Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a baccalaureate nursing curriculum redesign emphasizing evidence-based practice.
- To outline a sequence of research courses aimed at developing evidence appraisal skills.
- To establish a foundation for evidence-based practice in clinical settings and graduate studies.
Main Methods:
- Curricular redesign of a baccalaureate nursing program.
- Implementation of a sequence of three undergraduate research courses.
- Focus on teaching students to identify, locate, read, and critically appraise evidence.
Main Results:
- Students are prepared to evaluate evidence at various levels (individual studies, systematic reviews, guidelines).
