concepts, identify population, develop a plan, collecting and analysing data.
There are eight steps of process of research in which the first step is to identify the
problem so that research question can be develop. The second step includes review the literature
in which researcher must review it and learn more about it. With in the third step of research,
clarification of problem occur. After it, the fourth steps includes to clarify terms and definition so
that confusion can be minimized. It is necessary to identify population on which research is
conducted which is occur in fifth step of research process. With in sixth steps, the researcher
need to develop instrumentation plan from which they can conduct entire research. The seven
steps includes collecting of data that help in providing information about research. After all
steps, it is necessary to analyse all data that has been gathered.
P2)
There are skills and attribute are required in evidence-based practices so that literature
can be easily conduct in health and social care organisation. This help organisation in conducting
practices in an appropriate manner so that quality of care can effective for patients (McLaughlin
and DeVoogd, 2017). There are various abilities of health care practitioner including skills and
knowledge which are needed to be acquire by them in order to enhance care by overcoming
barriers. This will be occur at the time of conducting literature review in health and social care.
The skills and knowledge are required by health practitioner in their personal and professionals
work role. These skills are described below as per their role.

Problem solving skills:- the problem solving skills can help in creating literature review
in health and social care. It enhance efficiency of working as now it provides abilities to solve
problems or issues in health care organisation. With the help of this, my skills are powerfully
assist in resolving problem as a health care practitioner. While conducting research, lots of
problem occur in identification of promotion and problems in safeguarding adults but with this
skills, problems are resolved in an impressive way.
Technical skills:- this skills are required in understanding perception of adults in a very
generous manner. As this skills are not appropriate which create some problems in personal and
as well as professional work. In this, the professionals face various issues regarding identifying
numbers and figures that are developed from various evidence-based practices.
Calm:- It is necessary to remain calm while conducting research as there are lots of
conflicts can be develop. This skills help in managing research literature review with an proper
and suitable manner. As while conducting literature review, it effects on mechanism or decision
making from which function can be improved.
Patience:- there are lots of challenges occur so it is vital to tolerate them with patience.
With this, I can able to control emotions and feelings while dealing with tough situations. The
patience is needed while time of conducting literature review as lots of tolerance is needed while
conducting it.
Active listeners skills:- this skills is crucial as it develops strong communication and
relationships so that message can deliver effectively. While research, the researcher needs to
listen carefully and show some interest on communication with others.
Interpersonal Skills:- the interpersonal skills are required to conducting literature
review. The interpersonal skills are not effective if the literature review does not occur properly.
This result in developing ineffectiveness in developing literature. With this skills, which is
impacted on literature review occur if it is occur inappropriate manner.
Decision making Skills:- this skills are necessary to be occur as it enhance the plan in an
appropriate manner. As I have effective decision making skills which help me in conducting
literature review with a specific plan which help in delivering services to patients (Trotter, 2015).
Time management:- this skills are required in conducting a literature review in a time
period. In this, submission of report to supervisors, expertise and seniors are occur. By managing
3

various problems on time now I can express that this skill can helpful in carry out literature
review.
Personal knowledge:- this refers to knowledge that occur from personal experiences. It is
based on own intuition that are come up through witnessing practices. The evidence are obvious
from documentation by witness. The personal knowledge is necessary to be occur while carrying
out literature review.
Skills that are needed to conduct ethical research
The ethical skills are refer to as knowledge that are used in evidence based practices. This
helps in developing proper investigation that can helpful in health and social care organisation as
it obtain wanted result. The health care practitioner are needed to carry these skills in their
research. There are some kind of ethics are occur such as neglect of misleading practices,
anonymity, reducing risk, etc. The health care researcher need to some methods in their practices
so that evidence practices can be useful for patients. With this, the health care organisation and
professional can effected in a positive way (Pearson, 2016). The activities of health care
practitioner that are needed in practical issues that are come up in patients such as adults. The
other work and health provision can be effected to customers in a positive way by using these
ethics through health care practitioner. There are some principles are required for Ethical
research such as beneficence, justice, non-maleficence. From this, there is no harm can occur
while conducting research as a purpose of this is to prevent the research from any harm. The
non-maleficence also makes sure that research does not cause any harm to other.
The skills and qualities that are necessary to conduct literature review.
Personal Professional
 There are various personal skills are
included such as decision making skills
which plays an important role in
decision taking abilities. This can be
expressed through collecting number of
evidence of research. With this,
effective consequences can be easily
evaluated (Morrisett, 2019). the
 The talent and problem solving skills
are necessary to collect evidence or
information so that it help in solving
issues in order to reduces unnecessary
results. The absence of this skills can
develop various negative problems
while conducting literature review.
 The technical skills consist of scientific,

personal skills must includes ethical
principles while carrying out literature
review. With this, literature review can
develop positively.
 The interpersonal skills are highly
required in communicating with
patients. The literature review can be

communicating with others. It can help
in communicating with others
effectively so that literature can convey
effectively.
 The time management skills is
necessary as it can manage data or
information that are needed for
evidence-based practices. It furnish the
important profits to interpret in a proper
period of time. With improper time
management, lots of data can't collected
in proper time which lead to various
issue in conducting research.
mathematical, and information which
help the practitioner in examine the
literature review. This skills also helps
in collecting data with facts and figures.
 The knowledge and presentation skills
are needed to represent information
among of literature review so that
wanted results of research can be
obtained. The weakness of presentation
skills is that it should be fully
presentable so that it can make
understand to all viewers.
TASK 2
P3)
According to views of Grandes (2020), there are some steps that are used to conduct
literature review which are described. The first step is to chose a topic and define the research
question. As the literature review is must guided by different research question. The second steps
is decide the scope of review that how effectively it should be among viewers. After this, the
third steps includes selecting database that are using for conducting searches (Grandes, 2020).
The fourth steps includes the conduct of research and find the literature of it. The literature must
5

review carefully so that it can save time. After it, there are some questions that help in reviewing
the literature which is fifth step of conducting literature review.
According to views of kamper (2020), the evidence based practices are based practices of
care which are needed to carry out proper practices in health and social care activity. The
literature review on impact of funding on being able to safeguard adults effectively (kamper,
2020). The health care practitioners have a responsibilities to provide effective service in order to
protect them from any abuse or harm.
According to views of Jeremy Gibson J. and et. al., (2020), the safeguarding refers to
protect adults from any abuse and neglect which can come from any form. There are some legal
framework in safeguarding adults (Gibson and et. al., 2020). This occur in the form of act and
policies which are benefiting adults. The care act 2014 provides consideration of adults so that
care and support can effectively deliver to them. They have main aim is to protect adults from
abuse and neglect that are occurring from organisation.
The local authorities and health and social care organisation have responsibilities to take
proper steps in implementing action. With the help of act, patients or adults are free from any
harm. There are many issues are present at time of delivering care to them (Allan, Magnusson
and Steven, 2019). But with such policies, the local authorities and organisation are considering
safeguarding adults. This is necessary to create care act from which care and support can be
provided to service users. There are some principles which are occur from safeguarding adults.
With this people can be encourage and motivated from which they can take their effective
decision of their care. The care and support can be provided to them with in proper time. There
are several communities that are play an important role in identifying and minimizing harm,
abuse and neglect. The proper funding can help organisation to prevent adults from neglecting by
providing availability of proper services to them.
P4)
The result of literature review is that the literature review can promote data and
information that are occurring in research. It provides purpose by identifying the impact of
funding that are occurring for safeguarding adults (Motta, 2019). The safeguarding of adults can
be promote by implementation of various process such as evidence-based practices. The funding
plays an important role in safeguarding adults. As it provides effective care which satisfy them
6

according to their needs so that they can prevent from harm and abuses. The implementation of
care act 2014 in local authorities and health and social care organisation are beneficial for adults
as they can deliver effective care to adults by considering their needs and requirements. There is
some reliability and viability occurs for literature review which includes various methods of
sources including methods, appearance applicability and balance so that it can occur properly.
These are factors that help in conducting literature review properly.
TASK 3
P5)
The evidence-based practice is define as the treatment of best and latest evidence that are
collected from research in order to provide latest and good treatment to their patients. This
practice involves patients in which their aim is to enhance care among patients. It also includes
to increase the efficiency of treatment so that care can properly deliver to patients. The evidence-
based practices involves various skills that can help in benefited in delivering care and treatment
to patients. It helps in building proficiency of health and social care organisation from which
they can prevents adult from abuse and neglect.
The evidence-based practices needs proper time of research and proper understanding
which help in conducting treatment to patients. There are various benefits of evidence-based
practice that can help care practitioner and researcher. The evidence-based practices are needed
as they have objective to provide effective and appropriate care to their patients. As the
customers are also want effective care that are based on recent evidence-based practices. The
benefit of evidence-based practices helps in improving outcome of patient in health and social
care organisation.
The evidence-based practices focuses on increasing quality of treatment and care so that
better outcomes or result can be obtained (Williamson, 2018). This also help in decreasing cost
of care and treatment as many individual are not bale to pay cost of treatment. The many patients
are facing issues but with this they can be prevented from neglect and abuse. This help in
increasing efficiency and quality of health care practitioner in their skills. As various skills such
as decision making, team management, interpersonal, problem solving and presentation skills
can be increased. There are various questions are developed at time of conveying care but with
According to views of these the prefer answers can be effectively delivered to patients. This

increase satisfaction of patients which increase profit of health and social care organisation. The
best care can deliver to patient with effective evidences such as literature, etc.
The evidence-based practices help in creating judgement by use of current evidence
According to views of-based practices. It help in implementation of various method and
intervention that are needed to create policies and standards that can help in patients in their
health. With this many barriers can remove that occur from various issues whether it is for
change practices or occurring of autonomy (Brooks, 2018). The evidence-based practices are
changing disciplines and guidelines of health and social care organisation. Which are needed for
health care.
P6) Project proposal form
Project title:-“To examine the impact of funding on being able to safeguard adults effectively.”
Introduction
The funding is most key feature of health care organisation which are necessary to be
properly occur in an organisation. The funding can promote organisation in number of ways by
increasing services of their system. As with funds, health care practitioner can provide effective
services to their patients. With help of this, care and treatment can effectively deliver which can
satisfy them in their treatment. The adults are highly affected from harm and risk they may occur
due to lack of funds in health and social care organisation. The proper funding in health care
organisation can help them to deliver good quality and new intervention to customers.
Aims And Objectives
The aim of this research is to understand the aim of research that help in evaluation
question in an appropriate manner. The objective is define as decision that are taken by
researcher so that aim can be attain of research.
Research Aim: “To examine the impact of funding on being able to safeguard adults
effectively.”
Research Objectives
 To evaluate the concepts of promoting safeguarding among adults in health and social
care service.
 To analyse the impact of funding on being able to safeguard adults effectively.
Research questions
8

 How to evaluate the concepts of promoting safeguarding among adults in health and
social care service?
 What is the the impact of funding on being able to safeguard adults effectively?
Rationale
The main aim of conducting this research is to analyse the impact of funding on being
able to safeguard adults effectively. This is important to conduct as due to funds of health and
social care organisation, many adults have impacted on it. It helps me in developing my various
personal and professional skills such as interpersonal, technical, time management and other
skills.
Literature Review
The literature review can be conducting as it have various benefits such it provides ideas
and approach that are not attain by researcher. It reveal about sources that are not acquired by
researcher. The main purpose of conducting literature review is to understand about any topic so
that relevant information can be developed. It helps in justify research based problems and
methods. This helps in building knowledge about any topic and information (NHS services,
2020). This is also define terminology, definitions and key terms on the topic that are chosen for
research. It helps in improving care among customers and it also increase opportunities for
oneself from which they can enhance their skills.
The concepts of promoting safeguarding among adults in health and social care service.
According to views of stevens, (2020), the safeguarding refers to prevention from harm
and neglect among adults. It is important to promote safeguarding among adults as it develops
effectiveness of care and services to them. There are many adults who are facing issues through
health and social care organisation (Stevens, 2020). As adults are easily attracted to care and
treatments which can lead to harmful effect on them. The safeguarding is a key feature in health
and social care as it delivers safe and secure care to them. This is important in health care
organisation as many adults are not able to take decision of their treatment (Safeguarding
vulnerable adults: Exploring the challenges to best practice across multi-agency settings, 2020).
So by promoting this, the adults can take appropriate decision from which they can benefited in
their care. With this, well-being, beliefs and quality of life can be increased. The safeguarding
help in promoting environment from which adults can value their life. This includes providing
support to adults when they needed most (Google scholar, 2020). With this, adults are able to
9

recognise their responsibilities which are need to be taken by them. The promotion of
safeguarding help in supporting adults by health care practitioner.
The impact of funding on being able to safeguard adults effectively.
According to views of jackson (2016), the funding can impacted on adults in number of
ways as it effects their health. The adults are more prone to risk and harm of health and social
care organisation (Jackson, 2016). As they are most likely to get attracted from services of health
and social care organisation (Information and advice, 2020). If health care organisation does not
have proper funds then lack of various services and management occurs (Safeguarding Adults,
2016). This will impacted on their health life as they are in contact of various harm and risk. The
funding have a various impact on adults (Nursing and midway council, 2020). As their lack
cause harm and neglect in their care. The efficiency of proper funding in organisation deliver
good quality of care to them (Literature Reviews: Types of Literature, 2017). With this, care that
are provided to them can increase satisfaction of their treatment.
Research Methodology
The information and data are collect according to relevance of evidence-based research.
The quantitative method can be used in this. The data in this are gathered through objective
based of research. As it helps in identifying research theme in an appropriate manner.
There are two types of method in collecting data or information that is primary and
secondary. The primary method includes collection of information through interviews, surveys
and questionnaire, etc. The secondary data involves collection of information by internet,
journals and books.
Gantt chart:- this is used to measure the activities of any planning with in proper given time.
These provide and assist in track specific task of project. This was invented by Henry. L. Gantt.
This chart provides the direction of tasks about time that is needed to conduct and time frames
from which task can be completed.
