Summary
A new Nursing Research Internship Program helps nurses overcome barriers to evidence-based practice. The program successfully increased nurses' use of research literature, improved attitudes toward research, and boosted professional development.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Healthcare Management
- Professional Development
Background:
- Barriers frequently prevent nurses from integrating evidence into clinical practice.
- Nurses require support and opportunities for professional growth to enhance evidence-based practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the development of a Nursing Research Internship Program.
- To address barriers hindering nurses' use of evidence-based practice.
- To foster professional development among staff nurses.
Main Methods:
- Development of a structured Nursing Research Internship Program.
- Implementation of the program for staff nurses.
- Evaluation of the program's impact on practice and professional growth.
Main Results:
- Increased utilization of research literature by nurses for clinical problem-solving.
- Cultivation of more positive attitudes towards research among nursing staff.
- Significant rise in professional development activities undertaken by nurses.
Conclusions:
- The Nursing Research Internship Program effectively overcomes barriers to evidence-based practice.
- The program contributes to nurses' professional growth and enhances research engagement.
- Investing in such programs can improve nursing practice and outcomes.

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,...
01:29Nursing 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:
01:18The Scientific Method in Nursing Process
The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be safely...

01:03Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions
Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome is...

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.
