consideration of the best available evidence to provide care
evidence informed practice
use of evidence in nurse practice
Research literacy
essential competency for evidence informed practice, it is the ability to locate ,

nursing research
systematic examination of phenomena important to nursing discipline, as well as
nurses, their patients, by answering nurses' questions
development of nursing knowledge
essential to the career
conducting research studies is
critical to the development of evidence
how a study is conducted us dependent on
the research question being asked
,informed consent is needed
when the process involves human subjects
when summarizing data reported in a research study the nurse should note
when, how, where and by whom the investigation was conducted and who and what
were studied
a researchable clinical nursing problem is
one thats not satisfactory resolved by current nursing interventions, occurs frequently in
a group, can be measured or observed and has a possible solution within an attainable
realm
to determine whether research findings can be used
in nursing practice, the nurse considers the scientific worth of the study by
substantiating evidence from other studies the similarity of the research setting to the
nurses own clinical practice setting, the status of current nursing theory and factors
affecting the feasibility of application
