When it comes to practice and execution within the nursing and broader medical spheres, the use of prior lessons, research and experiments is something that is common and pervasive. Two terms that are used in this regard are research utilization and evidence-based practive. Many people conflate these terms as if they are the same. However, that is absolutely not true. They are alike in that they are the genesis and precursor for many methods and practices within the nursing realm. However, there is a distinction between the two. While the two terms are often used interchangeably, there is most certainly a difference.
Analysis
Bussieres et al make the point that the concepts of evidence-based practice (EBP), research utilization (RU) and knowledge translation (KT) are all interrelated. EBP is the “integration of clinical expertise, patient values, and the best research evidence into the decision-making process for patient care” (Bussieres et al, 2016). RU is described as a sub-set of EBP. To be specific, RU is “that process by which specific research-based knowledge is implemented in practice” (Bussieres et al, 2016). While not asked for by the prompt, KT is meant...
One might ask which one of the three is the most common. Many people glom onto using evidence-based practice. However, it is not the most common. Per Bussieres et al, knowledge translation is the most pervasive when it comes to what is used in nursing-related studies. About 75 studies were looked at in total. 35 of them were KT and about 20 each were evidence-based and research utilization. Indeed, EBP came in at 20 and research utilization was 21. In total, EBP was last, albeit not by much. However, both EBP and RU were far behind KT when it comes to the sample used by Bussieres et al (2016). The overall goal of groups like the Institute of Medicine is to have at least 90 percent of all medical decisions being EBP-based by 2020 (Stavor, Zedreck-Gonzalez & Hoffmann, 2017). Regardless of progress in that regard, it is clear that partnership and working together will be pivotal when it comes to any progress that is possible or is to come (Spector & Pinto, 2017).
Conclusion
It is apparent that there are notable gaps when it comes to evidence-based practice. It is trumpeted as a great way to act within…
This is one of the most common forms of research and, for some research questions is clearly a strong design (Ethics in Critical Care Nursing Research, 2005). The research that was done in this article would be considered a non-experimental type. There were two types of observation that were conducted. The first type was that of focus groups and the second being the file audit, both of which are observational
The chief concern of the researcher should be the safety of the research participant. This is carried out by carefully considering the risk to benefit ratio, using all available information to make an appropriate assessment and continually monitoring the research as it proceeds. The scientific researcher must obtain informed consent from each research participant. This should be attained in writing although oral consents are sometimes acceptable after the participant has had
Third, lack of attention to evidence-based practice can lead to inconsistent delivery of care services. Evidence-based practice relates to almost every aspect of health care at every stage of a client's relationship with the institution. For example, evidence-based practice informs the types of questions asked during the diagnostic procedures and might even impact the diagnosis itself (Bennett & Bennett, 2000). Evidence-based practice impacts the methods by which infections are prevented
Nursing Evidence-Based Practice The press for evidence-based practice in nursing and for nurses as consumers of research is driven by a number of substantive factors. The state nursing boards and The Joint Commission (TJC) insist that policies and practices have a foundation in research. The keystone of this trend is that nurses must be able to read nursing research discriminately, understand how medical research relates to practice, and must sufficiently possess

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,
