• Based on how you will evaluate your EBP project, which independent and dependent variables do you need to collect? Why?
• Not all EBP projects result in statistically significant results. Define clinical significance and explain the difference between clinical and statistical significance. How can you use clinical significance to support positive outcomes in your project?
• Discuss one personal strength and one weakness you have regarding professional presentations. Name one method for improvement for each of these and discuss why it is important for you to work on these skills if you want to present your findings in a more formal setting.
• Sustaining change can be difficult, as there are many variables that can affect implementation. One critical component of EBP is to ensure that practice change is part of an organization's culture so it will continue to impact outcomes over time. Name two potential barriers that may prevent your EBP change proposal from continuing to obtain the same desired results 6 months to a year from now, and your strategies for overcoming these barriers.
