NRS 433V Introduction to Nursing Research: Panel's Certainty

U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) provides recommendations for development for diverse population of U.S.  Magnitude of benefit that is associated with each and every recommendation is clinically important as it is used to depict progress made by the treatment. Such treatment befits and recommendation in case quantified can easily depict the course of future action and further recommendation. It can also justify course of treatment further for the patient by providing adequate solution to the same. While the research aimed screening for breast cancer and prostate cancer a lists of recommendations provides a general as well as specific guidelines.

The panel’s certainty or confidence in each recommendation are not very clear to stakeholders. As decision in case of each and every case is different in nature recommendations are varied also for the same. While the panel conducts the study for a vast population from the US there were certain specific recommendations as well. 

3.

The recommendations were primarily developed to cater to and communicate to users of the guidelines. The recommendations meant to guide the users to be able to screen breast and prostate cancer where limited number of patient values, concerns as well as risks were addressed. All specific and detailed coverage of risks, values and concerns were not taken into account and the scope of the research primarily focused on screening methods of the diseases and form a specific user guidelines as well as recommendations that were absent.    

4.

While there were significant costs and downsides associated with each of the screening and diagnosis of recommendation there were associated downsides as well. The downside costs for each and every recommendations not adhered to as each case for every population was different. The course of each and every research were separate hence all possible downsides or costs were not attained to however a generic solution to the same was formed. USPSTF does not at all consider cost effectiveness and majority of its recommendations are based on medical benefits that a patient incurs. 

5.

The study and research conducted was published in various journals especially in journal of Annals of Internal Medicine. Thus, experts reviewing such journals have provided recommendations and several changes has been made into the same study to incorporate greater view from the society. The body has provided several other recommendations in the past and it has provided valuable guidelines to users. As USPSTF is itself an independent panel consisting of various experts who come from primary as well as prevention care. They provide systematic reviews and effective evidences for multiple clinical preventive services. The task force in itself consists of several epidemiologists and physicians appointed by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
