The theoretical foundations of qualitative and quantitative methods are very different, but many researchers believe both methods should be used in research studies to increase validity and reliability. What advantages or disadvantages do you see in using both types of methods in a nursing study? Provide an example of a nursing practice problem that could be studied using a mixed methods approach.
Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format. Disc 2, According to the textbook, nurses in various settings are adopting a research-based (or evidence-based) practice that incorporates research findings into their decisions and interactions with patients. Analyze the role nurses play in improving health care quality and safety through the use of evidence-based practice (EBP). How do you see this role being applied in your workplace? What internal stakeholder perspectives would you need to consider, including stakeholder support, in order to successfully implement an EBP project in your workplace?

How do the outcomes of the four articles you chose compare to your anticipated
outcomes?
Proposed Evidence-Based Practice Change
•
•
•
What is the link between the PICOT question, the research articles, and the nursing
practice problem you identified?
Based on this information, propose an evidence-based practice change to improve
outcomes of patient care for your identified setting.
