Evidence

The application of evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing has created substantial impressions in science, education, and practice in the discipline. The field does not develop new nursing knowledge or validate existing data; rather, it enables medical practitioners to use tried and tested techniques to make clinical decisions. This paper review literature to reveal the way EBP incorporates patient values, preferences, and clinical experiences in nursing practice. The analysis section…

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…

According to Mohammad and Salahshoor (2018) “Despite the emergence and development of evidence-based practice (EBP) in recent years, its adoption continues to be limited.” (p. 25). By use of used Rogers's diffusion of innovation theory, they were able to identify several factors that affect the adoption of Evidence based medicine, including individual innovation, attitude, knowledge, and the perception of evidence based medicine. In my own experience, I have found that attitude of providers…

Best Practices in Presenting Evidence According to Wikipedia, “Evidence, broadly construed, is anything presented in support of an assertion”. In every area, unless we are stating our own opinion, evidence is the fundamental building block for making an argument. Any audience, requires an appropriate amount of evidence to believe in the veracity of a presenter’s argument. In the following writing, I will be going through my recent experience in presenting the topic, “Australia SHOULD NOT cull…

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…

There are eight evidence based practices (EBP), however some would argue as few as six (Bond, 2002) and possibly more than ten (Dixon et al., 2010). They all have their place and vary in amount of evidence and have certain circumstances in which they can provide the best results. The eight EBP discussed are: cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), weight management, skills training, token economies, family psychoeducation, assertive community treatment (ACT), supportive employment (SE), and…

The biggest barriers to the use of evidence-based practice (EBP) in a clinical setting are knowledge and resources. Of the described EBP models the ACE Star model most resembles the framework used within our system. The ACE Star model is a five step process which includes in order, knowledge discovery, evidence summary, translation into practice recommendations, integration into practice and evaluation (DeNisco & Barker, 2016, p. 467). While EBP information and guidelines are regularly…

2011; Gold & Brady, 2003). If an individual or a funder is going to pay for a treatment, so the logic goes, then the treatment should work (Glasner-Edwards & Rawson, 2010). Considering the enduring pervasiveness of treatments that have little evidence of working (National Center on Addiction and Substance Use at Columbia University [CASA], 2012), such a concerted effort…

nurses 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…

On the other hand, evidence-based practice is about utilizing that evidence and applying in clinical decision making(Conner, 2014). This evidence comes from research. The purpose of evidence-based practice is to use the best available evidence when making patient-care decisions. In other words, when we encounter certain situations when providing care to our patients, there will be…
