Evidence-based nursing is the need of time in order to ensure that the patient outcome is improved and enhanced. Instead of relying only on the information acquired through the nursing education, nurses should incorporate new researches and studies into their daily clinical routine and practices. Despite of its importance, the approach of evidence-based nursing is still not fully registered in the minds of the people and requires clarification. Apart from this there are several situational factors which also hinders the application of this approach in the practical environment.
In this report an attempt has been made to understand the basic concept of evidence-based nursing and the role of research in it. Along with this report presents the use of evidence-based nursing in the future and the effect of this approach on other people.
EVIDENCE-BASED NURSING:
Evidence-based nursing is the new approach or technique which strive to cover the gap existing between the theoretical knowledge, research, and the actual practice. This method emphasize on the use of research findings in the process of providing health solutions to the patients and managing their issues and problems related to health. By integrating best fact and evidence from the research study with the expertise in clinical practices, preferences of the patients, and available resources, evidence-based nursing focus on improving the decision making related to the health care provided to the patients (Penz & Bassendowski, 2006).
With the use of evidence-based nursing the nurses can get out of the old and traditional clinical...
The profession of nursing is one of the most noble and respected professions and this calls for the incorporation of the best possible practices and knowledge in order to improve the process of patient care.
One of the problem faced in the implementation of the evidence-based nursing is that many experienced and qualified nurses are not aware of this concept and face issues while implementing it in the practical environment. The job of the nurses requires extensive exposure to information. If nurses only rely on the knowledge and information gathered in the process of education when they were students, it will not be possible for them to perform their duties effectively and efficiently (Penz & Bassendowski, 2006).
There are certain individual and organizational factors which hinder the application of the evidence-based nursing. Nurses lack the skills which are necessary to analyze and evaluate the research studies and evidences. Apart from this there are some hospitals and organizations setting act as barriers in the process of implementing evidence-based nursing (Colyer & Kamath, 1999).
USE OF EVIDENCE-BASED NURSING AND OTHER EVIDENCE IN FUTURE:
With the ongoing and rapid changes it has become essential to incorporate the new information and technologies in the process of patient care and in the nursing practices. The effective use of evidence-based nursing is heavily dependent on the nurses. They should have the ability of critically analyzing and assessing the research sources…

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
Nursing is a tough profession to perform well. There are constant innovations and changes in healthcare that make research and education a top priority among nurses to achieve the goal of providing high quality care. Evidence-based practice offers nurses a way to use the research continuously developed to create strategies and techniques that better suit the needs of patients. However, it is a daunting task that many nurses have not

Evidence-Based Nursing and Research In the field of nursing, understanding how to apply specific research can help everyone to provide more effective care to patients. This is because the techniques and ideas that are discussed will have an impact on how they are applied. To fully understand this we will examine two different articles that are discussing specific quantitative and qualitative techniques in the field. Once this occurs, is when we
Evidence-based nursing practice allows nursing students into developing an understanding of evaluation methods for healthcare research and integrating their findings into practice for he improvement of their practice, education and management of nursing practice. It is a learning method, which introduces nursing students into the process of using evidence in their practice. The nursing practice and handling of patients demand the best practices from nurses (Williams, & Wilkins, 2008).
Nursing Theory Laura Polk's theory of resilience holds that an individual has the ability to rise above adversity. There are a number of factors that contribute to how this occurs -- dispositional, relational, situational and philosophical factors all play into this ability to be resilient (Jackson, 2015). This theory has significant implications for nursing practice, and can be evaluated through the lens of evidence-based practice. Polk's Theory of Resilience Individuals rise above adversity Dispositional,
