  • “Evaluating Credibility of Evidence for Evidence-Based Practice: A Guide for Baccalaureate-Prepared Nurses” “Evidence-Based Approach to Addressing a Chosen Diagnosis: Criteria for Determining Credibility and Incorporating Evidence-Based Practice Models”

    Develop a 2-4 page scholarly paper in which you describe the diagnosis you researched for the previous assessment, and then identify and analyze credible evidence that could be used as the basis for applying EBP to the issue.
    Introduction
    The goal of using evidence-based research findings is to enhance safety and quality of patient care and ensure optimal outcomes are achieved. It is not uncommon to hear a nurse say, “why change it as we’ve always done it this way.” However, this is no longer acceptable in today’s practice environment. The profession of nursing has evolved, and the expectation is that the professional nurse has a scientific foundation to support the care that is provided. As the profession of nursing continues to evolve and engage in health care transformation, baccalaureate-prepared nurses are expanding taking on leadership roles that include incorporating EBPs. To be able to do this, the nurse needs to understand the criteria and makes a resource credible, as this is crucial when deciding if the research is valid and reliable for implementation into health care settings. The nurse will need to incorporate the use of evidence-based practice models. EBP models are designed to assist the nurse in developing a plan to gather evidence to answer a practice problem or question. It is a systematic approach to direct the user to incorporate scholarly findings into current practice. These EBP models lead the nurse through the decision-making process of evaluating the literature to determine the best practice evidence for the practice issue or question.
    It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health Determining the Credibility of Evidence activity prior to developing the report. The activity is a media simulation that offers an opportunity to review a scenario and work on determining the credibility of presented evidence. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 2 successfully. This media simulation is one potential source of context on which to base your assessment submission. This will take just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.
    Professional Context
    As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for locating and identifying credible and scholarly resources to incorporate the best available evidence for the purposes of enhancing clinical reasoning and judgement skills. When reliable and relevant evidence-based findings are utilized, patients, health care systems, and nursing practice outcomes are positively impacted.
    Scenario
    For this assessment, use the specific diagnosis/health issue you selected for the first assessment.
    Instructions
    The purpose of this analysis is to better understand what constitutes credibility of journal articles as well as websites. The role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in incorporating evidence-based research continues to growth in clinical practice. As quality improvement (QI) measures to reduce safety risks continue to be emphasized, the need for evidence-based models and evidence-based templates is growing. This type of systematic approach to incorporating evidence-based findings allows nurses to make clinical and operational decisions based upon the best available evidence. When the most up-to-date evidence-based findings are utilized, patient-centered care improves outcomes and enhances the patient experience.
    Below is a quick review table of several well-known Evidence-Based Practice Models used to guide exploration:
    Evidence-Based Practice Models
    Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice
    Stetler Model
    Ottawa Model
    PARiHS (Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services) Model
    ACE (Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice) Star Model
    ARCC (Advancing Research and Clinical Practice Through Close Collaboration) Mode
    John Hopkins Model
    KTA (Knowledge-to-Action) Model
    For this assessment:
    Explain the criteria that should be used when determining the credibility of journal articles as well as websites.
    Support your explanations with references to the literature or research articles that describe criteria that should be used to determine credibility.
    Your identification and determination of credibility should be done within the context of your chosen diagnosis for this assessment. Your initial identification of resources should be of resources that will best help address the presented diagnosis you selected. Since you are locating resources to help provide evidence-based care for the diagnosis/health care issue you identified in the first assessment, you may want to begin your literature and evidence search from the databases that were identified.
    Be sure to address the following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you will know what is needed for a distinguished score.
    Describe a chosen diagnosis that could benefit from an evidence-based approach.
    Explain criteria that should be considered when determining credibility of resources such as journal articles and websites.
    Analyze the credibility and relevance of evidence and resources within the context of a chosen diagnosis.
    This is where you are selecting the specific resources to help address the diagnosis you selected for the first assessment.
    Identify the Evidence-Based Practice model and explain the importance of incorporating credible evidence into the EBP model used to address a chosen diagnosis. Review the literature below and choose the appropriate model for your diagnosis.
