    Study Notes

    Strategies for Overcoming Barriers to Implementing Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)

    • Specify 15 minutes a day to read evidence related to a clinical problem
    • Take a course or attend a continuing education offering on EBP
    • Consult with a librarian about how to access databases and retrieve articles
    • Choose talented individuals to act as change agents
    • Create a means to reward individuals
    • Organize a journal club where nurses meet regularly to discuss the evidence about a specific clinical problem
    • Use one familiar critique format when reading research
    • Listen to people's concerns about the change
    • Link organization priorities with EBP to reduce cost and increase efficiency
    • Use EBP to meet accreditation standards

    The Model of Diffusion of Innovation (Rogers, 2003)

    • Innovation: an idea, practice, or object that is perceived as new by an individual or other unit
    • Communication: may include one-to-one communication, one individual communicating to several others, or mass media
    • Time: the time-related elements of interest, including the time span from the point at which an individual first hears about an innovation to the point at which the decision is made to accept or reject the innovation
    • Social System: has both formal and informal structures, including authority, power, and opinion leaders

    Barriers to Implementing EBP

    • Characteristics of the nurse researchers, practicing nurses, and organizations employing the practitioners
    • Quality of research findings
    • BARRIERS Scale developed by Funk et al. (1991) to measure the barriers to research utilization problems in various clinical settings and among groups of practicing nurses and administrators
    • Barriers related to:
      • Nurse characteristics (e.g., lack of knowledge, lack of interest, lack of confidence)
      • Organizational characteristics (e.g., limited time, heavy patient workloads, inadequate staffing)
      • Nature of research information (e.g., research is too complicated, research is too scholarly)
      • Health-care environment (e.g., multiple barriers, lack of resources, lack of administrative support)

    Purposes of Identifying Barriers to Using EBP

    • To promote communication between researchers, practitioners, and administrators
    • To facilitate problem-solving during the use of empirical evidence in practice
    • To increase confidence in decision-making
    • To keep practice current and relevant
    • To achieve high-quality patient care
