Week 6 Area of Interest Power Point Presentation From Expert Recently 2023
1. INTRODUCTION:
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an evidence-based
... [Show More] approach to clinical decision-making, defined as the integration of the best available scientific evidence in nursing practice. Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a key concept that addresses how to identify, adopt, implement and evaluate interventions based on evidence published in high-quality research journals. As future advanced practice nurses, we are encouraged to do what we can to ensure our clinical decisions are based on the best available evidence. We have a responsibility to our patients and ourselves to ensure that we use this knowledge and make the right decisions for our patients.
This presentation will go over the following topics:
• What exactly is evidence-based practice (EBP)?
• What is its significance in nursing practice?
• A conceptual model that could be used to develop and implement an EBP
• Area of Interest
• Change-influencing factors
• Competencies of the NONPF
Slide 2; EVIDENCE-BASED DATA AND PRACTICES
Evidence-based practice is intended to test a procedure, practice, or theory through empirical research. Evidence-based practice is commonly implemented in healthcare settings and education to ensure that interventions are based on sound research (Stevens, 2017).
Why must we be involved in evidence-based projects?
• Improve patient outcomes
• Improve professional development in clinical trials
• Access to relevant clinical information
• Clinical research collaboration
• Improve the quality of health care
• Catch the most likely treatment effect to be found in the research
• Provide opportunities for a second opinion that can change diagnosis and treatment plan in an effective way
• Provide a hedge against failures or bad results during future clinical research studies
SLIDE 3; EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE MODEL
The evidence-based practice model is a systematic method for applying research findings to the real world. It involves integrating clinical expertise and patient values with the best available external evidence from systematic reviews, including randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, and other forms of rigorous research (Kumah et al., 2019). The evidence-based practice relies on up-to-date information about comparative benefits and harms to decide on appropriate interventions for individual patients.
ACE STAR Star model of Evidence-Based Practice
The ACE STAR is an evidence-based practice model developed in Canada to improve knowledge translation and address the implementation challenges of researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and consumers (McNett et al., 2021).
It consists of a series of steps designed to build towards a final product, namely an evidence-informed decision or guidelines.
Two main research perspectives are taken into account in the design of the ACE STAR:
The first one is the systematic review. A systematic review involves a detailed search of all relevant studies, performed in a predefined way that accomplishes three tasks.
The second is the patient perspective. It is important to establish how patients see their condition and want to be treated for it, even if it involves treatment options that are not proven by scientific evidence. This is particularly important in chronic diseases or will have a long-lasting impact on their quality of life. People with these conditions usually need to make many decisions over time.
Slide 4: ACE STAR Star model of Evidence-Based Practice (cont'd)
The Star Model gives a focal point for EBP projects, and it is an important part of a quality assurance framework. The Star Model was designed mainly to measure and support nursing interventions, but it can also be applied in other disciplines (Steven2017).
The model consists of six components that provide the information necessary for determining the effects of nursing care on patient outcomes: Intervention, Environment, Obstacles, Patient-specific factors (PSF), Timing or Sequence of events, and Standards. The model has been used successfully in many different health care settings. However, in the real world of healthcare, it is not obvious how to apply the Star Model. There are different ways for nurses to arrive at the same conclusion. A problem has been that this has led to confusion about what nursing interventions do and do not matter.
Slide 5: AREA OF INTEREST
Depression and Suicide
Mental health and depression are some of the most prevalent issues in our society, but they can become deadly with a lack of funding and early intervention. Suicide is one of the most common yet preventable causes of death worldwide. To reduce suicides, finding people at risk for suicide [Show Less]
