Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing Education Track
Rubin (2009) defines evidence based practice (EBP) as “a process in which practitioners use the most rigorous scientific research evidence available as an important part of the basis for making practice decisions” (12). The process of EBP, as Rubin (2009) further points out, comprises of 5 steps. The first step comprises of formulating a question. On this front, a question that must be answered by evidence is formulated. The question in this case could relate to a practice decision to be made. The next step involves searching for evidence. As Rubin observes, this could involve the utilization of literature databases or search engines to unearth the relevant information relating to the search term in question. Third, we have the critical appraisal of evidence. On this front, one ought to determine not only the applicability, but also the validity and reliability of the sources of information accessed. This is more so the case given that as Rubin (2009) observes, “not all research studies are equally rigorous” (14). As a matter of fact, the author is of the opinion that imagining a research vigor continuum, on the one extreme we would have studies that are relatively strong and clinically...
On the other end, however, would be studies that are fundamentally flawed. Fourth, we have the selection and implementation of the intervention. In essence, this step has got to do with the application of the results in clinical practice. The choice of policy, program, or intervention to be implemented should ideally be influenced by the result of appraisal in the third stage highlighted above (Rubin, 2009). Lastly, we have the evaluation of outcome. Key considerations in this case, therefore, include whether or not the expected outcomes were achieved and how improvements could be made going forward.
The relevance of EBP in nursing practice cannot be overstated. This is more so the case given that in addition to ensuring that the knowledge of nurses is kept up-to-date (via the elimination of ineffective or obsolete practices), it comes in handy in the further enhancement of clinical judgment. Towards this end, therefore, it is also important to note that the EBP interventions that healthcare practitioners acquaint themselves with play a huge role in the further enhancement of patient outcomes and could also help in the minimization of costs.

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
Evidence-Based Practice Translation of Research in Evidence-Based Practice Nursing involves men and women who are willing to help the patients with their skills like health maintenance, recovery of ill or injured people and the treatment. They develop a care plan for the patient sometimes in collaboration with the physicists or therapists.

Refinement of a Nursing Concern into an Evidence-based Practice Proposal Using the Research Process Overview Research is mainly used to generate new knowledge or for the validation of existing knowledge based on a theory. Evidenced-based practice (EBP) is the translation of evidence and applying the evidence to clinical decision-making. Most of the evidence used in EBP stems from research. However, EBP will go beyond the use of research and it will include
In fact, nursing staff should have access to mobile technologies that allow for decisions to be made instantaneously at the bedside. For example, a PDA would allow nurses to access the literature directly from the bedside without leaving the patient's care. This would help integrate the caring aspects of nursing with the more objective aspects of evidence-based practice. 3) Discuss methods and specific plan to revise an unsuccessful project solution If
Nursing BA vs. Associates Nursing Competencies -- Associates vs. Baccalaureates The difference competencies between nurses prepared at the associate-degree level nursing vs. The baccalaureate-degree level are significantly different on many levels. Today's nurses work in a healthcare environment that is undergoing a constant evolution at a speed never before imagined (NLN Board of Governers, 2011). Patient needs have become more complicated; nurses must implement requisite competencies in leadership, health policy, system improvement,
