Developing Evidence-Based Practice
for Nursing


Findings from a study are different from
research evidence.
Research evidence is a synthesis of quality,
relevant studies to form a body of empirical
knowledge for selected area of practice.
Copyright © 2011 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
6
Synthesis of Research Findings


Knowledge comes from quantitative,
qualitative, and outcomes research.
Content clustering: integration of findings
from scientifically sound research to
determine what is currently known or not
known

Accomplished through:
• Integrative reviews
• Systematic reviews
• Meta-analyses, metasummaries, metasyntheses
Copyright © 2011 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

21
Iowa Model of Evidence-Based
Practice (cont’d)
Copyright © 2011 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

What are effective strategies for
implementation?
What are outcomes from using the research
findings?
Do the data support the change?
Is the proposed change an agency priority?
Copyright © 2011 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
23
Scientific Merit Critique

According to the Iowa model, research should
be examined for:
Conceptualization and internal consistency of the
study
2. Methodological rigor of the design, sample
methods, data, and analysis
3. Generalizability of the findings
4. Number of replications
1.
Copyright © 2011 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
24
Determining Agency Compatibility
with the Change in Practice





Who needs to approve the change in the
agency?
What steps are needed to get the change
approved in the institution?
Do physicians support the change?
Do nurses support the change?
Who are the leaders and will they support the
change?
Copyright © 2011 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
25
Instituting the Change in Practice



Will the implementation take a long time?
What support is needed to make the change?
Are there barriers to instituting change in the
agency?
Copyright © 2011 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
26
Utilization Barriers

Copyright © 2011 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
28
Monitoring Outcomes



After the change is effected, the outcomes
must be monitored for effectiveness.
Change should be documented regarding
improved quality of care, decreased costs,
saved nursing time, and improved access to
care.
Feedback is needed.
