Public Health and Epidemiology Case 2

You can submit this paper in Question and Answer format. In other words, list the questions and provide a short answer to each.*****

Write an essay in which you first clearly identify a single major achievement in Epidemiology (e.g., Smallpox, HIV/AIDS, Tobacco

Use, Cholera). Then briefly describe one important tool that is used to measure its occurrence in a population.

Briefly identify one source of public health data on that issue. Finally, incorporating the concepts of risk and rates, briefly discuss at least one major factor that influenced its occurrence.

(1.) Which single achievement in Epidemiology is of particular interest to you? (Some examples include Smallpox, HIV/AIDS, Tobacco Use, and Cholera). write 2–3 sentences maximum.

(2.) Briefly describe that achievement in Epidemiology (1–2 paragraphs). In what era did this achievement occur? Be sure to cite sources rather than simply stating your opinion.

(3.) Briefly describe one important tool that can be used to measure its occurrence in a population. Examples of Tools include surveys, surveillance, and biological monitoring. write 2–3 paragraphs about this, and be sure to cite sources rather than simply stating your opinion.

(4.) Identify one specific source of public health data on that issue and write one paragraph about it. Provide a description of the source and a link (i.e., hyperlink or URL) directly to the data source.

(5.) Incorporating what you learned in this module about risk and rates, what would you say was one major factor that influenced the achievement of this occurrence? write 2–3 paragraphs and be sure to cite sources rather than simply stating your opinion.

Discuss the relationship between the research available and the practice you have selected. How have you experienced the use of research in your practice?

Objective: Timely application of research evidence in patient care is of significant importance.

In this assignment, you will demonstrate your understanding of the connection between theory and how it is supported by rigorous research to become evidence-based practice and transitioned to patient care.

Directions:
Upload your Poster, one PowerPoint Slide, to Turnitin by the deadline provided in the course calendar.

1) Select a current nursing practice or procedure. You can use a practice or procedure from your daily work environment.

• Find research studies that support the procedure or practice. The key term here is research studies.

• Find at least 2 research studies or one meta-analysis or systematic review that support the practice or procedure.

Supporting EBP requires a high level of evidence from research.

Refer to the Evidence Hierarchy on page 131 of your textbook and look for studies from the higher levels.

A good place to start would be the Cochran Collection in the library database.

Journal articles on the topic can provide expert opinion to support EBP.

These are a lower-level of evidence in the hierarchy of evidence but are often valid.

Your supporting literature DOI or URL must lead to your resources to be counted.

Check your DOI or URL carefully. Hanging indents and double spacing are not required for this assignment.

2) Proper APA format is required for citations and references including the DOI for articles from the library.

Double spacing and hanging indents are NOT required for this assignment.

3) Create one Poster on a single PowerPoint slide with the following information:

• Topic Title, Your name, and Credentials

• Discuss the relationship between the research available and the practice you have selected.

Topic Ex: PICC lines, Decubitus care, Tube feedings, VAP bundle, CAUTI, etc
• How have you experienced the use of research in your practice? Avoid HIPAA violations
