Chapter 1 Flashcards
a diligent systematic inquiry or study that validates and refines existing knowledge and develops new knowledge
research
a scientific process that validates and refines existing knowledge and generates new knowledge that directly and indirectly influences nursing practice
nursing research
the unique combo of the best research evidence brings implemented by expert nurse clinicians in providing care to PT and families with specific health circumstances and values to promote quality, safe, cost effective outcomes
EBP
What are the 3 elements of EBP?
- Best research evidence (ex: evidence based guidelines for assessment and management of HTN)
- Nurses clinical expertise (ex: RN’s and students management of HTN
- Patients circumstances and values (ex: adult <60 years of age hispanic women with BP > 140/90 mmHg)
why is research important for EBP? (DII)
D = Develops empirical knowledge (data driven) base
I = identifies best practices that are based on clinical practices
I = improve outcomes for: patient and family, the nurse, and the healthcare system
Discuss the past and present activities influencing research in nursing.
Florence nightingale started the research in the 19th century, clinical research, timeline 2000 = healthy people 2030, NIH —> NINR (funding agency for research)
Nursing research has evolved slowly over the years.
Nursing research began in the 19th century with Nightingale.
Clinical research is the current major focus of nursing research and will continue to be so throughout the 21st century.
Nursing research throughout the 21st century:
2000 - HP2010
2000 - biological research for nursing
2002 - joint commission revised policies to support EB care
2004 - worldview of EB nursing
2010 - HP2020
2016 - NINR (national institute of nursing research) mission statement and strategic plan updated
2017 - AACN leading initiatives of research
The ________ of ____________ research and funding has expanded from the treatment of illness to include health promotion and illness prevention.
focus
healthcare
truths or beliefs based on customs or trends, transferred by role modeling and communication. Ex: procedure manuals in hospital
traditions
person with expertise and power is able to influence. This is illustrated when a person credits another as a source of info. Ex: students going to instructors or publishers begins consulted
authority
taking info from other disciplines such as meds, psychology… using knowledge of other fields to guide the nursing practice
borrowing
approach used with unknown outcomes in situations of uncertainty when other sources of knowledge are unable. Knowledge is gained from experience.
trial/error
gaining knowledge by being personally involved. Ex: students are taught how to give IM injections in the classroom but don’t gain knowledge until they are in a clinical setting doing it themselves
personal experience
learning by imitating an expert; ex: a nurse that is higher up than you and watching what they are doing and how they work as a nurse
role modeling
understanding of a situation as a whole that a person usually cannot explain logically. Incorporated a deep knowledge. Ex: nurse recognizing a PT is having a stroke by assessing the condition, intervening, and contracting the HCP
intuition
processing and organizing ideas to reach a conclusion. Making sense of thoughts, experiences, and research evidence.
Inductive and deductive
reasoning
