Summary
Nurses can improve patient care and workplace environments by actively participating in evidence-based practice (EBP). Empowering nurses through EBP implementation leads to better outcomes for patients and families.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)
Background:
- Nurses often report dissatisfaction due to unrecognized input on patient care and workplace improvements.
- Lack of recognized input can hinder professional engagement and practice development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore how nurses can actively voice their practice through evidence-based practice (EBP).
- To highlight the empowering role of EBP in pediatric nursing for improved patient and family outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing the five steps of implementing EBP.
- Encouraging active nurse involvement in EBP processes within healthcare settings.
Main Results:
- Nurses can gain an active voice by engaging in EBP implementation.
- Pediatric nurses are uniquely positioned to drive change through evidence-based approaches.
Conclusions:
- Active participation in EBP empowers nurses to enhance patient care.
- Continuous questioning, evidence evaluation, and implementation of best practices are key for pediatric nurses.

01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:29Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
01:30Current Trends in Nursing II
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
01:30Accountability and Responsibility of a Nurse I
Accountability in nursing is a fundamental principle that underscores the obligation of nurses to take responsibility for their actions and answer for any errors or omissions in patient care. This principle is grounded in the professional, legal, and ethical frameworks that shape nursing practice. For instance, nurses must adhere to all relevant laws, regulations, and practice standards, including guidelines set forth by nursing boards and professional bodies, to ensure their actions comply...
01:25Fundamentals of Nursing Process II
There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...
