to develop and appreciate the process of integrating evidence and research conclusions into their clinical decision-making. Evidence-based practice (EBP) is one reliable process that assists in efficient clinical decision-making (Wong & Myers, 2015). This process has emerged as a means of improving clinical practice from a culture of nursing guidelines derived from authoritarian traditions, to practice developed upon the current evidence-based research (Aitken et al., 2011). EBP has five…

you have the evidence and practice in order to implement the care efficiently. As part of the Nursing Integrating Concepts this semester there has been a huge emphasis on evidence and how this backs up the type of care, we as nurses should provide to patients. In this essay I will be discussing what evidence is in the form of infection control in relation to the case study of Marjorie Templeton and how it is relevant to the care that is provided to her. The three main evidence based practices…

Evidence for Pressure Injury Prevention Nursing is no longer just about providing care at the bedside. The nurse is challenged to provide the best patient care possible. This elevated level of care can be achieved by implementing the use of evidence-based practice (EBP). EBP can be defined as the use of recent research, combined with nursing experience, and patient standards (LoBiondo-Wood & Haber, 2014). In this paper, I will discuss a change in policy my hospital recently implemented, why the…

Evidence based practice is so important in the current healthcare world. When evidence based practice is at the center of any organization, there is great improvement in practice and patient outcome. “Only 55% of the time, patients get the evidence-based practice needed for their plan of treatment (IOM 2001). The institute for healthcare improvement, launched 100,000 Lives Campaign enrolled more than 3,000 hospitals, representing an estimated 75 percent of U.S. hospitals beds, which implemented…

Topic and Thesis Much attention is being paid to “evidenced-based practice” (EBP) in the health services (Duncan & Reese, 2012; Glasner-Edwards & Rawson, 2010; Wells, Kristman-Valente, Peavy, & Jackson, 2013), whether it be medical or psychosocial (Pedersen, 2007). The field of substance use treatment is no exception (Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs [ACMD], 2013; Buck, 2011; Gold & Brady, 2003). If an individual or a funder is going to pay for a treatment, so the logic goes, then the…

also common practice for researchers and psychologists to work towards a joint effort to form such plans as well. The article, Evidence-Based Practice in Psychology written by the APA Presidential Task Force on Evidence-Based Practice (2006) talks about the method of Evidence-Based practice and how to practice it efficiently. The goal of this paper is to define Evidence-Based practice and to describe the three main components of EBPP. Another aspect of the paper is to provide information about…

Evidence-Based Practice Proposal - Section E: Change Model Implementation of evidence-based practice to create change in the clinical arena is the challenging task for the clinicians and research expertise. In the context of the implementation of EBP, various ‘change models’ were innovated for systematic guidance to assist the clinicians with their expectation for the change align with their organization (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2015, p.274). The author was in a position to chose the…

Section D: Solution Description The proposed solution in the evidence-based practice (EBP) project is the plan to overcome an identified problem. It should be reasonable and accomplishable within the time frame and the budget constraints. The evaluation of the outcomes should be quantifiable by the empirical evidence (Roberts & Yeager, 2004). The evaluation will enable one to determine the limitations in the implementation, its correction and to support the desired effects to get the best…

becoming more evidence based, leading to improved psychological assessments and treatments. This paper will be a summary of the article, “Evidence Based Practice,” as well as a critique of the strengths and weaknesses. Evidence Based Practice in Psychology (EBPP) is defined as the “integration of the best available research with clinical expertise in the context of patient characteristics, culture, and preferences” (APA, 2006, p. 273). There are three main components of EBPP: best evidence,…

The concept of race has historically been flawed at best. This type of human categorization, which draws no basis of biological evidence, has been used for centuries to successfully subjugate large groups of people, paving the way for white supremacists to gain even more emotional, and ergo economic, control over the American working class. Patrick Appel is not the first to delve into the myth of “race”, but he does offer a well-rounded, professionally composed vindication that responds to…
