I’m thinking quite a bit today about Evidence-Based Practice and figured I’d share a resource. We throw this word around a lot, but I find in talking with many clinicians that there is a fundamental difficulty in describing exactly what that means and how to ensure that your practice is indeed evidence-based. The American Journal of Nursing has a pretty comprehensive series on this subject, Evidence-Based Practice, Step by Step. The collection has 12 articles, and 10 are free full-text. There are also 4 CE opportunities attached to the collection (for a fee). Hopefully that will give folks some resources to look more closely at their own practices, if needed.
{Don’t forget: we also have the Understanding Research clinical guide to help with this topic, as well}
