Q

Research-Practice Gap

A

 Many studies reveal that nurses do not keep up with the current research.
 Lack of critical review of research articles results in little or no knowledge creep.
 Education level of many practicing staff nurses may not emphasize the need for critical review of research.

25
Q

Historical Attempts to Increase Utilization of Evidence

WICHE

A

 Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education
 6 year (mid 70s) study involving regional collaboration
 Looked at target and non-targeted research and utilization.
 Resulted in push for research to be included in all BSN programs

26
Q

Historical Attempts to Increase Utilization of Evidence

CURN

A

 Conduct and Utilization of Research in Nursing
 Michigan Nurse’s Association
 5 year project
 Looked at dissemination of findings, facilitating organizational changes, and encouraging collaborative research.
 Found that research needs to be disseminated widely and must be relevant to nurse’s job
 Resulted in a 9 volume series of research

27
Q

Historical Attempts to Increase Utilization of Evidence

RARIN

A

 Retrieval and Application of Research in Nursing (California)
 To facilitate transfer from research to practice.
 Stimulated organizational changes to increase value in research.

28
Q

Implementation Models

Provide some guidance for integrating research into practice on several levels:

A

 Clinical Scholars Model (see lecture on theory)
 Johns Hopkins Model (see lecture on theory)
 Stetler
 Iowa

29
Q

Stetler Model

A

 Based on Stetler & Marram
 Evaluates both products and processes of EBP
 Individual nurses must read research and use evidence based practice (tricky because the evidence keeps changing).

30
Q

Stetler Model

Preparation

A

select an appropriate articles

31
Q

Stetler Model

Validation

A

is evidence sound, sufficient, and credible?

32
Q

Stetler Model

Comparative/Decision Making

A

assess if reliable and valid, organize, condense, label, and determine meaning,

33
Q

Stetler model

Translation and application

A

is it suitable for this organization, cost/benefit, how will info be used and evaluated?

34
Q

Stetler model

evaluation

A

impact, was it successful?

35
Q

Iowa model

A

Focus on organization as a whole
Answers questions
Is there sufficient evidence?
Is the change appropriate for adoption?
Process:
Selection of a clinical problem or theoretical issue
Literature review for scientific merit and sufficiency as a basis for change.
Assessment and planning
Examine transferability, feasibility, and cost:benefit ratio
Implementation and evaluation
Pilot or clinical trial
Examine process, barriers, outcomes

36
Q

Considerations for Clinical Trials

A
Replication needed?
Sound research base?
