Q

Evidence-based practice (EBP)

A

The use of the best evidence in making patient care decisions. Evidence comes from research conducted by nurses and other HCPs.

Q

Consumers of nursing research

A

nurses who read research reports to keep-up-to-date on findings that may affect their practice. EBP depends on well-informed nursing research consumers.

17
Q

During what period did nursing research begin to pick up?

A

1950s; increased numbers of nurses with advanced skills and degrees, increases in funding, and the start of the journal “Nursing Research” caused the uptick in nursing research.

A

1960s; research oriented Journals started publication

20
Q

What was happening with nursing research during the 70s?

A

change in emphasis on teaching and nurses’ characteristics to improvements in client care. Nurses started to pay attention to utilization of research findings in practice

22
Q

National Center of Nursing Research (NCNR)

A

Established in 1986 by National Health Institutes (NIH. Purpose is promote and financially support research projects and training relating to pt care.

24
Q

National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR)

A

NCNR promoted to full insstitute status within NIH in 1993. Placed nursing in mainstream of of research activities and expanded funding opportunities

25
Q

What was happening with nursing research during the 90s?

A

more nursing journals, specialty journals, international cooperation integrating EBP into nursing. Sigma Theta Tau international sponsored first international research utilization conference.

27
Q

Translational Research

A

research on how findings from studies can best be translated into practice.

28
Q

Future Directions for Nursing Research

A

Continued Focus on EBP

  • improvement in the quality of nursing studies and in nurses’ skills in locating, understanding, critiquing, and using relevant study results
  • Emergent interest in translational research

Stronger Evidence through Confirmatory Strategies

  • Nurses do not adopt innovations on a poorly designed isolated study
  • Strong research needed –> confirmation through replication

Continued Emphasis on Systematic Reviews

  • cornerstone of EBP
  • rigorously integrate research information on a topic so that conclusions about the state of evidence can be reached

Expanded Local Research in Healthcare Settings

  • Small studies designed to solve local problems will increase
  • the trend will be reinforced as more hospitals become magnet

Expanded Dissemination of Research Findings

  • internet and tech advances promote EBP and distribution of information

Increased Focus on Cultural Issues and Health Disparities

  • Health disparities have become a major concern
  • concerns about cultural sensitivity; research needs to be sensitive to beliefs, behaviors, epidemiology, and values of culturally and linguistically diverse pops.

Clinical Significance and Patient Input

  • findings must be clinically significant
  • patients define what is clinically significant
  • major challenge; incorporating research evidence and pt preferences
29
Q

Replication

A

a term referring to the repetition of a research study, generally with different situations and different subjects, to determine if the basic findings of the original study can be applied to other participants and circumstances.

30
Q

Systematic Review

A

a type of literature review that uses systematic methods to collect secondary data, critically appraise research studies, and synthesize findings qualitatively or quantitatively.

31
Q

Clinical Significance

A

the practical importance of a treatment effect—whether it has a real genuine, palpable, noticeable effect on daily life.

32
Q

NINR’s Strategic Plan for Research (2011,2013)

A
  • health promotion and disease prevention
  • symptom management and self-management
  • end-of-life and palliative care
  • innovation
  • development of nurse scientists
33
Q

Traditional and Authoritative sources of nursing knowledge

A
  • Not research-based
  • based on trial and error, clinical experience, tradition, expert opinion
  • untested traditions, customs, and unit culture
  • ineffective traditional habits exist in facilities that are leaders in EBP
  • Authoritative (faculty or textbook authors) are not infallible, necessary in some cases, usually unchallenged
