Study Notes
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)
- Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the integration of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values to make informed decisions about patient care.
- The ultimate goal of research is to provide the best possible evidence for EBP.
Nursing Research
- Nursing research is the scientific process of developing and testing knowledge about nursing practice.
- The purpose of nursing research is to provide high-quality evidence for EBP and to improve patient outcomes.
Role of Nurses in EBP
- Nurses are increasingly expected to critically evaluate and apply research findings to their practice.
- The role of nurses in EBP is to identify knowledge gaps, ask clinical questions, and find the best evidence to answer those questions.
Sources of Evidence
- The "best evidence" for EBP typically comes from rigorously conducted research, particularly randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews.
- Research in nursing involves the systematic and objective collection and analysis of data to answer specific questions about nursing practice.
