Summary
Evidence-based practice (EBP) shifts power to scientific evidence over clinical expertise. This article outlines EBP implementation stages, integrating various models for clarity and nurse education.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Healthcare Management
- Evidence-Based Practice
Background:
- Evidence-based practice (EBP) is transforming healthcare by prioritizing scientific evidence.
- A shift in power dynamics from clinical expertise towards evidence is a key aspect of EBP.
- Understanding EBP's operational process is crucial for effective implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the operational process of evidence-based practice (EBP).
- To present the implementation stages of EBP.
- To integrate various conceptions and models of EBP stages.
Main Methods:
- Review and synthesis of existing literature on EBP stages.
- Integration of different models and formulations of EBP implementation.
- Descriptive approach to outlining the operational process.
Main Results:
- A consolidated presentation of EBP implementation stages.
- Clarification of the rules and implications of EBP for nurses.
- Addressing the variability in existing EBP stage models.
Conclusions:
- The presented stages offer a unified framework for EBP implementation.
- Enhanced understanding of EBP is expected to improve its adoption by nurses.
- This integrated approach supports the core principles of evidence-based practice.
