NUR 699 GC Week 2 Discussion1: General Appraisal Overview for All Studies

 

Review the “General Appraisal Overview for All Studies,” available in Appendix B in the textbook. You should save this tool and use it throughout the development of the PICOT question, problem description, and literature review.

Begin the development of your PICOT question, using the following resources:

1. “Appendix A: Template for Asking Clinical Questions,” available in the textbook appendix
2. Text readings

Formulate your PICOT question and post it to the main forum. Respond to at least four other statements, providing feedback. Review the statements to see if the clinical issue is clearly defined and that all aspects are identified. Also refer to the “PICOT: Components of an Answerable, Searchable Question” table, located in chapter 2 of the text. If one PICOT statement has at least three feedback posts, move to another statement.

You will be using the feedback to make revisions to your PICOT question before using it in your “Section B: Problem Description” assignment.

What are some of the obstacles or barriers to implementing EBP in nursing?

Introduction

EBP is a set of evidence-based practices that can be used to improve the health, safety, and well-being of people. It’s a growing field, but there’s still room for improvement when it comes to implementing EBP in nursing. This post will look at some reasons why nurses are resistant to EBP, including lack of training opportunities and time spent learning new skills—and how these factors could be overcome if more nurses were using this approach.

Lack of training

A lack of training is one of the biggest obstacles when it comes to implementing EBP in nursing. Without proper training and education, you won’t be able to take any action that would help your patients. It’s important that healthcare providers receive ongoing support from experts who can guide them through their practice and ensure they are using evidence-based practices.

In order for EBP to work effectively, healthcare professionals need access to tools like decision support software or online case management platforms so they can track progress toward goals outlined in collaborative care models (such as shared decision making). They also need access to other resources such as journals or books on specific topics within each specialty area such as burn care or cancer treatment protocols; this will allow them better understand how things work at both ends of a patient’s journey through their care process so they can best serve their needs appropriately!

Time and effort required to learn new skills

Time and effort required to learn new skills.

The amount of time it takes to learn and implement the new skills is another barrier that can keep you from implementing EBP in nursing. It may take you months or even years before you have fully mastered all of these new ideas, but if this is your goal then there are ways around it:

• Practice makes perfect! This means repeating the same task over and over again until it becomes second nature (or at least something close enough). The more repetition there is in any given activity, whether physical or mental, the faster we’ll be able to get through them without getting stuck on something difficult or difficult-to-interpret information. For example: Trying out an action plan for someone who’s been diagnosed with cancer might seem intimidating at first because there’s just so much information involved – but once we’ve done some practice runs through our own plan (or someone else’s), our minds will become more accustomed to what needs doing so that when time comes around again next week/month etcetera…we know exactly where everything fits together perfectly 🙂

Lack of positive feedback for using EBP

The importance of positive feedback is something that many people don’t realize, but it’s one of the most important parts of EBP. Positive reinforcement is when you give someone a reward or praise for doing something right. It’s also called “positive motivation,” and it works by making your employees want to do their best work because they want recognition for their efforts.

Another aspect of positive communication is communication between teachers and students, which helps them feel connected with each other and build relationships based on trust rather than fear or aggression (which can sometimes occur when students are put into groups).

Changing roles, responsibilities, and job descriptions

There are many reasons why nurses may experience a change in roles, responsibilities and job descriptions. One common reason is the increased patient load. Nurses must be able to take care of more patients than ever before in order to meet their department’s standard practice. Another reason is that many hospitals are now turning away from traditional physical therapy models and moving toward evidence-based practices (EBP). This means that nurses will be required to do more paperwork than ever before as well as work longer hours than they have previously done before EBP implementation.

Uncertainty about which evidence is reliable and applicable to one’s practice

You may be wondering, “What is EBP?” The acronym stands for Evidence-Based Practice. It’s a set of tools and methods that enable clinicians to make better decisions based on the best available evidence. But EBP isn’t a magic bullet; it’s not always clear which evidence is reliable or applicable to your practice setting.

EBP requires critical thinking skills—and knowledge of the evidence base (what we know about how things work in healthcare) and literature (the body of knowledge generated by research studies).

Some of the reasons why nurses don’t implement EBP.

• Lack of training. Nurses are not trained in EBP and may not have the skills necessary to implement EBP in their practice.

• Time and effort required to learn new skills. Implementing EBP can be time-consuming because it requires nurses to learn new skills, such as using a checklist or reviewing evidence from systematic reviews, which can take several weeks or months.

• Lack of positive feedback for using EBP (see section above).

Conclusion

We hope this article has helped you understand some of the challenges nurses face when implementing EBP. It may be helpful to remember that it is important to have patience and perseverance as you work towards becoming an effective EBP practitioner. The best way to do this is by taking small steps every day and being patient with yourself!
