Generalist Nursing Practice Clinic Undergraduate Level: The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice (AACN, 2008)

Essential III: Scholarship for Evidencebased Practice

Baccalaureate (professional nursing practice) is grounded in the translation of current evidence into practice. Scholarship involves 1) identification of practice issues; 2) appraisal and integration of evidence; and 3) evaluation of outcomes.

Baccalaureate nurses are uniquely positioned to monitor patient outcomes and identify practice issues. Evidencebased practice models provide a systematic process for the evaluation and application of scientific evidence surrounding practice issues. Dissemination is a critical element of scholarly practice as graduates are prepared to share evidence of best practices with the interprofessional team.

Essential III: Scholarship for Evidencebased Practice (Continued)

Baccalaureate education provides a basic understanding of how evidence is developed, including the research process, clinical judgment, interprofessional perspectives, and patient preference as applied to practice.

Baccalaureate nurses integrate reliable evidence from multiple ways of knowing to inform practice and make clinical judgments. In collaboration with other healthcare team members, graduates participate in documenting and interpreting evidence for improving patient outcomes (AACN, 2006b).”

Advanced Nursing Practice Clinic

The DNP is intended for nurses seeking a terminal degree in nursing practice and offers an alternative to research-focused doctoral programs. PhD programs in nursing typically focus on basic or clinically focused research.

The program of study for the DNP degree centers on leadership, knowledge, and refining skills in the areas of scholarly practice, practice improvement, innovation, and testing of care delivery models, and on clinical expertise for advanced nursing education.

DNP Essential III: Clinical Scholarship and Analytical Methods for Evidence-Based Practice

Research-focused doctoral programs in nursing are designed to prepare graduates with the research skills necessary for discovering new knowledge in the discipline.

In contrast, DNP graduates engage in advanced nursing practice and provide leadership for evidence-based practice. This requires competence in knowledge application activities: the translation of research in practice, the evaluation of practice, improvement of the reliability of health care practice and outcomes, and participation in collaborative research. Therefore, DNP programs focus on the translation of new science, its application and evaluation. In addition, DNP graduates generate evidence through their practice to guide improvements in practice and outcomes of care.

DNP Essential III: Clinical Scholarship and Analytical Methods for Evidence-Based Practice

1.Use analytic methods to critically appraise existing literature and other evidence to determine and implement the best evidence for practice.

2. Design and implement processes to evaluate outcomes of practice, practice patterns, and systems of care within a practice setting, health care organization, or community against national benchmarks to determine variances in practice outcomes and population trends.

3. Design, direct, and evaluate quality improvement methodologies to promote safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable, and patient-centered care. (AACN, DNP Essentials, 2008)

23

Page 24: Evidenced-Based Practice at the Advance · Advanced Nursing Practice Clinic The DNP is intended for nurses seeking a terminal degree in nursing practice and offers an alternative

4. Apply relevant findings to develop practice guidelines and improve practice and the practice environment.

5. Use information technology and research methods appropriately to:

a) collect appropriate and accurate data to generate evidence for nursing practice

b) inform and guide the design of databases that generate meaningful evidence for nursing practice

c) analyze data from practice

d) design evidence-based interventions

e) predict and analyze outcomes

f) examine patterns of behavior and outcomes

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values to facilitate clinical decision-making (Sackett, Straus, Richardson, Rosenberg, & Haynes,

2000).

Defining Evidence-Based Practice

Page 28: Evidenced-Based Practice at the Advance · Advanced Nursing Practice Clinic The DNP is intended for nurses seeking a terminal degree in nursing practice and offers an alternative

Defining Evidence-Based Practice

A paradigm and life long problem solving approach to clinical decision making that involves the

conscientious use of the best available evidence (including a systematic search for and critical

appraisal of the most relevant evidence to answer a question) with one’s own clinical expertise and

patient values and preferences to improve outcomes for individuals, groups, communities, and systems

(Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt).

Cautions Concerning Evidence-based Practice

Narrow views of what counts as evidence

Over emphasis on standardization denies focus on the human experience

Concerns about implementation that denies patient participation

Concerns about the loss of theory-practice link being replaced by EBP

EBP should be a shared institutional activity, not placed on the individual level

EBP needs to be situated within a nursing philosophy-science context

Evidence-Based Practice as Praxis

Praxeis is a Greek term used by Aristotle to Marxist philosophers of science to describe the integration

of theory with practice.

Evidence-Based Practice as Praxis

Marx believed praxis was ultimate harmony of theory and practice ---theoria and praxis--- not in

the sense that philosophy guides action, but rather in the sense that philosophy is the

comprehension of what is

Evidence-based Practice and Practice-based Evidence

Practice is the experiences the nurse encounters during the process of caring for others

Practice based evidence acknowledges the importance of the environment of practice to determine practice recommendations

Practice based evidence values knowledge that is generated from practice as compared to knowledge that conforms to hierarchies of evidence that is created apart from the context of practice (Chinn & Kramer)

The Role of Theory and Evidence-Based Practice

Conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of

theory-driven, research based information in making decisions about care delivery to individuals or groups of patients and in consideration of individual needs and

preferences (Ingersoll, 2000)

Example: Fall Prevention

Csomay Center EBP Guideline

• Appropriate and correct use of walking aids and other devices is a component of any fall intervention program for older adults (Agostini et al., 2001; AGS, 2010; Oliver et al., 2000, Evidence Grade = A).

• Note use of walking aids (e.g., canes, walkers, crutches, merrywalkers, etc.)

• Note use of other assistive technologies (e.g., wheelchairs, motorized scooters, etc.) (Nyberg & Gustafson, 1995; Vlahov et al., 1990, Evidence Grade = C).

• Note use of protective devices (e.g., hip protectors, helmets, etc.)

• Note use of footwear with respect to functionality such as slippery soles and how well they fit (Arnadottir & Mercer, 2000, Evidence Grade = C).

• Assess assistive and protective devices for proper fitting and signs of wear or damage.

• Assess correct use of walking aids, assistive technologies, and protective devices.

NIC is a comprehensive, standardized

classification of interventions that nurses perform. The Classification includes the interventions that nurses do on behalf of patients, both independent and collaborative interventions, both direct and indirect care. An intervention is any treatment, based upon clinical judgment and knowledge that a nurse performs to enhance patient/client.
