Nursing Research & Evidenced-Based Practice
The objective of this study is to examine how evidence-based practice and nursing research are supported and implemented throughout the organization. Secondly, this study will examine the nurses' role in research and evidence-based practice, the steps sued for research and evidence-based practice and the model for evidence-based practice.
Role of Nurse in Research and Evidence-Based Practice
Evidence-based practice is a term that is used to define the "conscientious use of current best evidence in making decisions about patient care." (Bauer, 2010, p.1) Evidence-based practice is an approach for problem solving that incorporates the following:
(1) A systematic search for and critical appraisal of the most relevant evidence to answer a burning clinical question;
(2) One's own clinical expertise; and (3) Patient preferences and values (Bauer, 2010, p.1)
There are several steps involved in the evidence-based practice including: (1) examination of the research evidence; (2) obtaining information from research and combining it with clinical experiences, resources that are available and then considering the patient's preference in determining the best possible care for the...
(Bauer, 2010, p1.) The goal of evidence-based practice is bringing about an increase in the speed in obtaining knowledge from research and integrating that into the care of the patient. (Bauer, 2010, paraphrased)
II. Model
Evidence-based practice has resulted in several models that are commonly used. The model reviewed in this study and used in the organization at focus in this study is the Iowa Model. This model is reported to use "key triggers that can be either problem focused or knowledge focused to lead the clinical in utilization of the components of this model." (Bauer, 2010, p.1) This model involves the first step of generation of a question form a problem or "as a result of becoming aware of new knowledge." (Bauer, 2010, p.1) The second step in the Iowa Model is the determination if there is relevance to organizational priorities." (Bauer, 2010, p.3) If sufficient evidence exists, the third step involves a pilot of the practice change being performed. When there is not sufficient evidence the model supports that "new evidence should be generated through research." (Bauer, 2010, p.3)
Therefore, two outcomes to this model exist: (1) institution of a practice change based on the research available if following a trial period evaluation of the trial reveals "there is…

Nursing Informatics NEW COMPETENCIES Nursing informatics or NI is a field specialty that blends and integrates the nursing, computer and information sciences in managing and transferring information and insights in nursing (Anderson, 2008; Coleman et al., 2010). It is aimed at assisting in the decision-making function of patients, nurses and other participants in patient care through information structures, processes and technology. Nurses who integrate this specialty into their regular practice are called
Nursing Theory Caring as an integral nursing concept can be viewed from diverse perspectives. It can be an attribute, a complex set of behaviors, or an attitude. This has made some people believe that it is impossible to improve and measure it although there is evidence that both improvement and measurement are possible. People recognize that caring models of professional practice affect the service users, health outcomes, healthcare staff, and ultimately

Research Participants • Legal and ethical issues relevant to nursing research Any kind of breach done with regards to the legal aspects has the likelihood of becoming an issue for litigation. The usual legal concerns associated with nursing research can be split into three: Ownership of Data: This can be a legal issue for nursing research that is the topic of a contract and can also come about as a result of rivaling research
