Nurse Education in Practice
|May 29, 2016
Summary
Undergraduate nursing students improved their evidence-based practice (EBP) skills and positive attitudes by joining clinical research projects. This highlights the importance of integrating research into nursing education to enhance clinical practice.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Health Care Education
Background:
- Translating nursing research into clinical practice is crucial but often challenging.
- Reflective skills are key to bridging the gap between research and practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate how undergraduate nursing students can enhance their evidence-based practice (EBP) knowledge and skills.
- To assess the impact of participating in clinical research projects on nursing students' EBP attitudes.
Main Methods:
- A qualitative approach was employed for data collection and analysis.
- Undergraduate nursing students participated in a pilot clinical research project with thesis guidance.
- Student experiences were gathered through post-project questionnaires.
Main Results:
- Students exhibited high motivation but initially low EBP knowledge.
- Participation positively shifted students' attitudes toward EBP.
- EBP integration fostered critical thinking, pride, and ownership in clinical settings.
Conclusions:
- Clinical research project participation enhances nursing students' EBP skills and attitudes.
- Nursing curricula and pedagogical approaches significantly influence EBP adoption among students.
- Integrating research into education is vital for advancing evidence-based nursing practice.

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...
