EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE

Evidence Based Practice

Evidence Based Practice

Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is defined as "the conscious use, explicit and judicious use of current and valid evidence in making decisions in the care of individual patients." The EBP aims to combine the experience methodologically health professional with the latest information on the clinical situation faced by the patient. The advantage is obvious: the young professional can make better decisions despite the lack of enough years in clinical practice, while veteran can be updated to make decisions despite having several years of graduation. (Melnyk, 2008) The PBE puts a method in clinical practice independent of theoretical inclinations. In addition, this study will indicate the main related basics that differentiate unbeaten execution and sustainability of EBP efforts, both within the various levels of a hospital-based clinical setting and similar across hospitals interested in EBP. Evidence-based practice (EBP) is currently expected approach to improving the quality of patient care and services in international health care systems. Nursing practice in recent decades is struggling to form a body of knowledge capital that could be an independent work of medical practice, which will be achieved, as Castrillon (2001), with the articulation of general theories, research and evidence-based practice.

Stetler Model

The Stetler model of research is used to design and become useful for the individual professional, and at the same time it can offer a structure for incorporating research results into EBP. Stetler Model phases include the development, justification, comparative evaluation / decision-making, translation / application, and evaluation. The objective of this project was to demonstrate how the Stetler model of research use was applied to obtain the support and the revitalization of a preceptor program in a large metropolitan tertiary medical center.
