Word count 2500 words (±10%). Aim of the assessment. The aim of this assessment is to enable you to demonstrate your evidence based practice knowledge and abilities. Your clinical scenario will act as a trigger for you to demonstrate your ability to practise and implement the principles of evidence based practice. Coursework 1 will assess your abilities in the following module learning outcomes: 1. Select appropriate techniques and strategies for locating evidence from a variety of sources. 2. Demonstrate an understanding of the value of different types of evidence through the application of evidence specific critical appraisal tools. 3. Apply findings from multiple sources of evidence to inform the development of person centred health and social care plans and interventions. Your clinical scenario For coursework 1 You are a community based occupational therapist working for a large primary care trust, in a GP surgery. For a number of years you have been aware that a large number of adults visit the surgery with low back pain. No-one within the multidisciplinary team addresses this service user need, in terms of offering intervention, support, guidance and education. You therefore, decide to explore the possibility of developing a new multidisciplinary service for adults with low back pain. You have done some preliminary searching and have found an NHS fact sheet on back pain http://www.nhs.uk/news/2014/03March/Pages/Back-pain-leading-cause-of-disability-study-finds.aspx This stimulates your interest further into exploring this potential avenue for service development. You need to present a business case for the service to be funded. To support the development of your business case, you need to explore the evidence base for intervention (which may include occupational therapy) with adults with low back pain. As part of the assignment brief, you will need to critique two research articles which have relevance to the scenario above. You can choose either to use the papers provided below, or to critique two articles that you have independently discovered. If you choose to use two different research articles, ensure that one article has collected quantitative data, and one article has collected qualitative data. The research articles must have relevance to the scenario. Articles: Lang, E., Leibig, K., Kastner, S., Neundorfer, B., Heuschmann, P.
