Background of the Study In the fast moving world, research has important intellectual equipment for the human beings to change their lifestyles according to needs and necessities of the society. Research opens new frontier in all fields like medicine, agriculture, business, education and also in nursing. Nursing research is research that provides evidence used to support nursing practices. Nursing as an evidence – based area of practice has been developing since the time of Florence Nightingale to the present day, where many nurses now work as researchers based in universities as well as in the health care setting (Ireland, 2013). Nurse education places emphasis upon the use of evidence from research in order to rationalize …show more content…
An attitude may be defined as a predisposition to respond in a favorable or unfavorable Manner with respect to a given object (Oskamp and Schults, 2005). The focus of this project is on the attitudes of students nurse and midwife towards research taught and project writing in school of nursing and midwifery Mkar, Gboko local Government Area of Benue state. Attitude towards research denotes interest or feeling of “like or dislike’’. It also means approach assumed by the individual for solving problems assessing ideas and making decision. Student’s beliefs and attitudes have the potential to either facilitate or inhibit learning (Yara, …show more content…
It is also commented that students are research phobic and that research has then become imitative, repetitive, instrument oriented rather that goal oriented. Sridevi (2010) said that other factors that affect the quality of research conducted by students are facilities available, Supervisors; attitude of both staff and students towards research, confidence e t c. Positive staff attitude toward research enhances enthusiasm and credibility among the students. One’s attitude towards research influences mentally how a person approach research, including all the work and human interactions related to that research. A positive attitude enable a person to solve the problem quickly where as a negative attitude hampers the efforts in research both technical proficiency and in terms of interpersonal relationships that research
a. This portfolio shows the educational journey through the BSN program at Western Governors University(WGU). The curriculum at WGU was very challenging, nonetheless it prepared me to become a safe and effective nurse. The BSN curriculum provided avenues to keep me up to date with safe practices and learn how to master therapeutic communication. WGU also helped me sharpen my critical thinking skills in order to make decisions quickly and provide safe and effective care to patients. As the result of my training, I am ready to embark in the field of nursing and do my best to make a difference in my patients lives.
The purpose of this discussion is to define research and evidenced-base practice in nursing. I will also provide a sample question for each definition. Evidence Based Practice vs Nursing Research Evidence based practice is defined as the collection, evaluation, and integration of valid research. It is combined with clinical expertise and an understanding of patient and family values as well as preferences for informed clinical decision making (LoBiondo-Wood & Haber, 2014).
Nursing research is providing evidence used to support nursing practices, generate new knowledge, and promote evidenced-based nursing practice, ensure credibility of nursing profession, provide accountability for nursing practice and document effectiveness of nursing care. Nursing research also focuses on the understanding and relieving of the symptoms
Philosophy of Nursing Everyone’s values and beliefs about the profession of nursing are all different. The four concepts of nursing are interrelated and all mean something different to every person, too. Throughout this paper, I will be reflecting on my values and beliefs about nursing through the four concepts while comparing them to a nursing theorist with views that are most similar to my own.
The two Evidence Based Practice models that I decided to compare are the Johns Hopkins Nursing model and the ACE Star model. The Johns Hopkins Nursing model “helps bedside nurses translate evidence to clinical, administrative, and educational nursing practice” ( p. 302). The Johns Hopkins Nursing model focuses on nursing and nursing practice. The model helps nurses translate evidence-based practice into practice and enhances nursing autonomy, leadership, and engagement with interdisciplinary colleagues (). While on the other hand the ACE Star model focuses taking several forms of knowledge and turning it into evidence-based practice.
The term Evidenced-based practice (EBP) is one of the most talked about concepts in healthcare. Nursing scholars, worldwide, have sought to provide healthcare workers with the evidence from research to be transform this into clinical care. To ease this transference of data into practice, scholars have developed EBP models. These models direct the researcher with the process from hypothesis to implementation of the data. The perplexity of EBP is that the data can come from research, clinical experience, patients, or local context and environment (Rycroft-Malone, et al., 2012).
Integrating humanities and sciences in nursing is important and allow individuals to enhance their knowledge and critical thinking skills in their nursing practice. The information I learn in this course has taught me that evidence-based research findings can be used to shape future practice settings going forward. As a change agent, I will change and implement new evidence-based care to my practice to deliver high-quality
1. CONCEPT 1-EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE IN NURSING This concept was deducted from module 2 with the topic “Concept of Evidence-based practice”. Evidenced-based nursing is a way of making decision and providing nursing care that is based on clinical issues and combine it with the most current, relevant research that is available on that issue. Evidence based nursing utilize the most up to date method of providing care, which have been proven via assessing high quality studies and statistically with significant research findings.
In the clinical setting, the nurses’ expertise can be used to make clinical assessments and recommendations for routine care at a lower cost than a physician visit. This would increase the number of patients seen and increase the quality of the care provided. The advance practice nurse would be able to hone in on preventative measures and increase patient education. The advance practice nurse can also make recommendations about practice changes needed to facilitate better health outcomes through the use of evidence-based practice. Nursing leaders are aware of how important nursing science is to provide needed evidence to transform practice, even though, finding the time and resources to support any research activity is often challenging (Stone, 2017).
Evidence based practice is a process that is often used by nurses to assistance with making autonomous decisions whenever possible. It is the development of clinical nursing standards based on what research demonstrates as effective care. In time of clinical decisions, it requires nurses to use proven scientific data or information instead of depending on their instincts, past experiences or advices. According to Frinkelman, evidence based practice helps in identifying and assessing high quality, clinically relevant research that can be applied to clinical practice as well as the development of policy. “EBN emphasizes ritual, isolated and unsystematic clinical experiences, ungrounded opinions, and traditions as a basis for nursing practices,
It’s important to use evidence based practices in nursing because it creates solutions to the patient’s needs, it improves the overall care of the patients, reduces harm and helps support nurse’s actions and clinical judgments. Sackett (2000) says that evidence based practice is looking at the best evidence along with using your clinic expertise in helping you to make a decision about the patient’s individuals care. Outline the process undertaken when searching for credible and relevant evidence to support Part 2 of the workbook. (Justify and support answers with credible and relevant evidence whilst adhering to UWS referencing guidance). The first element of finding credible and relevant evidence would be to research journals and articles, as
According to people/superiors, nurses can use the right substantive arguments on behalf of a patient’s interests or needs. They accept that this expertise is important for patients because it is related to the quality of
As mentioned before, an increase of technology use is a major influence on nursing, the introduction of evidence-based practice in the professional field and in the educational environment plays a role in a nurse’s everyday life. Also, there are the changes in society itself that benefit the nursing profession. For example, the breaking of stereotypical gender roles in society results in male nurses
This process of learning provides us with experiences about; ourselves, others and the environment, in essence it provides a structure for our thinking. In addition, Buresh and Gordon (2000) stated that a nurse philosophy is hinged on the nurse’s values and beliefs regarding the profession and is acquired through observation and experiences over time. In fact, a person’s belief indicates what he
Providing care to a patient is a particularly challenging process that requires a great deal of effort from a nurse. A nurse’s ability to give quality care to their patient is an important aspect to a patient’s life both now and in the future. As such, nurses must exhibit specific qualities in their practice in order to maintain the best standard of care for their patients. Given this, I believe that the standards of knowledge, advocacy, and self-awareness are foundational to the nursing practice and to a nurse’s capacity to provide quality patient care. Knowledge
