EBP Nursing
Promoting EBP
The goal of evidence-based practice (EBP) implementation, according to Purdy and Melwak (2009), is to exploit research findings so ". . . that every patient receives the right care every time" (p. 263). The recommended steps for EBP implementation are (1) develop a well-framed question, (2) find the best evidence, (3) critically evaluate scientific findings, (4) implement, and (5) evaluate efficacy. Step 3 seems to be a critical step, because the quality of research findings may not be sufficient to justify EBP implementation. In other words, there should be another step between 3 and 4 where the doctor of nursing practice (DNP)-prepared nurse decides whether the quality of the evidence is sufficient to justify implementation. These steps, however, help to define the role a DNP-prepared nurse can play in EBP implementation.
Yoder and colleagues (2014) distinguish between research utilization and EBP by limiting the former to the implementation of scientific findings; whereas, EBP takes advantage of scientific findings in addition to expert opinions, clinical expertise, and patient feedback. This comparison suggests the role of DNP-prepared nurses in EBP implementation is more than digesting empirical research findings, evaluating evidence quality, and applying the findings to practice, but includes...
The type of change induced by EBP was also broken down by Yoder and colleagues (2014) into instrumental, conceptual, and symbolic utilization, which are defined as changes in nursing practice, cognitive process, and policymaker attitudes. This further defines the role and scope of DNP-prepared nurses in EBP implementation.
Within a multidisciplinary team, the responsibility for EBP and research utilization tends to fall on nurse leaders, managers, and educators (Yoder et al., 2014, p. 36). Based on the findings of Yoder and colleagues (2014), unit nurses tend to rely on nursing leadership and DNP-prepared nurses to be active consumers of research, even if they have been trained in EBP. Accordingly, nursing leaders, especially clinical nurse specialists (CNS) when available, will often represent the driving force behind EBP. Yoder and colleagues (2014) also note that senior nurses may not have had formal EBP training, but that their clinical expertise will be critical to the success of a multidisciplinary EBP team; therefore, senior nurses should be encouraged to take EBP classes offered by the hospital or through a nearby academic institution.
Yoder and colleagues (2014) provided some sense of what is possible in a well-functioning multidisciplinary team, when…

Evidence-Based Practice There is a lot of talk about evidence-based practice in the medical community, and it may seem as though it is being overstated. However, that is definitely not the case. Evidence-based practice is very important in order to make sure healthcare outcomes are the best they can be. Any problematic outcomes can be improved through the use of scholarly inquiry and analysis. Being able to analyze issues properly and
Evidence-Based Practice: Systems Theory and Diffusion of Innovation Theories to Healthcare Delivery and Nursing Practice The ability to acquire accurate and timely information enhances nursing practice and patient outcomes. Search engines and healthcare nursing databases operate in different ways, and it is necessary for healthcare professionals to understand how to access and efficiently use both public and professional resources. Because today the public has greater access to electronic health information, healthcare

Janvnbakht, Hejazi, & Ghasemi (2009) have clearly identified the purpose of their study. They have also stated the importance and relevance of the research topic to the current evidence-based practice. An already diagnosed illness of anxiety and depression is included in the study and evaluation of the history of other psychiatric illness confirmed before the study. The use of participants with an already diagnosed illness facilitates the study of
Evidence-based practice is an approach that has been applied to clinical practice and nursing. Evidence-based practice started initially in medicine and went to fields like education, psychology, nursing and dentistry. It should be noted that the research is based on studies that were carried out and these studies go on to fit the scenario that is currently being dealt with. Treatments that are supported empirically are the ones that are proven
