According to the textbook, nurses in various settings are adopting a research-based (or evidence-based) practice that incorporates research findings into their decisions and interaction with clients. How do you see this being applied in your workplace?
From the beginnings of the nursing research endeavor, nurses have been interested in using nursing research to effectively impact the care of individuals and aggregate groups. Despite other incentives for the conduct of 96research, none is more powerful for a nurse than the difference that might be made in the lives of individuals and aggregates for the betterment of health. Thus, early emphasis in the 1980s on research utilization has been expanded, with the increasing emphasis on EBP. Though the terms research utilization and evidence-based practice are related, research utilization has been described as a subset of EBP. EBP encompasses multiple types of evidence such as research findings, research reviews, and evidence-based theory, and the integration of that evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences and values (Cherry & Jacob, 2017).
Many EBP nursing research incorporate the patients opinion and value to achieve better standards of care in which the patient can feel safe and can see that they matter. Long ago, doctors only treated illnesses and after EBP research, they determined that by listening to the actual patient and allowing them to be part of their healthcare desicions, they did better and recovered quicker.
