The ability of people to nurture and care is a natural gift, which is an essential attribute in becoming a good and efficient nurse: however, in order for nurses to render effective care to patient, specific and standardized guidelines needs to be followed. Three of which came from opinion, ritual and research evidence. Today, medical science has been relying on Evidence-base Practice (EBP) and has been the tool of medical research for new discoveries in medical practice. This essay will magnify the definition and examples of opinion, ritual and EBP, and why EBP is a more reliable source to use nowadays, rather than the usual opinion and ritual.

The improvement of science contributed good results in the health industry. Melnyk (as cited in Laibhen-Parkes, 2014), defined EBP as a problem solving method in clinical judgment skills which integrates the finest and updated, clinical expertise, evaluation and patient inclination in healthcare setting. According to studies, patient who receives care based on EBP resulted in better outcomes. The examples that will be shown are sequence of different studies with the use of EBP, incorporating music in the health care management among cancer patients. One remarkable example of EBP is a Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) done by few researchers who first shown how music intervention with nurse presence (MINP) on psycho-physiological manifestations affects cancer patients versus recorded music. The research was conducted to 34 eligible participants at their homes, for two-period crossover trial for 30 minutes. The study was unique that it was one of the first clinical that showed how music becomes more therapeutic with the involvement of nursing presence, in relieving anxiety, depression and sleep quality (Lai, Li, & Lee, 2012). Another example of EBP done by a researcher from Sweden, conducted a qualitative …show more content…
The possible risk of misinformation from the endorsers is most likely to occur during handover period, especially when interrupted. The nurse participants of a study done by a group of researchers expressed their opinions about handovers. One of the nurse participants described nurses handover as a chaotic episodes involving nurses, families, relatives discussions, someone reading, some listens, some don’t, some walks out the room, or talks about irrelevant problems. The study concluded that handovers should be modernized in order to suppress the risks of vulnerability, ensuring resilience to patient care (Drach-Zahavy, Goldblatt, & Maizel, 2015). In the same year, a study conducted by researchers from Canada about the modernization of the nursing handover using an electronic application. Healthcare organizations expect information technology will help improve patient’s safety and improve quality care. The researchers concluded that nurses viewed electronic handover tool would improve nursing knowledge and help in patient’s safety during handovers. It demonstrates specific, structured report and aids in the enhancement of communication between the staff members. (Michaud-Hamilton, Frisch, & Roudsari,
