advancing research and clinical practice through close
collaboration (ARCC) Correct Answers -Organized conceptual
framework to guide system-wide implementation
-Promotes sustainability at a system level
-Incorporates nurse input about EBP barriers and facilitators
-Uses Cognitive Behavioral Theory
,-Includes assessment of organizational culture and readiness
-Key feature is the use of mentors as a central mechanism for
implementing and sustaining EBP
-4 major assumptions:
(1)There are facilitators and barriers to EBP for individuals and
health care systems
(2)Barriers to EBP must be removed or mitigated, and
facilitators must be put in place for both individuals and health
systems to implement EBP
(3) In order to change practice, clinicians' beliefs about the
value of EBP and their confidence in their ability to implement
it must be strengthened
(4) A culture of EBP requires mentors to advance and sustain
EBP
1. Facilitators and barriers: barriers must be overcome by
facilitators in order to conduct research
2. Mentors: relies on mentorship; culture of mentors that are
