NUR 432 Principles of Research and Evidence-based Practice
This course examines basic principles of the research process and the relationship of nursing science and theory to evidence-based healthcare practices. Students will learn to critically appraise and interpret nursing research through the context of the identification of practice issues, levels of evidence, synthesis of evidence, translation into practice, participation in quality improvement, and evaluation of outcomes. The process for communication of scholarly findings and scientific evidence is highlighted through a culminating experience. This interdisciplinary project requires students to apply their UTampa education and nursing skills to demonstrate their roles as campus and global citizens.
