Walking the Walk: Integrating Evidence Into Clinical Experiences
Creative Nursing
|May 16, 2019
Summary
Nursing education must integrate evidence-based practice (EBP) to improve patient outcomes. An innovative teaching strategy significantly boosted student understanding of EBP, preparing them for modern healthcare challenges.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Evidence-Based Practice
- Healthcare Improvement
Background:
- Professional nurses require an evidence-based approach to patient care.
- Traditional healthcare practices face challenges in adapting to new evidence.
- Integrating evidence-based practice (EBP) into nursing curricula is crucial for developing critical thinking.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore an innovative teaching strategy for integrating EBP into baccalaureate nursing education.
- To assess the impact of this strategy on nursing students' understanding of EBP concepts.
- To bridge the gap between healthcare practices and improved patient outcomes through education.
Main Methods:
- Faculty in a baccalaureate Adult Health course implemented a novel approach.
- Students were guided to apply evidence to their clinical experiences.
- Pre- and post-implementation surveys measured student understanding of EBP.
Main Results:
- The innovative approach significantly increased student understanding of EBP.
- Student "excellent" or "good" ratings for EBP understanding rose from 46% to 94%.
- This active learning strategy fostered practical application of EBP.
Conclusions:
- Active learning strategies are effective in teaching EBP concepts to nursing students.
- EBP is an integral component of modern healthcare, directly impacting patient outcomes.
- Nursing education must evolve to equip students with the skills to translate evidence into practice.

02:55The Evidence for Evolution
47.7K
Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

01:12What is an Experiment?
17.5K
An experiment is a planned activity carried out under controlled conditions. The purpose of an experiment is to investigate the relationship between two variables. When one variable causes change in another, we call the first variable the explanatory or independent variable. The affected variable is called the response or dependent variable. In a randomized experiment, the researcher manipulates values of the explanatory variable and measures the resulting changes in the response variable. The...

01:19Thomson's e/m Experiment
6.7K
In a beam of charged particles created by a heated cathode, the particles move at different speeds. However, many applications need a beam with uniform particle speeds. An arrangement known as a velocity selector uses electric and magnetic fields to pick particles with a particular speed from the beam.
A particle with charge q, speed v, and mass m enters an area from the top, where the magnetic and electric fields are perpendicular both to the particle's motion and to one another. The magnetic...

01:13Controls in Experiments
16.3K
When conducting an experiment, it is crucial to have control to reduce bias and accurately measure the dependent variables. It also marks the results more reliable. Controls are elements in an experiment that have the same characteristics as the treatment groups but are not affected by the independent variable. By sorting these data into control and experimental conditions, the relationship between the dependent and independent variables can be drawn. A randomized experiment always includes a...

01:13Randomized Experiments
8.9K
The randomization process involves assigning study participants randomly to experimental or control groups based on their probability of being equally assigned. Randomization is meant to eliminate selection bias and balance known and unknown confounding factors so that the control group is similar to the treatment group as much as possible. A computer program and a random number generator can be used to assign participants to groups in a way that minimizes bias.

4.5K
Crossover experiments, also called the repeated-measurements design, is a study design in which all experimental units are exposed to all treatments in different periods. Crossover experiments are generally used in psychology, the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, and medicine.
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.
