I will achieve this by focusing on evidence-based practice, evaluation of results from nursing practices, and focusing on quality improvement (Vincent et al., 2010). As a DNP practice scholar, I will conduct research as a means of creating new knowledge within the nursing home clinical settings. The new knowledge can be applied to improving standards of practice (Vincent et al.,
I find the uptake of evidence-based practice is one of the fields that has profoundly affected the paradigm shift and is woven into each of the nursing fields, and since wide researches have been conducted so far, it imperative to note that the available material will equip and provide needed assistance. Stevens (2013) argues that the use of the knowledge which is gained from quality improvement efforts will definitely generate evidence needed to make systems improvements and transform healthcare. Therefore, utilizing the available resources in addition to conducting further researches, exploring on well-intended expert opinions and working together with the willing partners from the academy for discovering what works to improve health care guarantees growth of the profession. It is true that there a number of challenges to improving the profession, but there is no magic bullet for bringing success into the practice, several strategies are needed. Furthermore, what works in the context of care should be identified and the context variables implementation.
• Apply relevant findings/evidence from research to develop practice guidelines to improve clinical practice and practice environments (Therapeutic Interventions, “Effective Communication in a Variety of Modes,” Essential III). • Disseminate findings from evidence-based practice to improve clinical outcomes. (Communications, “Ethics and Social Justice,” Essentials III, VI, VII). Student learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the clinical applications of evidence-based practice course student will be able to: • Describe evidence-based practice (EBP) to include the components of research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient/family values. • Explain the role of evidence in determining quality care for patient’s in the clinical setting.
INTRODUCTION: This contextual project consists of 10 concept from the block 1 study with the title “Research and Nursing Research”. The meaning of each concept will be clarified, critically analyzed and applied to social context, personal life and current professional life. The usefulness of the concept to the current world will also be explained. 1. CONCEPT 1-EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE IN NURSING This concept was deducted from module 2 with the topic “Concept of Evidence-based practice”.
Evidence-based Practice and its Importance in Psychology The impact a therapist has on a client could be life-altering in a positive or detrimental way. One of the most crucial elements of a therapist’s job is to provide their patients with the most effective treatments available. Evidence-based practice is used within the field of psychology to assure that psychologists are using quality therapy techniques with their clients and the importance of this practice is prevalent in a variety of ways. Evidence-based practice is defined as “the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values” (American Psychological Association [APA], 2006, p. 284). The term had originated from the Institute of Medicine, but is
Evidence based practice and how is it relative to nursing practice Nursing practice is often guided by tradition rather than evidence-based practices. Over the past two decades nursing has gone through vast changes. Patient care has shifted to evidence-based practice which uses current research and historical evidence to implement care and improve patient outcomes. EBP integrates clinical expertise, patient values and preferences, and critical appraisal of relevant evidence to clinical questions (Chrisman, Jordan, Davis, & Williams, 2014). Furthermore, evidence-based practice indicates when making decisions about patient care based on quality evidence reduces complications and lowers healthcare cost (Brewer, 2011).
I expected to gain an appreciation for nursing research and ways research can be implicated into nursing practice. Throughout the semester I was able to participate in some of the research that was done by the Honor students and was told the results and findings were to be discussed at Eta Beta Day. 2. The most important thing I learned about nursing research at
INTRODUCTION This contextual project work is consisting of 10 concepts from the module entitled ‘’ Research and Nursing Research’’ block 3. Each one of the concepts will be described in terms of its meaning, will be critically analyzed for its real life application and will be followed by some reference of the current research evidence. Real life application will explore a possible relationship of the concept with personal, social or professional life. 1. Concept- 1 Evidenced Based Practice { EBP} This concept is taken from Research and Nursing Research block 3, module 2 entitled ‘’Evidenced Based Practice’’ History in 1980 has it that ‘’evidenced based practice’’ came into being as a result of other clinicians other than physicians recognized
Evidence based practice holds a high level of importance in the field of professional nursing. Nursing research adds to the current knowledge base and simultaneously supplies trustworthy data that can be used as the basis for practice (Kearney-Nunnery, 2016, p. 79) . The implementation of the practices gained through research, and proven through evidence, contribute to the profession of nursing, the welfare of the patient, and the health industry. In the field of nursing, evidence based practice provides the nurse with the most up to date and proven interventions. It increases the nurses overall knowledge and expertise, which makes them a higher quality provider of care.
The community health nursing process utilizes the traditional nursing process components which are: • Assessment • Planning, • Intervention • And evaluation But these are enhanced by community health nurses in three defined dimensions: 1. Each component involves the Individual/community participation. 2. Many ways of knowing, each of which is important in understanding the complexity and wide nature of nursing in the community. The inherent factor of the wider environment on the individual/community which is the focus of care (e.g.
