EXPLORATION OF RURAL COMMUNITY DWELLERS' VALUES REGARDING ACUTE RESPIRATORY
INFECTIONS (ARIS): CONNECTING PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS TO EVIDENCED
(WYO-404-06)
Health care
providers are expected to use evidence-based practice (EBP) in making
clinical decisions. EBP is the use of current research knowledge combined
with clinical expertise and patient and family values. Currently, relatively
little is known about individual and family values, beliefs and self-care
practices and in particular rural family values. The purpose of this study
is to explore individual and family values of rural dwellers regarding
values, beliefs and self-care practices related to illness management.
