    Final Reflection

    Evidence-Based Practice
    Evidence-based practice is the conscientious use of current best evidence in making decisions
    about patient care. It is based on the integration of critically appraised research results with the
    clinical expertise, and the clients preferences, beliefs, and values. The main aim of evidencebased practice is to improve client outcomes and occupational performance during therapy
    sessions.
    Throughout all of my courses in this curriculum, especially the research courses with Dr.
    Costa, I have gained skills on how to search for applicable articles using many different search
    engines such as Google Scholar, CINAHL, etc. For the quantitative research paper, my group
    and I studied whether or not longer commute times to school caused an increase in student stress
    levels. The study concluded that commute times did not have a significant effect on perceived
    stress levels. For the qualitative research paper, my group and I studied stress management
    techniques used to cope with stress in graduate students. The study concluded that students used
    positive coping techniques such as physical exercise and meditation, and a few students used
    negative coping techniques such as consuming alcohol and procrastinating. Finally, for the
    systematic review, my partner and I asked the question, What interventions improve motor
    performance skills in children with developmental coordination disorder? The study concluded
    that there is no true gold standard to treat these children, rather multiple interventions should be
    combined to improve motor performance skills.
    Although I was not very interested in research, I realized how important research is and how
    important it is to grow the field of occupational therapy. Requirements for evidence in most of
    my assignments have increased my confidence in finding articles and evidence that I can utilize

    when I enter into the field in a few short months. Before coming to TUN, I had never done a lot
    of research, but with two years of practice, I can now quickly find up-to-date and relevant
    information. One important thing to take away is that research does not stop after I graduate, I
    will continue to improve my skills and continue my education throughout my career by reading
    articles and researching topics.
