In healthcare practice and as part of our professional obligation to provide the best care possible based on the best available knowledge and evidence. The knowledge we generated from research is one form of evidence. Best practices can be generated through evidence-based practice research. Becoming Research Aware - Research awareness is not limited to undertaking research yourself but it also means being able to analyze the components of various research studies to determine what is good research and has more applicability to our patients. The greater number of nurses utilizing research reduce the gap between research and practice. Evidence-based practice (EBP) o The use of EBP in the healthcare create a huge impact in the profession of every healthcare practitioner. EBP reduces the mortality and morbidity in the field of maternal and child. Essential intrapartum and newborn care (EINC) is a product of EBP. o Triad of EBP Photo credit to: CIAP o Evidence is rank according to: Level I – evidence is obtained from at least one properly designed RCT Level II – evidence obtained from well-designed controlled trials with randomization, well designed case control analytic studies or multiple time series with or without intervention Level III – opinions of respected authorities based on clinical experience, descriptive studies or report of experts o Pyramid of Evidence Photo credit to Polit and Beck 2010 Roles of Nurses in Research - With the emphasis on EBP and the current trends on research, it has become the nurse responsibility to engage on one or more roles in the continuum of research participation. Below are the roles of a nurse in a research: o Principal investigator o Member of a research team o Evaluator of research findings o Consumer of research findings o Client advocates in a research study o Subject of research Evidence-based practice (EBP) – Is the integration of the best possible research evidence with clinical expertise and patient needs Evidence-based – is concerned with using empirical, valid and relevant information in decision-making Evidence-based Nursing (EBN) – Is the application of valid, relevant research-based information in the nurse decision-making.
