Il corso mira a fornire agli studenti magistrali gli strumenti metodologici avanzati a supporto delle decisioni dei professionisti sanitari con ruoli organizzativi e/o dirigenziali.
In particolare verranno forniti gli strumenti per per governare il processo di Evidence-Based Practice (EBP). Al termine del corso, lo studente sarà in grado di ormulare quesiti clinico-assistenziali complessi, condurre ricerche bibliografiche avanzate nelle principali banche dati sanitarie e biomediche e valutare criticamente la qualità metodologica della letteratura scientifica per trasferire le migliori evidenze nella pratica clinica, organizzativa e formativa.

Tradurre un dubbio clinico-organizzativo in un quesito strutturato secondo il modello PICO o sue varianti.
La ricerca documentale: Saper interrogare in modo avanzato almeno MEDLINE (via PubMed), Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL e Scopus utilizzando operatori booleani, vocabolari controllati (MeSH/Emtree) e filtri metodologici.
Critical Appraisal: Saper identificare i bias (distorsioni) ed applicare check-list internazionali standardizzate per giudicare la validità interna ed esterna di trial clinici, studi osservazionali, studi qualitativi e revisioni sistematiche.

Il processo di Evidence Based Practice; la formulazione del Quesito Clinico (PICO); architettura delle banche dati; vocabolari gerarchici (MeSH); le stringhe di ricerca avanzate su MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL, Cochrane; studi clinici randomizzati (RCT), studi di Coorte, Caso-Controllo, Studi Cross-sectional, Revisioni Sistematiche e Meta-analisi: principali differenze e livello di evidenze per un corretto orientamento nelle scelte decisionali; Strumenti di valutazione del rischio di bias: strumenti CASP, Cochrane RoB 2, ROBINS-I, scale Newcastle-Ottawa; Linee guida e sistemi di grading dell'evidenza (GRADE); Trasferibilità dei risultati nel contesto clinico e/o organizzativo.

The course aims to provide master's students with advanced methodological tools to support the decisions of healthcare professionals in organizational and/or managerial roles. In particular, tools will be provided to govern the Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) process. At the end of the course, the student will be able to formulate complex clinical-care questions, conduct advanced bibliographic research in major healthcare and biomedical databases, and critically evaluate the methodological quality of the scientific literature to transfer the best evidence into clinical, organizational, and training practice.

Translate a clinical-organizational doubt into a question structured according to the PICO model or its variants.
Document Search: Know how to advanced query at least MEDLINE (via PubMed), Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and Scopus using Boolean operators, controlled vocabularies (MeSH/Emtree), and methodological filters.
Critical Appraisal: Knowing how to identify biases (distortions) and apply standardized international checklists to judge the internal and external validity of clinical trials, observational studies, qualitative studies, and systematic reviews.

The Evidence-Based Practice process; Clinical Question Formulation (PICO); database architecture; hierarchical vocabularies (MeSH); advanced search strings in MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL, and Cochrane; randomized clinical trials (RCTs), cohort studies, case-control studies, cross-sectional studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses: Main differences and level of evidence for correct orientation in decision-making choices; Risk of bias assessment tools: CASP instruments, Cochrane RoB 2, ROBINS-I, Newcastle-Ottawa scales; Evidence grading guidelines and systems (GRADE); Transferability of findings to the clinical and/or organizational context.
