Dependent and Independent Variables in Evidence Based Practice-Nursing
Coming Soon
Sample Question
Based on how you will evaluate your EBP project, which independent and dependent variables do you need to collect? Why?
Question Explanation
My evidence based project is based on application of prewarming methods to reduced hypothermia and the adverse health complications associated with the condition among surgical patients in operating room setting. To evaluate the outcomes of the EPB projects, collection of dependent and independent variables in the project is essential (Watson, Stimpson, Topping & Podorock, 2002). One of the dependent variables that I would collect in the evidence based projects are the health outcomes of the surgical patients undergoing surgery in the healthcare organization. This variable is important because it is determined by the application of prewarming methods on surgical patients before, during and after undergoing surgery.
