This study defines dynamic capabilities for evidence-based practice in nursing. It identifies key attributes, antecedents, and consequences, offering a new perspective for nursing managers to enhance practice.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Healthcare Management
- Evidence-Based Practice
Background:
- Healthcare environments are complex and evolving, requiring nurses to adapt.
- Evidence-based practice (EBP) is dynamic, necessitating dynamic capabilities in nurses.
- A clear concept of dynamic capabilities within EBP is currently lacking.
Purpose of the Study:
- To derive and define the concept of dynamic capabilities for evidence-based practice.
- To establish an operational definition for evidence-based practice dynamic capabilities.
- To provide nursing managers with a new framework for implementing EBP.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive Boolean search of five major databases (Web of Science, ProQuest, CINAHL, PubMed, Emerald) was performed.
- 35 relevant articles were selected based on inclusion criteria.
- The Walker and Avant concept derivation and analysis strategy was employed.
Main Results:
- Key attributes identified include sensing, learning, integration, and coordination capabilities.
- Antecedents encompass personal and infrastructure-related factors.
- Consequences include improved patient outcomes, reduced costs, and increased nurse job satisfaction.
Conclusions:
- An operational definition for evidence-based practice dynamic capabilities was developed.
- This concept addresses limitations of existing 'evidence-based practice competence' definitions.
- It offers nursing managers a novel perspective for effective EBP implementation.
