Study Notes
- Against the Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) approach, a practitioner uses only proven effective modalities or treatments
- Misconceptions about EBP: reduction of treatment options for under-studied modalities, challenging to study complex clinical situations, and exclusion of factors that can't be applied to complex clinical situations
- Concerns about undermining naturopathic philosophy: less individualization, loss of the 'art' of practice
- Studies show an average improvement, but it doesn't guarantee patient benefit
- Gold standard studies are expensive and don't always exist, reducing emphasis on professional judgement and creativity
- Evidence-based practice (EBP) process: Ask, Acquire, Appraise, Apply, Assess
- Critical appraisal: systematically examining research evidence to judge its trustworthiness and value
- Empirical method of acquiring knowledge through observation and experimentation
- Correlation: measurement of the size and direction of the relationship between two variables
- Causation: relationship where one variable (independent variable) causes the other (dependent variable)
- Confounding variable: an additional variable causing a change in the dependent variable
- Bias: anything that systematically influences the conclusion or distorts comparisons, including selection, performance, attrition, detection, and observation
- Principles of causation: temporality, strength, dose-response, reversibility, and considerations for confounding.
