nurses on the cutting edge promote improvement in patient outcomes
accomplish this through: research, EBP, and QI
nurses achieve personal growth development of clinical questions
through and expand clinical decision- literature reviews
making skills through... 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

quantitative vs. qualititative research quantitative: encompasses the study of research
questions and/or hypotheses that describe
phenomena, test relationships, assess differences,
seek to explain cause-and-effect relationships
between variables, and test for intervention
effectiveness--numeric data are summarized and
analyzed using statistics--techniques are systematic
and methodology is controlled
qualititative: question is about understanding the
meaning of a human experience such as grief, hope,
or loss--meaning of an experience is based on the
view that meaning varies and is subjective--context of
experience also plays a role--generally conducted in
natural settings and uses data that are words or text
rather than numeric to describe the experiences
being studied--guided by research questions and
data are collected from a small number of subjects,
allowing an in-depth study of a phenomenon--
subjective approach but systematic in its method
QI definition systematic use of data to monitor the outcomes of
care processes and improvement methods to design
and test changes to continuously improve the quality
and safety of health care systems
uses currently available knowledge to improve health
care delivery within the local setting
QI elements 1. conducting an assessment
2. setting specific goals for improvement
3. identifying ideas for changing current practice
4. deciding how improvements in care are measured
5. rapidly testing practice changes
6. measuring improvements in care
7. adopting practice change as new standard of care
want to create measurable change across quality
domains through application of these 7 steps, often
through the plan, do, study, act model

research vs. QI research studies generate new knowledge that is
generalizable to other populations and settings
QI projects use currently available knowledge to
improve health care delivery within the local setting
IRB should have a written policy and template for
determining the difference between humans subjects
research and QI
research and EBP best research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient
values all come together in EBP (see Venn diagram)
EBP allows one to systematically use the best
available evidence from research with the integration
of individual clinical expertise as well as the patient's
values and preferences to make clinical decisions
developing EBP expertise conduct effective literature reviews
develop critical reading skill process
1. preliminary: skimming article abstracts, title
2. comprehensive: understanding the purpose of the
study
3. analysis: examining the study components
4. synthesis: assessing the study's validity
