A list of the steps taken by nursing to develop and implement an EBP. 1. formulation of a clinical question; 2. gathering the best evidence to answer the clinical question;3. critical appraisal of the best evidence;4. integration of the evidence with the clinician 's own expertise, assessment of the patient 's condition, available healthcare resources, and the patient 's preferences and values to implement a clinical decision; and 5. evaluation of the practice change as a result of implementing the…
There are many personal and organizational obstacles which impede the professional nurse from using scientific evidence-based standards into practice. According to Schmidt and Brown ((2012) “studies have shown that nurses do not use EBP due to individual and organizational factors” (P.8). These include the lack of time, resistance to change and lack of skills. “Barriers such as nurses not valuing research, being resistant to change lack of time and resources.” Schmidt & Brown (2012).…
“EBP requires synthesizing research evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and these types of studies are limited in nursing. However, the number of RCTs conducted to test nursing interventions has greatly increased…” (Burns & Grove, 2011, p. 466).…

professionals use the best evidence possible to make clinical decisions (Blais and Hayes, 2011). It involves complex and conscientious decision-making based not only on the available evidence but also on patient characteristics, situations, and preferences.…
EBP is a way of providing healthcare, which is directed by a thoughtful incorporation of the best accessible scientific knowledge with clinical expertise. Nurses are the leading part of the nation’s health care workforce that makes nurses central to the translation of evidence-based practice as a practice mean. Critical care nurses are in a place to critically appraise and apply best evidence in daily practice to improve patients’ outcomes. It is important for critical care nurses to frequently assess their current practice to confirm that they are applying the current best evidence rather than practicing on the basis of tradition. As health care professionals, each of us are accountable for discovering new knowledge to guide practice, dispersing…
Take for example, the evidence-based practices (EBP), which prove beneficial in improving quality and costs of healthcare. The NP in her clinical role incorporates EBP in treating patients. In order to successfully implement these practices, it is vital that nurse administrators and nurse educators provide time, educational skills, and resources necessary to support and sustain EBP (Melnyk, Fineout-Overholt, Gallagher-Ford, & Kaplan, 2012). In this scenario, it is imperative that both the clinical and non-clinical roles need to work together to achieve the common goal of implementing and sustaining…
Evidence-based practice is an anticipated core experience of all health care clinicians irrespective of position. Role modeling and participating in the skills are necessary to develop evidence-based practice into clinical and nonclinical courses and also an important part in developing positive attitudes toward evidence-based practice, that’s the first step for using evidence to guide practice decisions (Winters). One way to accelerate EBP In health care organizations are by obtaining support from entire culture. Advance practice and staff nurses as well as administrators must have the knowledge and have to believe about the importance of EBP and provide critical skills to support evidence-based care. The knowledge of nursing is built on a…

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an interdisciplinary approach to clinical practice that has been gaining ground following its formal introduction in 1992. It started in medicine as evidence-based medicine (EBM) and spread to other fields such as dentistry, nursing, psychology, education, library and information science and other fields. Its basic principles are that all practical decisions made should 1) be based on research studies and 2) that these research studies are selected and interpreted according to some specific norms characteristic for EBP. Typically such norms disregard theoretical and qualitative studies and consider quantitative studies according to a narrow set of criteria of what counts as evidence. If such a narrow set of…
Nurses must be confident and comfortable in their knowledge of basic principles so they can provide appropriate care to the patients and they must implement suitable interventions to deal with patients’ responses to this common treatment effectively (Chlan, Tracy, & Grossbach, 2011). All health care professionals should have access to up-to-date evidence in order to sustain best practices (Chlan, et al., 2011). As an alternative to practice that is based solely on the experience and knowledge of practitioners, EBP has been introduced in the field of nursing (Chlan, et al.,…
Evidence-Based Practice. The term evidence-based practice (EBP) was used initially in relation to medicine, but has since been adopted by many fields including education, child welfare, mental heath, and criminal justice. The Institute of Medicine (2001) defines evidence-based medicine as the integration of best researched evidence and clinical expertise with patient values (p. 147). In social work, most agree that EBP is a process involving creating an answerable question based on a client or organizational need, locating the best available evidence to answer the question, evaluating the quality of the evidence as well as its applicability, applying the evidence, and evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of the solution. EBP is a process in which the practitioner combines well-researched interventions with clinical experience, ethics, client preferences, and culture to guide and inform the delivery of treatments and services.…
According to Masters (2017, p. 255), “evidence-based practice (EBP) is a mechanism that allows nurses to provide safe, high-quality patient care based on evidence grounded in research and professional expertise rather than tradition, myths, hunches, advice from peers, outdated textbooks, or even what the nurse learned in school 5, 10, 15 years ago”. EBP allows nurses to apply current evidence using advanced technology and expert knowledge appropriately. It also allows nurses to practice safely and efficiently while making sound decisions based on relevant research. I believe as a nurse EBP gives me a sense of confidence that allows me improve the quality of care delivered by utilizing my advanced education and knowledge of the nursing…
Patient safety and the quality of care provided is of the utmost importance. Therefore, it is important to use EBP because it provides us with protocol to follow that improves the quality of care and treatment that is provided to the client (Stevens, 2013). It does this by helping us discern which treatments are considered most effective based on past client’s experiences. EBP is rooted in gaining insight and knowledge. By taking knowledge and applying it in order to increase one’s performance in a clinical setting. The use of EBP became a major issue when problems in health care were causing harm to patients that could have been avoided (Stevens, 2013). EBP strives to improve patient care by increasing the probability that the treatment provided will lead to the desired health care outcome (Stevens,…
