Develop a 2-4 page
scholarly paper in which you describe a quality or safety issue, or a chosen
diagnosis, and then identify and analyze credible evidence that could be used
as the basis for applying EBP to the
issue.
Introduction
The goal of using
evidence-based research findings is to enhance safety and quality of patient
care and
ensure optimal outcomes are achieved. It is not uncommon to hear a
nurse say, “why change it as we’ve
always done it this way.” However,
this is no longer acceptable in today’s practice environment.
The profession of
nursing has evolved, and the expectation is that the professional nurse has a
scientific
foundation to support the care that is provided. As the profession
of nursing continues to evolve and
engage in health care transformation,
baccalaureate-prepared nurses are expanding taking on leadership
roles that
include incorporating EBPs. To be able to do this, the nurse needs to
understand the criteria and makes a resource credible, as this is crucial when
deciding if the research is valid and reliable for
implementation into health
care settings. The nurse will need to incorporate the use of evidence-based
practice models. EBP models are designed to assist the nurse in developing a
plan to gather evidence to
answer a practice problem or question. It is a
systematic approach to direct the user to incorporate
scholarly findings into
current practice. These EBP models lead the nurse through the decision-making
process of evaluating the literature to determine the best practice evidence
for
Professional Context
As a
baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for locating and
identifying credible and
scholarly resources to incorporate the best available
evidence for the purposes of enhancing clinical
reasoning and judgement skills.
When reliable and relevant evidence-based findings are utilized, patients,
health care systems, and nursing practice outcomes are positively impacted.
Scenario
For this assessment,
you may choose from the following options as the context for the quality or
safety issue or chosen diagnosis/health issue for researching and completing
this assessment:
The specific diagnosis/health issue you identified in
your previous assessment.
Instructions
The purpose of this
analysis is to better understand what constitutes credibility of journal articles
as well
as websites. The role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in
incorporating evidence-based research
continues to growth in clinical practice.
As quality improvement (QI) measures to reduce safety risks
continue to be
emphasized, the need for evidence-based models and evidence-based templates is
growing. This type of systematic approach to incorporating evidence-based
findings allows nurses to
make clinical and operational decisions based upon
the best available evidence. When the most
up-to-date evidence-based findings
are utilized, patient-centered care improves outcomes and enhances the patient
experience.
Below is a quick
review table of several well-known Evidence-Based Practice Models used to guide
exploration:
Evidence-Based Practice
Models
Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice
Stetler Model
Ottawa Model
PARiHS (Promoting Action on Research
Implementation in Health Services) Model
ACE (Academic Center for Evidence-Based
Practice) Star Model
ARCC (Advancing Research and Clinical
Practice Through Close Collaboration) Mode
John Hopkins Model
KTA (Knowledge-to-Action) Model
For this assessment:
Explain the criteria that should be used when
determining the credibility of journal articles as well as websites.
Support your explanations with references to the
literature or research articles that describe criteria that should be used
to determine credibility.
Your identification and determination of credibility
should be done within the context of your chosen scenario for this
assessment. However, if you are
locating resources to help provide evidence-based care for the
diagnosis/health care issue you identified in the first assessment, you
may want to begin your literature and evidence search from the databases that were identified. Any of the three scenario options are acceptable.
So, pick the one that most interests you.
Be sure to address the
following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading criteria in the
scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you will know
what is needed for a distinguished score.
Describe a quality or safety issue, or a chosen
diagnosis, that could benefit from an evidence-based approach.

determining credibility of resources such as journal articles and
websites.
Analyze the credibility and relevance of evidence and
resources within the context of a quality or safety issue, or a chosen
diagnosis.
