Care, lead, and inspire: Infusing innovation into nursing research and evidence-based practice course
Nursing research and evidence-based practice (EBP) are essential components of professional nursing that aim to improve the quality and safety of health care. Nursing research is a systematic process of generating new knowledge or validating existing knowledge that can inform clinical decision-making and nursing practice. EBP is the integration of the best available evidence from research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences and values to achieve optimal outcomes for patients, families, and communities.
In this course, you will learn about the principles and methods of nursing research and EBP, as well as how to critically appraise and apply research evidence to your practice setting. You will also explore the ethical issues and challenges involved in conducting and using nursing research. Additionally, you will discover how to foster a culture of innovation and inquiry in nursing by using creative strategies to generate, disseminate, and implement research findings.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
– Explain a range of research processes and methods, including Māori-specific approaches to research.
– Utilise frameworks to critically review research studies.
– Describe the nurse’s role in locating and critically reviewing research evidence and its relevance to clinical practice.
– Describe the role and function of ethics in nursing research.
– Apply EBP principles and models to address clinical questions and problems.
– Identify barriers and facilitators to EBP implementation in your practice setting.
– Develop an EBP project proposal based on a practice issue or gap.
– Use innovative tools and techniques to disseminate and translate research evidence into practice.
