Effective Strategies for Teaching Evidence-Based Practice in Undergraduate Nursing Programs
1Assistant Professor (Drs Silva and Lopez), Gayle Greve Hunt School of Nursing, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, El Paso.
Background:
Literature shows that nursing program graduates cannot apply skills related to evidence-based practice (EBP) on graduation. However, the influence of EBP on quality and safety in nursing is well documented and shows that innovative strategies for teaching the content need to be explored.
Problem:
Teaching EBP in nursing programs is challenging due to students' attitudes and lack of engagement. These challenges are compounded when the program is accelerated or an undergraduate completion program.
Approach:
A literature search was conducted to identify best practices for improving the quality of EBP courses. The findings, along with the application of EBP 7 steps, were identified and implemented in the course redesign.
Conclusions:
A structured and sequential approach to learning core skills related to EBP may be an effective method of improving course quality and application of EBP skills upon graduation.
