Supplemental reading for your Journal Club Policies & Procedures

Initial post due Saturday: Journal Club Group Policies & Procedures

The objectives of the Journal Club Group Discussions are to:

Introduce clinical and biomedical research, including best practice clinical guidelines;

Keep current with new research and use evidence-based practice to guide nursing care;

Develop skills in your ability to read and critically appraise research;

Facilitate your learning of evidence-based practice, which can the bridge gaps between research and clinical practice; and

Promote collaboration, team building, and professional discussions.

Journal Club Groups will meet virtually through your Canvas Journal Club discussion posts. Assignments are linked to the journal articles for review including quizzes.

Each group will initiate their own Journal Club Group Policies & Procedures and post names and dates [for questions 1-2] this week for each of the following:

Designate (or volunteer) to serve as the group discussion leader – one each week [8 in total]; leader will facilitate the discussions (designate the day and time for the virtual meetings, use any mode of communication within the group as long as each member posts on canvas as directed for the grade, designate due dates for responses within the group). Group leader will respond to their own assigned discussion question [if needed] AND in a separate/last post provide a brief (2-3 sentences) synopsis of the group’s discussion about the review article. Partial credit if missing any responses.

Designate (or volunteer) one member each week [8 in total] to search for the article and share with the group.

Each member is responsible for reading the review article, posting their response to the discussion questions, and responding to 2 other posts about the review article. Answers to discussion questions follow the weekly modules, readings and quizzes. Use this post to ask and answer group members’ questions.
