The document discusses evidence based nursing practice. It defines nursing research, evidence, evidence based decision making and evidence based practice. Evidence based nursing practice refers to using the best research evidence, clinical expertise and patient preferences in clinical decision making. The evidence based practice movement started in the 1990s to improve care quality. Models like the Stetler model and Iowa model provide frameworks for evidence based practice. Barriers to evidence based practice include lack of time, skills and research access. Guidelines and systematic reviews are sources of best evidence.

1. EVIDENCE BASED NURSING
PRACTICE
Ms. NAMITA BATRA GUIN
Associate Professor

2. • Nursing research is a systematic
enquiry designed to develop
trustworthy evidence about issues of
importance to the nursing profession,
including nursing practice, education,
administration and informatics.
NURSING RESEARCH

3. EVIDENCE
Evidence is information based on
historical or scientific evaluation
of a practice that is accessible to
decision makers in health care
system.

4. EVIDENCE BASED
DECISION MAKING
It is the explicit ,conscientious
and judicious consideration of
the best available evidence in
the provision of health care.

5. EVIDENCE BASED
PRACTICE
It refers to the decision making
approach based on integrating
clinical expertise with the best
a v a i l a b l e e v i d e n c e s f r o m
systematic research.

6. EVIDENCE BASED
NURSING PRACTICE
Evidence based nursing practice is the
conscientious use of current best evidence in
making clinical decision about patient care.
{Sackett et.al.2000}

7. Evidence based nursing practice is the process by
which nurses make clinical decision using the best
available research evidence , their clinical
expertise and patient preferences, in the context of
available resources.
{Di Censo A, Cullum N.1998}
EVIDENCE BASED
NURSING PRACTICE

8. • Evidence based practice movement started in England in
the early 1990s.
• Cochrane collaboration was formed in 1993 works to
prepare, maintain and disseminate systematic research
reviews, the evidence needed for health care decision-
making.
• A publication by Stetler et al (1998) in U S provides a
definition of evidence-based nursing.
• Rosswurm and Larrabe (1999) have developed a model to
guide nurses and other health care professionals for
evidence based practice.
• A Multidisciplinary evidence based practice model
developed at the university of Colorado hospital by C J
Goode and F Piedalue in 1999.
HISTORICAL
PERSPECTIVE

9. • Provide practicing nurse the
evidence based data to deliver
effective care.
• Resolve problem in clinical
setting.
• Achieve excellence in care
delivery.
• Reduces the variations in nursing
care and assist with efficient ,and
effective decision making.
GOALS OF EVIDENCE BASED
NURSING PRACTICE

10. CURRENT TRENDS DRIVING DEVELOPMENT
OF EBP IN NURSING
• Increased number of well designed randomised controlled trials.
• Need for decreased variability in implementation of practice
• Need for implementation of research evidence in practice.
• Demands of few health professions commission or statutory bodies.
• Growth of advanced practice roles.
• Increased experience in clinical pathways, standards, protocols and
algorithms
• Increase in integrated systematic reviews of research studies.
• Need for outcome data to guide patient care.
• Explosion in the information technology.
• Improved knowledge base facilitating research.
• Need to collaborate in complex decision making.
• Requirement for evidence based standards of care implemented by
the joint commission on accreditation of health care organizations
(JCAHO)
CURRENT TRENDS DRIVING
DEVELOPMENT OF EBP IN
NURSING

11. CONCERNS RELATED TO EBN
EBP is more focused on the science of nursing than
on the art of nursing.
Fear among professionals
Nursing would get reduced to technical practice.
Research involving human being is complex and
findings are open to interpretation and should not be
the sole basis for practice.
Health care reimbursement only linked to the
interventions that can be substantiated by a
documented body of evidence.
Not all practice in health professionals can or should
be based on science when developing a plan of care,
strict reliance on EBP can create void.
CONCERNS RELATED TO
EVIDENCE BASED NURSING
PRACTICE

12. BARRIERS TO RESEARCH UTILIZATION AND EBP
Lack of confidence in critical appraisal skills
Insufficient time & resistance to change
Lack of organizational infrastructure and
support
Lack of disseminated of nursing research
Insufficient access to research findings
Shortage of research evidence
Lack of understanding of research reports.
BARRIERS TO RESEARCH
UTILIZATION &EBP

13. ➢ It is not the same and are not
synonymous
➢They are both scholarly processes but
focus on different phases of knowledge
development-Application versus
discovery.

14. Clinical FEATURES OF EBP
1. It is problem based approach.
2. It considers the context of the practitioner’s
current experience.
3. It brings together the best available evidence and
current practice by combining research with
knowledge and theory.
4. It facilitates the application of research findings
by incorporating first and second hand
knowledge into practice.

30. STETLER MODEL
• Developed as ‘practitioner oriented’ model
in 1994
• Revised in 2001 without a change in its
focus on critical thinking.
• Deemphasized unsystematic clinical
experiences.
• Raised awareness about the importance of
applying research findings in nursing
practice.
STETLER MODEL

31. MEANING OF ‘EVIDENCE’ AS PER STETLER
MODEL
⦿‘Evidence’ is defined as information or facts
that are obtained systematically.
⦿‘Evidence’ comes from two different
sources-external and internal evidence
External evidence: Derived from opinions of
experts.
Internal evidence: It comes from
systematically obtained facts or information

66. STEPS IN EVIDENCE BASED DECISION
MAKING
1. Compiling guidance: Search for relevant and high quality
research studies that address the clinical question.
2. Planning a change: The administrators are consulted for
planning a change.
3. Integrating skills and experiences:
Clinical skills include the expertise that develops from
multiple observations of patients and the interventions
carried on patients.
STEPS IN EVIDENCE BASED
DECISION MAKING

67. CLINICAL EXPERTISE
It has a influence on:
• Quality of the initial assessment of the client’s
clinical state and circumstances
• Problem formulation.
• Decision about the best evidence
• Exploration of patient’s preference
• Delivery of the clinical intervention
• Evaluation of the outcome for that particular
patient
CLINICAL EXPERTISE

68. Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is
communicated through certain channels over time
among the members of a social system .Given that
decisions are not authoritative or collective, each
member of the social system faces his/her own
innovation.
It follows a 5-step process :
1) Knowledge
2) Persuasion
3) Decision
4) Implementation
5) Confirmation
DIFFUSION OF INNOVATION-
ROGER’S

69. 1) Knowledge – person becomes aware of an
innovation and has some idea of how it functions,
2) Persuasion – person forms a favorable or
unfavorable attitude toward the innovation,
3) Decision – person engages in activities that lead
to a choice to adopt or reject the innovation,
4) Implementation – person puts an innovation into
use,
5) Confirmation – person evaluates the results of an
innovation-decision already made.
DIFFUSION PROCESS FOLLOWS
A 5 STEP PROCESS

70. Each individual’s innovation-decision is largely framed by personal
characteristics. For a successful innovation, the adopter distribution follow a
bell-shaped curve, the derivative of the S-shaped diffusion curve, over time and
approach normality. Diffusion scholars divide this bell-shaped curve to
characterize five categories of system member innovativeness, where
innovativeness is defined as the degree to which an individual is relatively
earlier in adopting new ideas than other members of a system.
These groups are:
1) innovators,
2) early adopters,
3) early majority,
4) late majority, and
5) laggards .

STAGES OF INNOVATION

73. Stages of Innovation
– Awareness - the individual is exposed to the innovation but lacks complete
information about it
– Interest - the individual becomes interested in the new idea and seeks additional
information about it
– Evaluation - individual mentally applies the innovation to his present and
anticipated future situation, and then decides whether or not to try it
– Trial - the individual makes full use of the innovation
– Adoption - the individual decides to continue the full use of the innovation
STAGES OF INNOVATION

74. Factors affecting the diffusion of
Innovation
• Mass media
• Strong interpersonal ties
• Channel of communication
• Social systems
- heterophilous social system
- homophilous social system
• Cultural differences
• Nature of leadership
