Nursing Research Evidence-Based Vs. Research Term Paper

The deployment of evidence-based practice that makes use of cutting-edge research is perhaps most obviously manifest in the greater knowledge research has given about demographic shifts as to who may or may not be vulnerable to particular diseases or conditions. Many years ago, Type II Diabetes was known as adult-onset diabetes, as insulin resistance was associated with obesity, sedentary behavior and other factors assumed to be prevalent amongst adults, not children. Now a child exhibiting the common symptoms of excessive thirst, weakness, dizziness will likely be tested for this condition, because obesity has become more prevalent amongst the young.

A research utilization model might provide, however, additional counseling to the nurse practitioner as to what course of treatment to prescribe. A child with more ample family and social support to lose weight, for example, and exercise, might, according to clinical data, be able to reverse the progress of the disease and forego the need for more intensive drug and insulin therapy. Research utilization might also provide guidance in examples of how diabetes treatment has been most effective in a holistic treatment of the entire family, to eliminate some of the mutable causes that contributed to the child's condition in the first place. These causes will vary depending on the family's lifestyle, location, and demographics, and thus the prescription of foods to eat and avoid, support...

...

Ultimately, the idea of 'research utilization' may be, because of its flexibility, more useful for nurses when engaged in clinical practice.

During the monitoring phase, it was found that the fatigue levels of cancer patients after treatment were significantly improved. The article suggests that therapies other than exercise, as well as alternative exercise therapies can benefit from further research and refinement. Reaching the stage of Evidence-based practice in the Grove model will therefore be a process of increasingly refined and focused research. The Virginia Henderson theory of nursing focuses upon the

The evidence base suggests that approaches such as exercise, screening for treatable risk factors, energy conservation and activity management, progressive muscle relaxation, and education and anticipatory guidance are likely to be effective in reducing fatigue. Anticipating which interventions are likely to be effective can assist clinicians in the design of a multi-component fatigue treatment approaches. Clinicians also can use these results to examine their own practices, identifying intervention strategies
