This chapter introduces the need occasioning by a theoretical framework after a literature review. An issue I found interesting is on how the theoretic framework serves as the basis of the hypothesis developed by the research. To commence, a theoretical framework is explained as the belief an individual holds on the relationship between phenomena. The explanation forwarded by the individual on how these phenomena are related is the theory. The relationship and the theory have to be in agreement with previous research carried out in the problem area. Building a theoretical framework, therefore, includes the process of introducing variables, developing a model that describes ...

Evidence-based Practice

Evidence-Based practice (EBP) is a problem solving approach to the provision of healthcare to patients and families (Bennett, 2009). The history of EBP as a concept can be traced back to the 1970s and 1980s to the works of epidemiologists at McMaster University, Canada. EBP developed partially as a response to the scathing critic of the practice of medicine by Archibald Cochrane (Cohen, Stavri, and Hersch, 2003). Cochrane accused medical practice at the time of not being evidence-based. He argued that the treatments, tests, procedures, and interventions used at the time had no evidence on their effectiveness (Cohen, Stavri, and Hersch, 2003). ...

The full elimination of animal use in medical research may seem as unachievable to some individuals. However, while working with practical goals, the task is quite achievable. The aim of the practical goals lies within reducing the animal use in science laboratories by ensuring the improvement of the conditions within the laboratories where these animals are evaluated and tested. The solution for the animal use problem in medical research was established along a study in 1959 that presented three R`s. The R`s stand for replacing, reducing and redesigning.
