INTRODUCTION
Evidence based practice (EBP) is an effective problem solving approach which is mainly
used in clinical practice. This helps in incorporating the best evidence by understanding the
preference of the patient, well designed studies, understanding the value of the patient and
expertise of clinical helps in making strategic decision associated with the patient care (Johnsen
and Friborg, 2015). Evidence based practice helps in improving the health outcomes of the
patients. This study will highlight on determining how effective is Cognitive Behavioural
Therapy in treating mental health patients with depression. This study will reflect on literature
searching process which is relevant for the nursing practice. This will be light on by examining
key articles associated with the aim of the research. Evidence based practice model is an
effective process of collecting, processing, critically analysing the findings of the research which
in turn helps in improving clinical practice. Use of Evidence based practice model helps in
providing high quality care services in the most cost efficient manner. It is important to use EBP
because it mainly focuses on providing the most effective care with the key aim to improve the
outcomes of the patients. This is beneficial in providing individualize and personalized care to
the patients. It helps in enhancing the expertise of the professional expertise and also reduce cost
in order to provide effective care and services. The use of evidence based practice in nursing
helps in effectively evaluating the research in order to understand the risk associated with the
treatment. This in turn helps in delivering exceptional value added care to the patient by
standardizing health care services and attaining best results. This study will determine, why
Cognitive behavioural therapy is an effective technique which helps in treating mental health of
the patients with depression.

I have evaluated that depression tends to affect large number of people across the world
which is mainly associated with the personal, economic and social morbidity and productivity.
This is turn results in level of health and care services which in turn leads to higher level of care
services to the individual. It is very crucial for the nurses and health care practitioners to
effectively optimize the use of various health resources. Despite of high prevalence rate and

several numerous barriers it has been assessed that depression is considered to be one of the
major factor which in turn results in better health care outcomes.
I have determined that, by the year 2030, depression is considered to be one of the
leading factor of disease burden at a global scale. The key aim of carrying out the particular
study is to gain wider knowledge on the subject matter which is mainly associated to gain wider
knowledge on CBT in order to treat people with depression and anxiety. This article is selected
in order to assess the cost effectiveness and efficiency of the one day cognitive behavioural
therapy self confidence workshops which is mainly associated with the reduction in depression.
This article is also very useful in demonstrating the various indicators associated with the self
esteem, anxiety and prognostic factors. The researcher of the study has carried out determine
that, despite of the higher prevalence, the individual seeking help for depression is quite low.
I have evaluated that, depression and anxiety tends to place a very significant burden on
the health services. This study will help in critically analysing and assessing the effectiveness of
8 week community based CBT approach for self help group classes in order to evaluate
symptoms associated with anxiety, depression and social functions.
This article is selected by the researcher in order to identify whether CBT is effective
among the individuals who are at high risk of diabetes suffering from depression (Fernandez and
et.al., 2015). This helps in determining whether CBT is an effective tool in order to reduce
depressive symptoms and improve glycaemic control with depressed diabetic patients.
This article is selected by the researcher in order to effectively determine the
effectiveness of multi modal CBT approach for treating symptoms related with anxiety and
depression in relation with primary care (Manber and et.al., 2016).
Rationale: The main reason for carrying out the research on the particular research topic
because of the academic interest in order to critically analyse on the cognitive behaviour therapy
in order to treat mental health patients who are suffering from depression. The researcher has
also carried out this study because depression is a current issue and it helps in determining wider
knowledge on how effective is CBT in order to treat individuals suffering from depression,
anxiety and impaired disorders.
