Definitions

  Evidence-based practice can be thought of as requiring


"the integration of the best research evidence with our
clinical expertise and our patient's unique values and
circumstances." (Straus, et al., 2005)

  "Fortunately, evidence-based practice (EBP) is an


approach that enables clinicians to provide highest
quality of care in meeting the multifaceted needs of their
patients and families." (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2005)

Why the rapid spread of
evidence-based practice?

Some of major reasons cited by Sackett et al (1997)


for the spread of the EBP movement have been :
  the lack of research-based information to support
clinical decision making
  the lack research-based guidelines and protocols to use
in clinical practice
  the overwhelming volume and variability of new journal
information
  the inadequacy of traditional sources of information (e.g.
textbooks out of date) LOGO
What are the benefits of
evidence-based practice?

1.  To patients/consumers

Patient typically accept recommended care


from health professionals with the unspoken
assumption that the practitioner know what
works

LOGO

evidence-based practice?

2.  To nurses

  EBP allows a more structured and streamlined way of


keeping abreast of relevant new developments without
becoming over-whelmed by information overload
  EBP also allows nurse to communicate effectively with
their patients and with the healthcare team about the
rationales for decision making and care plans
  An EBP nurse is a confident professional, feeling
assured that they are providing care that is supported by
facts rather than habits, and can take legal
accountability for their practice LOGO

evidence-based practice?

3.  To the healthcare organization


  EBP philosophy allow healthcare organization to position themselves
in the market as quality institution.
  An EBP-compliant institution should be less likely to attract
litigation, or to successfully defend the care delivered.
  EBP allows the scrutinizing of practice for effectiveness.
  This process often results in practice changes that allow significant
cost savings, or alternatively justify necessary additional
expenditure
  This is attractive to organizations frequently struggling to meet
assigned budgetary limits, or lobbying government for additional
funds

4.  To
the
community

  Through
the
u-liza-on
of
EBP,
finite
resources
are

not
wasted
on
the
delivery
of
ineffec-ve

interven-ons.

  EBP
limits
the
amount
of
disability
and
suffering

throughout
the
community
by
ensuring
the
most

current
and
effec-ve
care
is
provided.

6.  Evaluation

LOGO
1. Ask or identify the important
clinical question

  HOW?? PICO

  Patient
  Age, sex, ethnicity, etc.
  Condition, diseases, general health status
  Intervention
  Education, diagnostics, treatment plan, self-care, etc.
  Comparison Intervention
  Placebo, etc.
  Outcome
  Expected and actual effects on patient LOGO
PICO
  The nurses want to know:
What is the best way of obtaining a urine specimen
culture, from a child?

Population: Children suspected of having UTI (Urinary


tract infection), who are not yet toilet training
Intervention: Bag-catch urine specimen, clean-catch urine
specimen
Comparison: Suprapubic aspiration
Outcome: Culture contamination

LOGO
PICO
The revised question:
In children suspected having of UTI, who are not yet toilet
training, what is the risk of culture contamination when
urine is obtained by bag-catch or clean catch, as
compared with urine obtained by suprapubic aspiration
directly from the bladder?

  Not all questions are of a clinical nature

  Intervention can be interpreted very broadly

LOGO
  Do nurse led tobacco cessation interventions
result in decreased smoking rates after hospital
admission for coronary heart disease?

  What are the factors, identified by mothers who


live in the deprived inner city areas, that
influences them to breastfeed or to bottle-feed
using infant milk formula

QUALITY OF EVIDENCE

TRIP = turning research into practice


Simultaneously searches evidence-based sources of systematic reviews, practice
guidelines, and critically-appraised topics and articles
LOGO
LOGO
4. Integrate the evidence into
clinical decisions

Key points:
•  Research evidence is, on its own, insufficient to ensure
the robust clinical decisions necessary for clinically
effective health care

•  Good clinical decisions require the sophisticated


application of research findings in the context of
clinical expertise, patient preferences and values, and
the individual decisions

•  The availability of resources influences how research


evidence is interpreted and applied LOGO

Clinical expertise:
The ability to use our clinical skills and past experience to rapidly
identify each patient’s unique health state and diagnosis, their
individual risks and benefits of potential interventions, and their
personal values and expectations (Sackett et al 2000)

Intuitive practice:
A way in which we know and behave about the situation that is not
based on conscious reasoning or rational thought process
(Parahoo 1997)
… Builds on repeated practice situations, it is context specific and it
enables the integration of complex pieces of a data to derive a
decision that is difficult to articulate through linear rules
(Greenhalgh 2000)

LOGO
5. Implement best evidence in
clinical practice
Where to start?

•  Identifying appropriate topics to address


  Consider local and national views on the topic
  Attitudes to using research evidence

•  Choosing a project manger

•  Diagnosing the situation


The organizational environment, stakeholders and
practitioner opinion leaders, grassroots workers, Users’ views,
”the way we do things round here”, SWOT analysis
LOGO
5. Implement … cont’

How to implement the changes?


•  Developing a dissemination and implementation
strategy
•  General/ specific approaches to manage change
Educational approach, epidemiological stances,
marketing of a product, information or strategies,
behavioural changes, social interactionism,
organizational approach, resources and management
issues, realistic goals and time frames, reviewing.

LOGO
6. Evaluation

Evaluating the progress and effects of the


changes?

•  Maintaining close contact with the progress and effects

•  Formal evaluation and dissemination

LOGO
How Do I Participate in an Evidence-
Based Practice?

  Ask an authority or expert in the field


  Consult a textbook
  Look for an article in a nursing journal
  Look for an article in a scholarly journal
  Ask a nursing peer
  Use simple trial and error
  Use your intuition, judgment, or reasoning skills
to solve the particular problem
