Aims
•To introduce you to key principles and processes of evidence based nursing including strategies and resouces to promote evidence based care
![Page 3: Everything you always wanted to know about EBN but were afraid to ask… Carl Thompson and Nicky Cullum Centre for Evidence Based Nursing, University of](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56649cb75503460f9497d73b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Clinical ScenarioYou are a senior nurse on an
acute admissions ward where lumbar punctures are regularly undertaken for diagnostic purposes. Standard practice has long been to lie people flat to reduce the likelihood of headache but the Unit Manager asks if this period of bedrest can be reduced or abolished as this bed-blocking is giving her a headache…
![Page 4: Everything you always wanted to know about EBN but were afraid to ask… Carl Thompson and Nicky Cullum Centre for Evidence Based Nursing, University of](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56649cb75503460f9497d73b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Please write on the pink paper how long you think
someone should lie flat after lumbar puncture (please
make it clear whether your answer is in minutes or
hours)

Where do we go for help with decisions when we are not sure how to proceed?
![Page 6: Everything you always wanted to know about EBN but were afraid to ask… Carl Thompson and Nicky Cullum Centre for Evidence Based Nursing, University of](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56649cb75503460f9497d73b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Good Idea or Bad Idea?• A weekly exercise programme for
nursing staff in the workplace• Bicycle safety education
programmes for children• Driver education for teenagers• Pint glasses made of toughened
glass for use in pubs• Lying babies prone to prevent
choking
![Page 7: Everything you always wanted to know about EBN but were afraid to ask… Carl Thompson and Nicky Cullum Centre for Evidence Based Nursing, University of](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56649cb75503460f9497d73b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Good Idea or Bad Idea??
• Weekly exercise programme for nursing staff had no effect on fitness and health, merely interfered with ability to plan work
• Bicycle safety education programme for children increased risk of injury overall, doubling risk in boys
![Page 8: Everything you always wanted to know about EBN but were afraid to ask… Carl Thompson and Nicky Cullum Centre for Evidence Based Nursing, University of](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56649cb75503460f9497d73b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Teenage driver education associated with a modest but potentially important increase in teenagers involved in traffic crashes
• Use of toughened pint glasses in bars increased injury rate by 60% because the glass shattered more easily
• Lying babies prone for sleep intuitively makes sense (reduction of risk of inhaling vomit or choking), but increases risk of sudden infant death syndrome
![Page 9: Everything you always wanted to know about EBN but were afraid to ask… Carl Thompson and Nicky Cullum Centre for Evidence Based Nursing, University of](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56649cb75503460f9497d73b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
We may inadvertently widen health inequalities …
• Bike Ed cycle safety programme was more harmful in younger children, those from families with lower parental education levels, those in families without other cyclists
• Sesame Street benefited all children but gap between fast and slow learners increased

Fundamental Principle of Evidence Based anything…• The weight given to research evidence for
any decision depends on internal validity and relevance (external validity) of research
• Match the type of question with the best research design– Certain research designs likely to yield
more valid (more likely true) results for particular types of questions (minimise bias)
![Page 28: Everything you always wanted to know about EBN but were afraid to ask… Carl Thompson and Nicky Cullum Centre for Evidence Based Nursing, University of](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56649cb75503460f9497d73b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Why are randomised controlled trials the best design for answering questions of effectiveness?
• Only when the treatment under evaluation is the only systematic difference between the groups in a trial can we confidently attribute a difference in outcomes to the treatment

Poor quality and/or irrelevant research
The total body of research is distilled down to a conclusion based on the best available, reliable and relevant research
![Page 32: Everything you always wanted to know about EBN but were afraid to ask… Carl Thompson and Nicky Cullum Centre for Evidence Based Nursing, University of](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56649cb75503460f9497d73b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Systematic reviews
• Reviews that look, in a systematic way, at all the available research on a topic
• Systematic reviews have a clear method - like original research
• Critically appraise each piece of research they include
• Reliable information for practice
![Page 33: Everything you always wanted to know about EBN but were afraid to ask… Carl Thompson and Nicky Cullum Centre for Evidence Based Nursing, University of](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56649cb75503460f9497d73b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Examples of Systematic Reviews from the Cochrane Library• Beds, mattresses and cushions for
preventing pressure ulcers• Non-nutritive sucking for pre-term infants• Absorbent products for containing urinary
and/or faecal incontinence in adults
• Caregiver support for women during childbirth
• Communiciating with children and adolescents about their cancer

Only approximately 10% of articles in the most prestigious internal medicine journals can be regarded as “valid” and ready for application
![Page 38: Everything you always wanted to know about EBN but were afraid to ask… Carl Thompson and Nicky Cullum Centre for Evidence Based Nursing, University of](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56649cb75503460f9497d73b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Critical Appraisal
• Important for practitioners to be able to sort the good research from the bad quickly
• A number of checklists available; different ones for different research designs
• See Evidence Based Nursing Users’ Guides
• CASP website http://www.phru.org.uk/~casp/appraisa.htm

Where do you start?
• Work with nurse colleagues to identify common clinical uncertainties
• Frame these as answerable, searchable questions
• Search for answers following the synopsis, synthesis, study approach

“However, there is really no good evidence that routine bed rest after dural puncture is beneficial, whatever the reason for the procedure, and the available data suggest that it may even increase the risk of postural headache…
…Hence, while there is clearly a role for bed rest for the relief of the symptoms of established post-dural puncture headache, the results of this review indicate that routine bed rest should be abandoned, and that patients should be encouraged to mobilise freely after dural puncture as soon as they are able.”

Email survey of teaching staff in our department
“Royal Marsden Manual (2000) suggests 4 hours if there is no headache. If there is then they should continue to lie flat and be observed for signs of alteration in intracranial pressure. In this case they can presumably sit up in the absence of any signs and once headchae reolved”

“They should lie flat in a comfortable position for up to 90 minutes after the test, this will depend upon how traumatic the tap was, age, BP etc'. The aim is to allow the CSF circualtion to re-establish itself and prevent a low pressure headache.”
