Research and EBP in Nursing and Healthcare



Discussion Forum

The practice based on evidences can assist in decreasing the risks and uncertainties that are generally experienced by both health care expertise and patients in the current systems of health care complexities. Nurses serve influential roles in providing and ensuring the research and evidence based practice (Pravikoff et al., 2005). They should persistently enquire that 'What is the evidence for any invention?' or 'How do the best practices could be provided?' and 'are such the maximum achievable outcomes for the nurse, patient, and family?' Nurses are effectively placed for working with several other health care team members for identifying the clinical problems and using present evidences for making improvements in practices. Various opportunities are present for nurses for enquiring about some recent practices of nursing and for using evidences in order to make care more valuable (Newhouse et al., 2005). In a health care organization of Georgia, numerous models of Evidence-based Practice are existed and also have been utilized in effective ways. Even though, the review of such models is further than the scope of common elements and is present in the selection of a practical topic e.g. instructions of discharge for the patients with heart failure, syntheses and critique of evidence, assessment of the patients care's effects, implementation, impacts of performance of care provider, and consideration of the setting or context where the implementation of practice takes place. In order to be effective in EBP, one requires to be challenging to his/her own assumptions and willingness to work with others for improving the processes of care and the anticipated outcomes of patients (Fink et al., 2005). EBP takes work, resources, efforts, and time, but the results create values. Each patient has right for receiving care that is based on the effective knowledge of science and assures the cost-effective and high-quality cost.
