,nurses on the cutting edge
promote improvement in patient outcomes
accomplish this through: research, EBP, and QI
nurses achieve personal growth through and expand clinical decision-
making skills through...
development of clinical questions
literature reviews
evaluation of evidence in literature
application of "best available evidence" in your practice
,nurses as knowledgable consumers
nurses must be knowledgable consumers of research who can
evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of research evidence and use
existing standards to determine the merit and readiness of research
for use in clinical practice
to use research for an EBP and to practice using the highest quality
processes, you do not have to conduct research; however, you do
need to understand and appraise the steps of the research process in
order to read the research literature critically and use it to inform
clinical decisions
, research definition
a systematic investigation, including research development, testing
and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable
knowledge
quantitative and qualitative research
studies are guided by research questions
nurses employ the same methods used by other disciplines yet study
questions are relevant to nursing practice
