Learning unit contents
In higher education, many opportunities are offered to students to enable them to become independent in searching, evaluating and using scientific information according to an evidence-based approach. This course represents one such opportunity.
The purpose of this theoretical and practical training is
1) to teach students how to search relevant scientific documents/information, using the most appropriate resources and developing a critical approach on available information;
2) to introduce students to scientific writing, in particular by teaching them to cite their bibliographical references correctly.
The knowledge and skills acquired on this course will be useful both throughout students' academic studies (for example, in completing lecture notes or producing work) and in their professional career (for example, in finding information to justify/support a decision in the context of the "evidence-based practice").
The course focuses on the following topics:
- scientific publications in nursing ;
- tools for retrieval of specialized information pertaining to nursing;
- the process of searching for evidence (advanced methods);
- writing a scientific paper: tips, plagiarism and rules on citing references.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- explain the research pillar of evidence-based practice;
- describe the features and functioning principles of the different resources and tools serving to optimize scientific evidence searching ;
- search for evidence;
- understand and apply the main recommendations when writing a scientific paper and correctly cite their references when writing a document.
