Learning outcomes:
Primary Studies in Health Care
After successfully completing this module, students will have the following skills and competencies:
.
Knowledge and Comprehension:
• distinguish between different types of studies for different questions and know the respective advantages and disadvantages of each.
• describe common study designs for diagnostic, epidemiologic, and randomized controlled trials.
• explain the meaning of the confidence interval and estimate the statistical certainty of a result appropriately using this.
The Use, Application, and Generation of Knowledge:
• Students will be able to calculate and interpret the statistical parameters for the quality of a diagnostic test and the evaluation of epidemiological studies.
• They will be able evaluate empirical research findings in terms of the strengths and weaknesses of the study designs used.
Scientific Self-Concept/Professionalism:
• Students will understand the use of different research designs in health care and be able to develop a professionally justified position with this knowledge.
• They will be able evaluate empirical research findings in terms of the strengths and weaknesses of the study designs used.
Evidence-Based Decision Making
After successfully completing this module, students will have the following skills and competencies:
.
Knowledge and Comprehension:
• Students will be able to explain the importance of science-based practice from the perspective of health professions.
• They will be able to define basic terms related to the concept of evidence-based decision making.
• They will be able to describe the concept of evidence-based decision making.
• They will be able explain the importance of the so-called best available evidence for decision-making.
• They will be able to explore and incorporate the needs and preferences of those affected.
• They will be able to critically discuss the informed decision making model in light of their own personal and professional experiences.
• They will be able to distinguish between different types of studies for different questions.
• They will be able to describe the structure, as well as essential goals and tasks of the German Network for Evidence-Based Medicine.
The Use, Application, and Generation of Knowledge:
• They will be able to apply individual steps of evidence-based decision-making to exemplary cases during the course (formulate questions, literature research, critical evaluation, application).
• They will be able to critically evaluate research findings with respect to the research methods used and their implementation in health care practice.
Communication and Cooperation:
• They will be able to advocate on behalf of vulnerable individuals and groups as stakeholders in health care interventions and programs.
• They will be able to reflect upon and take into account the different perspectives of those involved/affected in joint discourse with their fellow students.
Scientific Self-Concept/Professionalism:
• Students will have developed a critical attitude toward health care information.
