Incorporating Evidence-Based Practice Learning Into a Nurse Residency Program: Are New Graduates Ready to Apply
1Author Affiliation: Assistant Professor of Nursing, Oklahoma Baptist University, Shawnee.
Objective:
The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an evidence-based practice (EBP) learning module within a nursing residency program (NRP).
Background:
Utilization of EBP has been shown to improve patient outcomes; however, new-graduate nurses lack the practice application ability, attitudes, knowledge, and skills to incorporate EBP into their personal practice.
Methods:
New-graduate nurses in a hospital NRP participated in this nonexperimental, descriptive, correlational, study. The Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire was utilized in a prestudy-poststudy format to collect data for analysis.
Results:
Statistically significant changes occurred throughout the EBP module in regard to new-graduate nurse practice and knowledge of EBP.
Conclusion:
Enabling novice nurses to foster a spirit of inquiry through EBP literacy is essential to patient outcomes; nonetheless, new-graduate nurse readiness must be further assessed in order to determine appropriate timing of EBP education within NRPs in an effort to improve the application of evidence at the bedside.
