NURS 350 Report: Evidence-Based Practice Challenges and Solutions

This report examines the differences between research and evidence-based practice (EBP) within the context of nursing. It explores how research findings are translated into practical applications, emphasizing the importance of EBP in improving healthcare quality. The report also provides an example of EBP implementation, potentially within a specific healthcare facility or the broader nursing profession. It addresses challenges and barriers encountered during implementation, such as lack of time, computer skills, and language proficiency, and suggests strategies to overcome these obstacles. The report highlights the need for restructuring healthcare systems to facilitate EBP and improve patient outcomes, advocating for initiatives such as providing internet access and computer training to nurses. The references cited support the discussed concepts and provide further reading on the subject.

Research and evidence-based practice (EBP)
EBP also known as the Evidence based practice, typically focuses on the research
findings, improvement in the quality factor of the data and the other formats as well. The major
challenges are to find out the difference between the research and the evidence based practice as
it may sound quite common but are not. The term Evidence based practice is utilized to fill the
gaps between the research being conducted and the implication of the research on the basis of the
evidence based practice (Babcock & Thonus, 2018).
The motivation behind conducting the research is either to create a new knowledge or to
approve existing learning dependent on a hypothesis. Research studies are inclusive of the
responding to the explicit research questions with the aid of the methodical, logical request
utilization of the taught, thorough strategies by test theories. Though the research is about
investigation, examination, and disclosure of the results, the additional requirements are that of
understanding of the way of thinking of science. There must be utilization of the logical
technique by the specialists in methodical, successive advances, for the research results to be
viewed as solid and legitimate (Kozleski, 2017).
Implementation of the evidence-based practice
As it can be observed from the education especially in case of the practicing nurse,
education and science, the impact of the evidence based practice has been echoed a lot. A proper
restructuring and the designing of the healthcare sector is required for the better transformation
and the quality based treatment. It also calls for the sound and the effective care. In the opinion
of the various National experts, it has been reflected that the nurses who are engaged in the
practice of the business are giving more contribution, to fulfill the responsibilities associated
with the EBP. This was the major challenge in the scenario of the today as it would majorly
affect the Iranian nurses (Hindawi, 2014). It has been found that around 56% of the
implementation of the EBP is majorly linked with the individual traits and the most common
barriers are lack of time to go through the literature, lack of the computer operating skills and
lastly the failure of the English proficiency, lack of the working capital, shortage of the nurses
are also major factors or barriers. There are certain ideas that must be followed by the nurses or

say initiatives shall be taken in order to gain a competitive advantage as well as the self-
confidence. The ideas have been presented below in detail with recommendations.
Overcoming ideas
 To impact better patient results, there must be change in the new learning so as to format
them into clinically valuable structures, viably represented over the whole consideration
group inside the setting of a framework, and an estimation must be made as far as there
are results in context of execution and wellbeing.
 The facility of the internet must be provided so that the nurses can get a command on the
English language and can gain the immense confidence.
 A proper training of the computer operations shall be conducted by the government is
that the nurses shall be able to learn to access the computers and the digital medium. This
would also save the cost and the time (Straus, Glasziou, Richardson, & Haynes 2018).
