Business Articles Review: Levels of Evidence

Article reviews provide a direction to understand the knowledge presented in the article and the background of the phenomenon of why and how it happened. The discussion in the article reviews is based on the research that leads the human mind to explore new arenas in a certain profession or way of life. There is no wonder that humans were created for the worship of God and did have a reflection of Him in their much-created image. The purpose of this paper is to provide levels of evidence for the selected articles, a summary description for the reason of the assigning of the evidenced level along biblical integration.

Biblical Integration

If Scripture is quoted, explain how it is integrated into the assignment or article

Article 1 Title: Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of a novel product to remove impacted human cerumen.

Purpose: To assess the safety of a new product in effectiveness in removal of impacted cerumen among adult patients.

Results: Ear difficulties were alleviated, and improvement with treatment was observed.

Level 2

The design of the research was a clinical trial from which the evidence was obtained. The trial is registered with a government authentication number as well.

There was no direct scripture quote found; however, the learnings from Biblical teachings were revealed that the human body is uniquely designed with the complex dependency of one part on the other. The organization, harmony, and integration of all the cells, tissues, and systems depict that they are intricately woven together in the Earth’s depth (Sled, 2018).

Article 2 Title: Self-ear cleaning practices and the associated risk of ear injuries and ear-related symptoms in a group of university students.

Purpose: To identify the self-ear cleaning methods and the associated injuries among university students.

Results: The results revealed that the common method for injury was the use of earbuds, to which the associated risk of injury was 2.4%.

Level 6

The study was qualitative research where the evidence was obtained from a descriptive survey with a self-administered questionnaire, which was made for collecting data from students.

A direct quote from Bible implies that the human body is a temple where God lives, and it has its value; therefore, the value must be held by taking its care (Bell, 2017). The selected article also concluded on the same note that education is required for self-cleaning the ear so that taking care is improved, and less harm is imposed.

Article 3 Title: Does hearing aid use increase the likelihood of cerumen impaction?

Purpose: To evaluate whether the use of a hearing aid increases the probability of cerumen impaction.

Results: The results showed no connection between hearing aid use and cerumen impaction.

Level 7

The study used a retrospective design for obtaining evidence which collects data that has been gained for other purposes previously.

A direct quote from Bible could help in understanding why the use of hearing aids does not cause cerumen impaction. God calls humans to hear the word of God since faith comes along (Cox, 2017). It would be for the reason that God wants the human to hear, fear the Lord and have knowledge about Him.

Article 4 Title: Randomized trial of irrigation and curetting for cerumen removal in young children.

Purpose: To investigate the effectiveness of cerumen removal in young children with three irrigation methods and metal curette.

Results: There was no reduction in cerumen even after successful removal with the use of mentioned methods.

Level 2

The study used a randomized clinical trial for the study conducted, and four treatment groups were created for this purpose. The effects of each of the methods were observed; hence, research required utilization of randomized groups.

A direct quote could help understand the implications of the injuries and pain caused on the parts of the human body, such as in the case of cerumen in young children. The treatment methods were explored for the efficacy of each of them; however, Bible indicates that God imposes wounds for the healing of man himself (Open Bible, n.a.). The mercy of God should be sought in any condition, either in pain or not, as Lord listens to man whenever he calls to Him.

Conclusion

The human body, its complex systems, functions, and workings, and its care regimens play an integral part in interpreting human existence, which has been the key research topic for healthcare for centuries. The survival of the fittest has been an agenda for all humans, for which science has been struggling day and night to understand the phenomenon required for the very purpose. The above table elaborates on the type of study design used in each selected article and the kind of research conducted for cerumen removal of the injuries caused by the same reason. The formulation of this table also assisted in finding the linkages between the Bible’s teachings and direct quotes about the topic being discussed in the articles, which is a clear indication that the teachings that were bestowed upon humankind years ago are still applicable in practical life. Scientific research has made progress in leaps which is still based on the foundations of the Bible. It is the faith of humanity that has helped him made this progress within no time.
