NURS 350 How focus of research and EBP differ
DQ1
What is the difference between research and evidence-based practice?
Research findings can be applied to evidence-based nursing practice.
DQ2
An example of evidence-based practice in your workplace or the nursing profession would be helpful in this discussion.
It was difficult to implement evidence-based practice because of what obstacles?
If so, how did they get past them?
The Magnet Recognition Program® and the Magnet Model component of new knowledge, innovation, and improvements are supported by research, evidence-based practice (EBP), and quality improvement.
The Magnet Recognition Program has three main objectives:
Improve the quality of professional practice in a supportive environment
For patients or residents, look for examples of excellent care that have been provided by nursing staff.
The best practices in nursing should be disseminated.
Five parts make up the Magnet Model:
structural empowerment is a form of transformational leadership
innovation, improvement and new knowledge are the hallmarks of exemplary professional practice.
The Magnet Recognition Program and the “new knowledge, innovation, and improvements” component of the Magnet Model necessitate the participation of nurses at all levels of healthcare organizations.
The contributions of nurses to new knowledge, innovations, and improvements may go unnoticed by many nurses, who may not be able to distinguish between those processes.
The differences between research, evidence-based practice (EBP), and quality improvement are explained in this article (QI.)
When it comes to comparing research, evidence-based practice and quality improvement, there is a lot of overlap.
The basics of scientific study
In order to gain new knowledge or to verify existing knowledge, researchers conduct research.
Research studies are conducted in a systematic, scientific manner in order to answer specific research questions or test hypotheses.
When it comes to research, understanding the philosophy of science is just as important as the actual investigation, exploration, and discovery.
The scientific method must be followed in a logical, sequential order for research results to be considered reliable and valid.
Questions like: What do we know about this phenomenon? or: What do we not know? are the first steps in this process.
In what ways has the evidence been gathered and communicated?
What knowledge gaps are there?
There is a systematic, comprehensive literature review to answer those questions in the first phase of investigation.
Research questions, hypotheses, or a combination of the two are often sparked by the discovery of previously unanswered questions.
Now that we’ve decided what kind of study we’re going to conduct, it’s time to figure out how we’ll conduct it.
Two of the most commonly used approaches for conducting research are quantitative (numerical) and qualitative (verbal).
In quantitative studies, the relationship between a set of variables is examined, while in qualitative studies the deeper meaning of the variables is examined.
This type of study is based on rigorous statistical analysis and scientific methodology to determine sample size, as well as various designs to control for possible errors in data collection.
Qualitative research tends to focus on the significance of life experiences.
Data collection and analysis, as well as the interpretation of the results and outcomes, are all parts of the discovery process in all research.
Publishing research findings with an explanation of how they add to our understanding is the final step in the research process.
Nursing research ideas include conducting a systematic review of studies on preventing catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), conducting a randomized controlled trial of new wound care methods, and conducting a qualitative study to examine the lived experiences of patients with a particular chronic disease.
