The Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) feature column in the Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing (CJON) is concluding. EBP has become integral to oncology nursing, making a dedicated column unnecessary as it
Area of Science:
- Oncology Nursing
- Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)
Background:
- The Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) feature column in the Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing (CJON) has been a staple for two decades.
- Oncology nursing has significantly evolved, with EBP principles now widely integrated into clinical practice and decision-making.
Purpose of the Study:
- To announce the discontinuation of the EBP feature column in CJON.
- To acknowledge the pervasive integration of EBP within the field of oncology nursing.
Main Methods:
- The abstract does not detail specific methods but reflects on the evolution of EBP in oncology nursing over 20 years.
- It highlights the widespread adoption of EBP in clinical settings, symptom management, survivorship guidelines, journal clubs, and guideline development committees.
Main Results:
- Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is now ubiquitous in oncology nursing.
- Oncology nurses actively utilize EBP in daily practice, patient care decisions, and the development of clinical guidelines.
Conclusions:
- The widespread integration of EBP into oncology nursing practice and CJON articles negates the need for a separate EBP column.
- The evolution signifies a maturation of the field where EBP is a standard component of nursing care and professional development.
