Teaching evidence-based practice: Knowledge to implementation in a BSN program, part 1.
Worldviews on Evidence-based Nursing 2022 June
BACKGROUND: Despite increased recognition for the importance of evidence-based practice (EBP), nurses still identify a need for more education and skill-building in the process used to provide evidence-based care. Nurse educators play a vital role in addressing these needs. This article is part 1 of a two-part series.
AIMS: To describe an interactive learning process regarding EBP taught over two courses that allow students to not only appraise evidence but also implement evidence on a clinical unit. Part 1 focuses on course one, Evidence-Based Practice, which takes place during junior year.
METHODS: In course one, students learn about EBP steps 1-3. Faculty assign students to teams of three to four for an evidence-based project. Project scenarios are written ahead of time by faculty, and student teams are given class time for project completion. After course completion, an anonymous survey was distributed to measure the student perceived achievement for the EBP learning objectives. Students responded to statements using a 5-point Likert scale for level of agreement (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree) regarding achieving course objectives.
RESULTS: The evidence-based project culminated with a PowerPoint presentation to the class with recommendations for nursing practice based on the best evidence for the scenario they were provided. Eighty students responded to the evaluation survey, and mean scores were 4.0 or higher. This finding indicates that students had a high degree of perceived achievement.
LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION: Interactive learning in teams promotes discussion and understanding of EBP and mimics real-life EBP implementation. Implementing EBP steps should be tied to clinical scenarios or clinical situations to enhance student learning.
