Summary
Nurse educators face challenges in teaching evidence-based practice (EBP) to students. EBP in nursing requires patient-centered care and ethical principles, promoting critical thinking for high-quality patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Evidence-Based Practice
- Healthcare Ethics
Background:
- Increasing patient empowerment and government initiatives necessitate high-quality, evidence-based nursing care.
- Nurse educators must equip pre-registration students with foundational knowledge in evidence-based practice (EBP).
- Implementing EBP presents a significant challenge within nursing education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the challenges nurse educators face in teaching evidence-based practice to pre-registration student nurses.
- To highlight the importance of evidence-based practice in delivering patient-centered care.
- To emphasize the integration of healthcare ethics principles within evidence-based nursing.
Main Methods:
- This abstract discusses the conceptual framework for teaching evidence-based practice.
- It emphasizes the development of a questioning approach in nursing education.
- Focuses on the application of ethical principles in clinical decision-making.
Main Results:
- Evidence-based practice is crucial for delivering high-quality, patient-centered nursing care.
- Integrating ethical principles (beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, justice) supports evidence-based practice.
- A questioning approach is fostered through evidence-based practice education.
Conclusions:
- Nurse educators play a vital role in establishing a strong foundation of evidence-based practice for future nurses.
- Effective implementation of evidence-based practice enhances patient care quality and promotes ethical nursing.
- Continuous development of evidence-based practice skills is essential for nursing professionals.

01:22Case Studies
There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.

01:13Psychology as a Science
Psychology, as a scientific discipline, aims to understand the mind and behavior through rigorous and systematic methods. The foundation of psychological research is evidence-based, relying heavily on the scientific method to derive and validate knowledge. This structured approach ensures that findings are reliable, valid, and applicable to broader contexts.

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,...
02:40The Scientific Method
Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.
01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...
