DTH107 Determine Health Assessment 2: Research Report
Step 1 Research and Evidence-Based Practice
When undertaking research, you need to clarify the methods you will be using. For this
section of the report, you must address the following points and provide referencing where
required 1.1 Rules of Evidence
Explain what the ‘rules of evidence’ are in relation to evidence-based practice (EPB) (50 words).
In this, there are four major rule which is based on evidence such as validity, sufficiency,
authenticity and currency. The rule of evidence is very close which is based on the relation of
principle of the assessment and help to highlight the essential factor which is helpful in the
collection of data. In this, the optimised source of evidence which act as rule follow the validity,
sufficiency which provide contextual output. Whereas the authenticity and currency is also a
reliable based of generating the evidence.
1.2 Evidence-based Practice
Provide an APA-referenced definition of evidence-based practice (EBP) and state how it is used (50
words).
Respond here:
Evidence based practice is defined as the conscientious and judicious use of the current best
evidence that help in conjunction with the aspect of clinical expertise that require the patient value
which help to guide proper health care decision. Moreover. The evidence based practice need to
require APA referencing which is helpful to generate evidence with the article or the topic in which
the major of research is conducted.
1.3 Research and Continuous Improvement
Explain how EBP is different from ‘research’ and ‘continuous quality improvement’ and explain
how they are used (50 words).
Respond here:
The evidence practice is defined as the best available research which is based on evidence with
clinical expertise and the patient which help to improve the outcome. In this, the major process is
usually involving with asking of question which is related with clinical aspect. Moreover, the
finding of best evidence which help to answer, applying the evidence to practice and used to
evaluate the evidence based on the clinical outcome which is mandatory for the quality
improvement.
1.4 Research Methods
Provide a diagram of EBP, a typical research process and continuous quality improvement. This
will be 3 diagrams in total with referencing
Respond here:
The research applies in the methodology which majorly include quantitative and qualitative data
which help to develop new core of knowledge. As per this, the evidence based practice allow the
user to apply the best clinical evidence which is related with the research which help in making the
26

Figure 2
Figure 3
1.5 Duty of Care Requirements
Explain the duty of care requirements associated with EPB (50 words).
Respond here:
The principle of the duty of care is that the obligation to avoid which help to act or the omission
which help to show the foreseen which help to injure on other the people. Moreover, they help to
show that the anticipation risk for the client used to make additional aspect and also taking care to
prevent them in order to making the harm.
1.6 Research Reasons
Describe what each of these different reasons for undertaking research are (20 words each).
26

DTH107 Determine Health Assessment 2: Research Report
 Comparison
 Hypothesis testing
 Trend identification
 Own knowledge extension Strengthen quality of own practice
Respond here:
Comparison: In the evidence based practice, they majorly include that the integration of the best
available evidence, in this, the clinical expertise, the patient value and circumstance related with the
new aspect which is associated with the patient and also it is engage with client management,
practice management and health policy decision making.
Hypothesis testing: In this, the hypothesis testing is defined as the process which help to evaluate
the strength which is based on evidence from the core sample which help to provide the framework
which is related with the making of determinant that is associated with population. It provides an
additional method which show the understanding which is extrapolate the finding which is observed
under the study with larger population.
Trend identification: In order to implement the evidence based practice, the practitioner must use
their first identify practice which is related with program which has been tested and show the
effectiveness. Moreover, there is a target view which is based on relevant factor that require the
literature which help to lead to determine the practice with the confirmation of research foundation
which has been documented and published.
Own knowledge extension: There is huge process which is associated with the evidence based
practice. In order to this, there are some basic skill which is required to undertake nursing work,
nurse must have the core ability which help to identify knowledge gaps, formulate question which
play relevance in the topic which is associated with the evidence based practice. Moreover, they
used to conduct efficient literature search. There are rules which is applied in order to make the
evidence that determine the validity of the studies.
Strengthen quality of own practice: In this, the evidence based practice which is best available with
the factor of clinical expertise and the patient used to value other in order to improve the quality of
outcome. In this, the process is being involve in the asking of clinical question, finding the best
evidence to answered. Therefore, they used to apply the evidence in order to make the practice and
this help to evaluate the evidence based outcome on clinical aspect.

DTH107 Determine Health Assessment 2: Research Report
Step 2 Plan the Information
The next step in a research report is to clarify why the topic should be researched and plan how you
will gather the information. For this section, you should address the following points.
2.1 Issue Statement
Clearly state the two issues being investigated (20 words each).
Respond here:
With the determinants of health, they majorly include factor which render the social and economic
environment, the physical and person individual characteristics and the behaviour.
2.2 Objectives and Trends of Issues
State why each research topic (150 words each) is being investigated, including:
 Two (2) objectives you aim to achieve for each (How will benefit nursing practice?)
 APA-referenced evidence of why each is an issue
 APA referenced example of where each can be seen in practice
 Two (2) ways each issue is currently managed or approached.
Respond here:
In this, the two objective of this is to achieve the social and economic environment. As per this, the
physical environment and the person individual characteristic is also taken with their behaviour. In
this, the APA referencing is helpful and play vital role in concerning the evidence which is proper
and appropriate. It helps to show the author name and their article which is beneficial. By using
appropriate framework and model such as biological model and ecological model is helpful to
manage the condition of health.

In Step 2, you listed objectives for each topic of research. You should have at least four (4). For this
step, you need to collect, evaluate and organise the evidence related to your topics, and discuss your
research processes.
3.1 Information-gathering Strategy
Summarise the strategy you used to gather information generally, noting the sources you explored,
how you determined if the information was relevant and why you left certain resources out (150
words).
Respond here:
In this, the major of discussion and the data collection strategy or the information gathering strategy
is used from the secondary source. In this, the major of information which is based on the topic is
collected from the Journals, Article and other website which play important role in order to collect
the data and perform well demonstrated strategy where the data is collected from PubMed, WHO
and other website which have relevance set of data and maintain evidence based practice.
Moreover, the website has various set of data which is collected from researcher and this is act as
secondary data while collecting information. The proper information is gather while reviewing the
article and journals on that particular topic which is effective and play functional role in collecting
useful data.
