Study Notes
Evidence-Based Practice Framework
- PICO Components:
- P (Patient/Population/Problem): Describes characteristics like age, sex, ethnicity, condition, and disease.
- I (Intervention): Refers to treatments, medications, education, or diagnostic tests.
- C (Comparison): Evaluates alternatives to existing practices or interventions.
- O (Outcomes): Includes measurable changes such as decreased falls or increased patient satisfaction.
Question Development in EBP
-
Initial EBP Question:
- Begins as a background question, utilized to gather foundational knowledge.
- Evolves to a foreground question through the literature search, focusing on specific comparisons.
-
Types of Questions:
- Background Questions: Broad inquiries for best practices when knowledge is limited.
- Foreground Questions: Targeted inquiries comparing interventions that yield specific evidence.
Literature Search Strategy
- Search Terms and Databases: Develop search terms based on PICO components, refine as necessary, and ensure documentation for replication.
- Types of Evidence to Gather:
- Publications including journals and databases like EBSCOHost, PubMed, CINAHL, and Embase.
- Relevant standards, guidelines, and organizational data.
Identifying and Addressing Problems
-
Problem Identification:
- Safety and risk-management concerns.
- Variations in practice either within the setting or compared to community standards.
- Quality concerns encompassing efficiency and patient-centeredness.
- Unsatisfactory outcomes for patients, staff, or organization.
-
Importance of the Problem:
- Key to understand consequences of inaction and relevance to current practices.
Measurement and Outcomes
-
Measurement Plan:
- Defined metrics must be set to assess change effectiveness, calculated as rates or percentages.
- Examples: Falls with injury per 1,000 patient days, medication errors per 1,000 orders.
-
Revising EBP Questions:
- Initial questions may be adjusted based on literature findings, shifting from background to more focused inquiries.
Effective Implementation
- Metrics Calculation: Must include both numerator (actual events) and denominator (total opportunities for events) to evaluate success.
- Initial EBP Question Classification: Identify if the focus is on a background or foreground question for clarity in research intentions.
JHNEBP Model
- The Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice (JHNEBP) Model is a strategic approach aimed at enhancing clinical decision-making through effective problem-solving.
- It is tailored specifically for practicing nurses to address their unique needs in patient care.
- A structured three-step process known as PET is integral to the model:
- Practice Question: Formulating relevant clinical inquiries.
- Evidence: Gathering and evaluating current research and literature.
- Translation: Applying the findings appropriately in the clinical setting.
- The model emphasizes the importance of integrating the latest research findings and best practices to improve patient outcomes.
- Accompanied by user-friendly tools, the JHNEBP Model can be utilized both individually and in group settings, facilitating collaborative decision-making.
