Objective: The objective of this research project is to answer the question, how are librarians collaborating to teach evidence-based practice (EBP) and research literacy to students and residents in Clinical Pastoral Education programs nationwide? My hypothesis is that CPE programs are collaborating with libraries to access resources but are not as likely to collaborate with librarians to teach evidence-based practice and research literacy.
Methods:
Methods: There are over 300 Association of Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE) accredited Level I/II Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) programs Programs (acpe.edu). After submitting the proposal for this project to the institutional IRB, I will develop a survey and send it to CPE program managers or certified CPE educators at each program to ask them if they collaborate with the library in any way and specifically when teaching EBP or research literacy. I will be using Qualtrics to develop the survey and NVivo 12 Pro and Microsoft Excel to analyze the data collected.
Results:
Results: Preliminary results will be reported at the Medical Library Association Annual Conference 2022 and this section will be updated accordingly prior to the conference. These preliminary results will include identification of the range of ways that collaboration happens between libraries/librarians and CPE programs in different contexts.
Conclusions:
Conclusion: Preliminary conclusion points will be collected and analyzed prior to the Medical Library Association Annual Conference 2022 and this section will be updated accordingly at that time.
