,1 Research is the systematic, rigorous, logical investigation with
the aim of answering questions about nursing phenomena.
Phenomena can be defined as occurrences, circumstances, or
facts perceptible by the senses.
1. Discuss the significance of research - Expands the discipline’s unique body of scientific
evidence-informed practice in knowledge.
Nursing. - Forms the foundation for evidence-informed nursing
practice.
- Nursing practice – clinical research,
outcomes of care.
- Allows practice to change with work environments
and the most common health issues.
- Maintains the professional's societal relevance.
- Nursing profession – job satisfaction,
education, administration, etc.
2. Explain the relationship between Evidence-Based Practice
evidence-based, evidence-informed “ A problem-solving approach to clinical practice” that
research utilization and appraisal of involves integrating high-quality research. Clinical expertise,
research to practice. and patient/family values.
- Provides a step-wise approach to the application of
evidence into practice, where practitioners are
required to follow a series of steps to implement
evidence-based practice.
- According to Sackett, the core steps of evidence-based
practice include:
1. Formulating a clinical question
2. Searching the literature for the best research
evidence to answer the question
3. Critically appraising the research evidence
4. Integrating the appraised evidence with own
clinical expertise, patient preference, and
values
5. Evaluating outcomes of decision-making.
-
Evidence-Informed Practice
- A broad term that focuses on an inclusive and
interactive process which encompasses RU, case
reports and expert opinion to guide practice.
- Example: Also involves acknowledging and
considering local ways of knowing, Indigenous
knowledge, cultural and religious norms, and clinical
judgement.
As illustrated by McSherry, evidence-informed practice
provides a system–based approach (made up of input,
throughput, and output) to applying evidence into practice,
which contains, as part of its elements, the steps of
evidence-based practice. \
- According to Nevo and Slonim-Nevo. EIP:
- Practitioners are encouraged to be knowledgeable
about findings coming from all types of studies and to
use them in an integrative manner, taking into
consideration clinical experience and judgment,
clients' preferences and values, and context of the
interventions.
Evidence-informed practice is defined as the conscious and
, judicious use of the current “best” evidence in conjunction with
clinical expertise and patient values to guide healthcare
decisions.
Research utilization: a subset of evidence informed practice that
focuses on the application of research findings to improve
patient care.
- Variability of research utilization by individual nurses
can potentially lead to adverse patient outcomes.
3. Apply the role of the nurse to the - Consumer
research process. - Generator of Clinical Questions
- Investigator/Participant in Research Protector of
Research Participants.
4. Review the historical perspectives of 19th century:
Nursing Research. - Nursing – Formal Discipline
20th century 1900 to 1940:
- Focus on Prep of nurses for practice
20th century 1950 to 1960:
- First Masters Program in Canada
- Develop theory
20th century 1960 to 1999:
- Grant for Research
- Doctoral Programs developed
21st century:
- Research Chair Award to Nursing PhD Program
5. Explain the inter-relationship between CNA Position Statement:
professional standards of practice, “All nurses – including clinicians, educators, researchers,
entry to practice competencies for administrators, and policy makers – must collaborate with other
RNs, research process, research healthcare stakeholders to facilitate evidence-informed decision
activities and evidence. making and practice.”
“Sources of evidence need to be critically appraised before
their findings are incorporated into decision making and
practice. Sources that meet this standard include systematic
reviews, research studies, and peer-reviewed journals that
summarize valid and clinically useful published studies.”
Individual Nurses:
- Are positioned to provide optimal care by having
acquired competencies for evidence informed nursing
practice as part of their foundational education.
- Read and critique evidence informed literature in
nursing, health sciences, and related disciplines.
- Generate researchable questions and communicate
them to their manager, clinical nurse leaders, or
associated researchers.
- Participate in or conduct research.
- Evaluate and promote evidence informed nursing
practice.
6. Discuss values, beliefs and the nature The Nature of Knowledge
of knowledge. - Nurses engage their curiosity about the phenomena
they observe in clinical practice.
- Nurses ask questions to support care delivery methods
and innovate health care delivery methods and best
practice guidelines.
- To answer these questions, clinicians and nurse
researchers engage in a knowledge-development
process.
