, Stetler Model of Research Utilization & The Iowa Model of Evidence-based practice 2
What are the differences between the Stetler Model of Research Utilization to Facilitate
EBP and The Iowa Model of Evidence-based Practice to Promote Quality Care? Do
they seem to oppose or complement each other?
Stetler model of research utilization helps practitioners access how research findings
and other essential practices are applied. This model creates a formal change within the
organization by using evidence and how practitioners can use informal basis as part o
reflective practices and critical thinking (Rutter & Brown, 2019). The model correlates with
the research use as the first step with good evidence-informed practices. This model provides
the best evidence-informed method and the relationship with research use. Integration of
research use and evidence-informed practices enhance the overall research application.
Research use offers the first step of research-related actions that result in evidence-informed
training when in use in light of available supplemental evidence hence aiding in decision
making.
Stetler's Model of Research Utilization consists of five phases. Each phase is designed
to mitigate some of the human errors made in decision making, result in the use of evidence
in the context of daily practice, and facilitate critical thinking about the practical application
of research findings. Phase one is a preparation which is identifying the primary purpose of
consulting relevant related resources and evidence and recognizing the need to consider
critical contextual factors that could influence implementation; phase two is validation which
asses each source of evidence for its level of high overall operational, applicability and
credibility details with an assumption that a methodologically weak study may still provide
helpful information for additional evidence.
Phase three is comparative evaluation and decision making. It logically displays and
organizes the summarized findings from all validated sources in terms of their differences
