Application of Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing Professions
Keywords:
Evidence-based practice, Nursing ProfessionalAbstract
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a term that has come into frequent use in health care systems for decades. However, Professional nurses historically have been slow to use EBP in nursing. Many barriers have been identified as justification for not applying EBP in providing care. The crucial barriers that most often inhibit the use of EBP are related to attitude toward EBP. The difficulty nurses have are in being able to effectively critique the efficacy of research studies. Nurses typically do not have sufficient knowledge about research methodology. Also, nursing directors and executives have not developed an appreciation of the utility and necessity of implementing EBP. This has resulted in nurses not being given the time and resources, and other needed support, to achieve application of EBP. In order to meet the high standards required of 21st century nursing, nursing directors and executives must not only provide the necessary resources, but also mentor nurses so that they are sufficiently knowledgeable about research methodology. EBP support also depends on coordination across the entire health care team. The result will be a significantly higher quality of nursing care and the ability of nurses being able to provide care effectively.
