Evidence-based practice
As a nurse practitioner who works in a diverse range of settings spanning from hospitals to nursing homes to clinics, evidence-based practice is part of my daily routine. Virtually all of the facilities at which I work prioritize evidence-based practice given that the facilities' scarce resources means that time, energy, and money cannot be wasted on untested treatments or treatments based merely upon 'hunches.' Evidence-based practice is based upon demonstrated benefits from particular approaches to patient care in recent literature. I strive to remain current in my own knowledge of EBP, frequently reviewing nursing journals and articles online as well as the websites of professional associations so I am aware of new treatments, approaches, and evidence of what works and what does not work in the field of nursing.
Because I practice in various healthcare environments, I do not have a specific, unified EBP model which I use under all circumstances. However, one which I have discovered and which I would like to use more often is that of the ACE Star Model of...
The model is relatively straightforward and flexible and can be tailored to the needs of the patient -- a critical component of EBP when it is applied in a situational fashion. EBP must be both flexible and rigorous. "The Star Model depicts various forms of knowledge in a relative sequence, as research evidence is moved through several cycles, combined with other knowledge and integrated into practice. The ACE Star Model provides a framework for systematically putting evidence-based practice processes into operation" (ACE Health Star Model, 2013, UTHCSA).
The model contains five stages: "1) discovery research, 2) evidence summary, 3) translation to guidelines, 4) practice integration, and 5) process, outcome evaluation" (ACE Health Star Model, 2013, UTHCSA). During the discovery phase, the nurse engages in preliminary research. Then comes the most difficult phase: reviewing the research so the nurse can "synthesize the corpus of research knowledge into a single, meaningful statement of the state of the science" and generate new knowledge (ACE Health Star Model, 2013, UTHCSA). From this knowledge that has been generated from high-quality evidence, clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are issued which reflect the "benefits, harms, and costs of various decision options" and maximize benefits and minimize…

evidence-based practice use in nursing for making decisions using evidences to provide care to patients. This assignment has highlighted five main principles of EBP. These principles should be considered while implementing EBP. Moreover, there are certain challenges and barriers in implementing EBP. This assignment focused on strategies for implementing EBP.

EBP Evidence-based practice model EBP project issue: Obesity "The prevalence of obesity (BMI > 30) has been increasing; currently; at least 27% of the adult population is obese" (McTigue 2003: vii). Despite being one of the most pervasive health problems in modernity, there is relatively little information on obesity available in the annals of evidence-based medicine. This may be due to the fact that obesity is such a complex and multifactorial disease, without
Evidence-Based Practice & Transformational Leadership Change Model Transformational leadership may be defined as an innovation as it is not in wide or general practice across the medical and healthcare fields. An innovation must, by definition be characterized by benefits that are accrued only through adoption of the innovation into practice or general use. Transformational leadership has been shown to have benefits for patients and patient care, as well as for those practice
In fact the inabilty of the sociall work profession to adequaelty and discretely define EBP, specifically the main goal of this work, may in part be to blame for scholalry blunders, such as the use of evidence-based practice in a title of a work that is highly qualitative, anecdotal or even based on a single or small set of case studies. Just as Weed lists the various levels of evidence,
. Even when the child in a home where DV occurs is not physically harmed, most of the time, these children know about the violence. As a result, they may experience emotional and behavior problems (The Domestic Violence…, N.d.). A victim of DV needs to be reminded: She is not alone. She is not at fault. Help is available. In The physician's guide to domestic violence, P.R. Salber and E. Taliaferro (N.d.). about stress
Applying Evidence-Based Research in Nursing Practice What is the difference between research and evidence-based practice projects? Provide an example of EACH ONE and the reasons for the difference. Why should nurses be interested in learning about EBP? (evidence-based practice). Research and evidence-based practice are not synonymous, and the distinctions are not necessarily intuitive. Research is a generic term that holds many different meanings depending on the context in which the term
