Study Notes
Evidence Summaries
- Evidence summaries are accessible in various databases like PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Joanna Briggs Institute, and library catalogs.
- Primary evidence can come from direct patient interactions, clinical trials, peer-reviewed articles, conference proceedings, and large datasets.
Cochrane Collaboration
- An international nonprofit established in 1993, enhancing informed healthcare decisions.
- Involves contributors from over 120 countries.
- Comprises 53 Review Groups, each focusing on different healthcare topics, offering methodological and editorial support.
Cochrane Reviews
- Provide the best available information about healthcare interventions' effectiveness.
- A systematic review integrates results from various original studies to summarize findings in a focused area.
- Example: “Interventions for Preventing Falls in Older People Living in the Community,” which identifies effective fall prevention measures.
Cochrane Library
- The primary publication platform for the Cochrane Collaboration, containing six key databases:
- Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR)
- Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)
- Cochrane Methodology Register (CMAR)
- Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE)
- Health Technology Assessment Database (HTA)
- NHS Economic Evaluation Database (EED)
Cochrane Database
- Central output location for Cochrane Reviews, updated monthly and published quarterly in DVD format.
- Over 6,300 reviews and 2,400 protocols were available as of May 2015.
- Abstracts are freely accessible online and presented in clear, understandable language.
Cochrane Centers
- Located globally, these centers support collaboration and training among Cochrane members.
- Responsibilities include promoting Cochrane resources, organizing events, and fostering research collaborations.
Cochrane Nursing Care Field (CNCF)
- Focuses on systematic reviews relevant to nursing by identifying unmet topics and primary studies.
- Aims to raise awareness, disseminate findings, and secure funding for nursing-related Cochrane reviews.
Evidence-Based Nursing Practice Centers
- Notable centers include:
- Academic Center for Evidence-Based Nursing at the University of Texas Health Science Center
- Joanna Briggs Institute in Australia
- Sarah Cole Hirsh Institute for Best Nursing Practices in Cleveland.
Models to Promote Evidence-Based Practice
Stetler Model
- Five phases guiding EBPs:
- Preparation: Gather supporting information.
- Validation: Critical analysis of research.
- Comparative evaluation: Assess evidence fit for clinical settings.
- Translation and application: Implementing practice changes.
- Evaluation: Informal and formal evaluation methods.
Iowa Model
- Focuses on a continuum for EBP implementation, including:
- Identifying triggers, forming a team, synthesizing research, piloting practices, evaluating outcomes, and disseminating results.
Barriers to Evidence-Based Practice
- Common challenges include:
- Heavy workloads, lack of management support, insufficient resources, limited authority for practice changes, and resistant workplace culture.
Facilitators of Evidence-Based Practice
- Cultivating an organizational culture that values clinical inquiry is crucial:
- Leadership support for EBP projects, mentorship, access to guidelines, evidence-based policies, and journal clubs enhance the EBP environment.
