(EBP): Positive Influence On The Development Of Nursing Knowledge
Philosophy and evidence based practice (EBP) has had a positive influence on the development of nursing knowledge. I believe that without philosophy and EBP nursing knowledge would not have evolved as quickly or as advanced. The frameworks that guide practice is knowledge that is built on theories with philosophical bases and disciplinary goals. (Mary K. McCurry PhD RNC ANP, 2009+)The progression of nursing knowledge is stimulated by the philosophies, and theories of others as well as EBP through research. “By promoting student learning from a variety of knowledge bases {theoretical, practical, experiential, and philosophical), students may be nurtured in a type of learning characterized by breadth and depth.” (Andrew McKie, 2012) Nurses
have a philosophy that is individualized to how they practice. Nurses that have a theory framework for their clinical decisions are more accountable in relation to the transparency of their actions. (Mary K. McCurry PhD RNC ANP, 2009+) EBP is a big part of the development of knowledge because nurses generally make decisions evolved from personal experiences in practice or from the knowledge base of the nurse. “Each event or situation evolves from the practitioner’s knowledge and experiences at a given time.” (RN, 1999) Philosophy has impacted the development of nursing repeatedly over time alongside human economics and political history. (Anne M. Sochan PhD(c), 2011) One example is Nightingale’s theory of a supporting environment promoting the healing processes of individuals could be evolved from Al-Islamiah’s tenet of ethical nursing practice in the early 6th century. (Anne M. Sochan PhD(c), 2011).
