Qualitative Data Analysis	The aim of this Reusable Learning Object (RLO) is to give you an idea of how qualitative data analysis is done. It's aimed at students studying evidence based practice or research methods, with a basic understanding of what qualitative research is.	Research, EBP, Evidence-Based Medicine, qualitative research
What is Evidence Based Practice?	This RLO introduces the concept of evidence based practice and explains, in outline, how evidence based practice is done.	EBP, Research
Asking the right question	This RLO outlines why asking the right question can help in the search for evidence, and explains how to construct good questions using the PICO technique.	EBP, Research, pico
Types of qualitative research	This RLO outlines the variety of types of qualitative research that there are. It's aimed primarily at students studying evidence based practice and research methods.	EBP, Research, qualitative research
What is a randomised controlled trial?	This RLO outlines how Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) work.	EBP, rct, clinical trial, Pharmacology, Research
Cohort and case-controlled studies	This RLO explains what are case-control and cohort studies, and outlines the difference between them.	Research, EBP
Determining the clinical importance of trial results	This RLO demonstrates how to interpret and use clinical trial data (ARR, RRR, NNT, NNH, and confidence intervals) in practice.	EBP
Positive and negative predictive value of diagnostic tests	This RLO explains how diagnostic test results are a combination of true and false positive, or true and false negative.	EBP, PPV, NPV
Relative risk reduction and absolute risk reduction	This RLO considers how to measure and interpret the magnitude of effect in clinical trial results using relative risk reduction (RRR) and absolute risk reduction (ARR).	EBP, Risk, ARR, RRR, clinical trial
Sensitivity and Specificity	This RLO explains how diagnostic test accuracy is described by the terms sensitivity and specificity. Sensitivity describes the accuracy of the test in detecting disease. Specificity describes the accuracy of the test in detecting health.	EBP, GEM
SI Units and calculating unit changes	To identify what SI units are, when they are used, and how to calculate unit changes.	EBP, Numeracy
Why critique research?	Why published research needs to be appraised by readers.	EBP, Research, Study skills
Meta-analysis	This RLO provides an introduction to the basic concepts of meta-analysis, which is an important and valuable tool for summarising data from multiple studies.	EBP, Research, meta-analysis
Presenting and interpreting meta-analyses	How to present and interpret the results of a meta-analysis using forest plots.	Research, meta-analysis, EBP, quantitative synthesis, forest plot
Search strategy for locating Randomised Controlled Trials	Introduction to search strategies for locating randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in online databases.	EBP
Advanced literature searching	How to construct literature search enquiries using the thesaurus, focus or explode your search, use the search term taxonomy to refine your search and combine these methods into an advance search protocol.	CINAHL, Evidence-Based Medicine, EBP
Confidence intervals	This RLO defines the term 'confidence intervals' and demonstrates how they can be used to determine the significance and range of possible sizes of a treatment effect.	EBP
Using databases to find journal articles	An introduction to online databases of journals relevant to nurses (eg CINAHL, BNI).	EBP, Study skills
How to conduct a literature search	Practical examples of searching databases of journal articles (eg CINAHL, BNI), including screen movies of actual searches.	EBP, Study skills
Numbers needed to treat and numbers needed to harm	This RLO considers how to measure and interpret the magnitude of effect in clinical trial results using number needed to treat (NNT) and number needed to harm (NNH).	EBP, NNT, NNH, clinical trial
Qualitative and quantitative research	Outlining the distinction between qualitative and quantitative methods of doing research.	EBP, Research, Statistics
Designing a Questionnaire	This RLO introduces good practice in questionnaire design, step by step.	EBP, Research
Surrogate Outcomes	This RLO considers the type of evidence which should be used when making decisions about patient care.	EBP
Steps in conducting a systematic review	This RLO outlines the five fundamental steps to conducting a systematic review of health care research so as identify, select and critically appraise relevant research.	EBP
What are Journals?	This learning object introduces educational journals and describes three types: Academic, Professional and Subject. The examples used are drawn from the area of nursing, but the concepts are cross-discipline.	EBP, Study skills, Journals
Birth Prevalence	This RLO explores the concept of birth prevalence, a special type of prevalence defined as "the percentage of a given population who have a particular disease in a given population at a given point in time or over a particular time period."	prevalence, EBP, Statistics
