...Implementation of Evidence-Based Practice Sheila Wright Submitted to Sharon Mooney, RN, MSN in partial fulfillment of NR 460R Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing Regis University April 9, 2010 Implementation of Evidence-Based Practice Throughout history, nursing practice has experienced change. Florence Nightingale initiated the greatest change in nursing in the mid-1800’s when she gathered data regarding the morbidity and mortality of soldiers (Chitty & Black, 2007). Nightingale recognized there was a need for change to improve patient outcomes. Her determination to provide the best possible care, based on the evidence she gathered, has inspired a profession. Today, the process of using research to care for patients is referred to as evidence-based practice. The purpose of this paper is to define and explain the importance of evidence-based practice, discuss qualitative and quantitative research studies which affect medical-surgical areas, and barriers preventing research utilization and how they may be overcome. Definition of Evidence-Based Practice There are numerous definitions of evidence-based practice (EBP). EBP is defined by Boswell and Cannon (2007) as, “A research-based, decision-making process used to guide the delivery of holistic patient care by nurses” (p. 340). Cope (as cited in Chitty & Black, 2007), defines EBP as “using the best available research findings to make clinical decisions that are most effective and beneficial for patients”...

Health care has gone through a major restructuring period. Some of the key changes were moving from hospital based care to care being provided on an outpatient basis and in nursing homes or managed care facilities. Many medical procedures are now being performed in non-hospital settings, like a physician’s office, patient’s homes, or separate outpatient clinics or surgical centers. Most of these changes were implemented to reduce the number of hospital beds needed and the reduce the length of a hospital stay. There changes were considered the first step towards reducing cost in the healthcare field.

...Qualitative Analysis of Central and Midline care in Medical/Surgical setting. The key words for the study are central line bloodstream, infection, medical-surgical, phenomenology and qualitative. The study identified medical-surgical nurses having a limited understanding of the complexities involved in the prevention of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs). The study was conducted to thoroughly look at the phenomenon of central line care to develop an understanding of the experience as relates to nursing care. The design that was applied for this particular study is a qualitative phenomenological framework. This design was preferred due to the amass of information, which was necessary if a diversified range of response was to be obtained. Through the use of this design, respondents would be free to express their experiences without being restricted to yes or no questions. According to Morrison, it was the best design to be applied for a study of this nature considering the sensitivity of the phenomenon under study. The setting takes place in a seasonally fluctuating 400-600 bed community hospital located in Southwest Florida. To increase reliability of results, the researchers in this study decided on this particular hospital with a purpose of obtaining information during times when there were many patients in the hospital and times when there were few patients in the hospital. A sample of 15 full-time, medical-surgical, registered nurses, 8 working the day shift...

Mr. Gordon has type 2 diabetes and is on oral antihyperglycemic medication. Before he came to the hospital, Mr. Gordon was able to only ambulate for short distances. He has orders to get up in a chair twice a day. Joan, a student nurse, is caring for Mr. Gordon this morning. She has reviewed his medical record and is now ready to start caring for him. Joan assesses Mr. Gordon using the Braden Scale and determines that his score is 12. What does this score indicate about Mr. Gordon’s pressure ulcer risk?

...Standardization of Nursing Protocol for Cardiac Arterial Bypass Patients Abstract Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is an important factor in determining medical courses of action. Nurses have long used tradition rather than evidence in making decisions about beside care; to convince them to switch practice, it is useful to draw a comparison between the efficacy of these disparate routes. Our study designed a research question based on the PICOT model for the cardiac floors and designed procedures using the Kotter and Cohen’s Model of Change. In order to study the effect discussed in our PICOT question, a web search was conducted and the quality of each pertinent study reviewed. Introduction In the nursing staff of an adult Cardiac Surgical Care unit, how does the buy-in from the staff for Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) changes in a new Coronary Arterial Bypass Graft (CABG) pathway affect the decreases in infection rate among this patient population when compared to the old way of delivering patient care through nursing tradition in a six month time frame? The formation of a guideline for practice in nursing is not a new occurrence; books and manuals have been a reality for many years. However, in the past these resources lacked the evidence for standards of care, which traditionally have been based on professional consensus and tradition. The Joint Commission has recognized processes that can be measured regarding patient outcomes and care in order to meet standards for Medicare...

...information, resulting in potential errors, have been on the rise at Pelham Medical Center. In the past, the primary nursing staff was giving verbal report to oncoming nurses at the nursing stations. There are many disadvantages to this practice. Verbal report at the nursing station is distracting with so many nurses talking at the same time and is frequently interrupted by other staff, call bells, and family members. There are also potential HIPPA violations when reporting on patients within earshot of other people who are not involved in that patient’s care. The patients and their family members or care givers are not directly involved in the report and hand off process (Gregory, Tan, Tilrico, Edwardson, & Gamm, 2014). Pertinent information was being reported incorrectly or not reported at all. Physician orders were being missed and not completed. All of these events, collectively, have adversely affected patient safety and overall patient satisfaction. Patients and their families do not like to feel that the primary nurse does not know the “whole picture” or has an incorrect understanding of the plan of care. In an effort to reduce potential errors, increase communication between staff and with patients and their care givers, and increase patient and nursing satisfaction, the nursing administration of Pelham Medical Center decided to implement bedside shift report on the medical-surgical unit. This change has been implemented and is mandatory practice, barring exceptional...
