PurposeThe use of critical appraisal guidelines to assess the validity of research findings is increasingly focused in many health care settings . This idea supports the use of evidence-based practices to provide better information from which some of the research can be applied in public health practice. This paper report aimed to critically evaluate a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial: entitled Chloramphenicol treatment for acute infectious conjunctivitis in children aged 6 months to 12 years with a clinical diagnosis of conjunctivitis in primary care. The article will highlight the key concept of the essay and illustrate some limitations of published essays. It will also focus on the aspect of proper patient selection as well as the quality of the main study. This assessment will also define the fundamental framework for the quality of research evidence that could be used to inform the implementation of practical and policy-based public health programs. BODYAcute infectious conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva. It is recorded as one of the most common eye problems in primary care and accounts for up to 1% of GP consultations in the UK. Some of the clinical features of conjunctivitis include mild swelling of the eyelids and mucopurulent ocular discharge (Fuloria and Kreiter, 2002). The infectious nature of conjunctivitis can be viral, bacterial or allergic, and the diagnosis is usually made on the basis of a clinical history and examination. However, the pathophysiology of conjunctivitis is well described by (Terry Kyle) in Essentials of Pediatric Nursing. When a virus or bacteria comes into contact with the eyelid conjunctiva, the immune system reacts, leading to inflammation. In this paper assessment, middle of paper......the previous 48 hours, or you have signs of serious infection. However, some authors might argue that this essay could still be applied to public health practice because it is well written in a scientific format and documented in a form accessible to academics and practitioners, which could be easily required for individuals wishing to apply this information. Another important aspect of the study is that the benefits of the study outweigh the harms and costs, as the trial shows good results in terms of economic benefit to the public health system, as it can be used to reduce the number of antibiotics prescribed for acute conjunctivitis in patients with acute conjunctivitis. primary health care, although an education program is needed to provide greater knowledge and understanding of the policy change before family physicians can reasonably be successful in planning for reduction in antibiotic prescribing..
