Summary
Clinical nurse educators
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Evidence-Based Practice
- Health Care Research
Background:
- Clinical nurse educators are vital for implementing evidence-based practice.
- They act as key links between research and healthcare.
- Other roles include clinical nurse specialists and advanced nurse practitioners.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review literature on clinical nurse educators and research utilization.
- To analyze findings using the Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (PARIHS) framework.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature review.
- Analysis guided by the PARIHS framework.
Main Results:
- Positive correlation found between research utilization and factors like positive attitudes toward research, higher education, and reading professional journals.
- Identified a gap in critical appraisal and research knowledge among some clinical nurse educators.
- Research utilization is linked to attitude, education, and journal readership.
Conclusions:
- Limited research exists on the determinants of research utilization behavior in clinical nurse educators.
- Future studies should investigate the outcomes of research utilization by these educators.
- Further research should focus on their effectiveness as facilitators and practice contexts.

01:24Critical Thinking I
Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career with...

01:15Nursing Evaluation
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
