Introduction
Evidence based practice is any practice in the medical field that relies on the scientific evidence
for guiding and making decision. Unlike the practice that rely on evidence, unevidenced practice
may rely on intuition, tradition or other unproven methods. It is always important to utilize
evidence based practices especially in the medical field where life is a key concern to every
single move in an individual’s life. Anything that affects a patient is of concern and needs to be
addressed an amicable manner to bring out the required results of the individual groups. The
paper aims at integrating the knowledge and understanding of concepts principle that are in
relational with evidence based practice and contextualize it to existing clinical issue in Australia
(the three chronic conditions: coronary heart disease, cancer and mental illness) send
demonstrate why it is significant in to nursing knowledge and reality of practice.
The problem
There is one major serious health problem that has become one time talk of heath care
disparities. This include three of the leading causes of death in Australia. The three diseases are
considered as a local and even national health need and issue. It is defecting to admit that mental
illness could also be part of the leading causes of diseases in Australia. In any case, the recorded
cases and reports reveals that the leading causes of diseases are coronary heart diseases, cancer
and mental illness particularly dementia ad Alzheimer. The issue is that the diseases are
preventable ore less than cure. Yet there is nothing constructive ad improvement in the heath
sector to bring a new hope in the people of Australia.

According to Trollor et al. (2017), 145, 0000 estimations of the new cases of cancer were
estimated to be diagnosed in Australia in the year 2019 with the number set to rise to 150,000 by
the year 2020. As of 2015, standardized age was 339 per 100000, the heart attack rate for men
however was higher than that of women (Tummala & Farshid, 2015).
Significance of problem.
It is important that we understand that the three categories of diseases are the leading causes of
death in Australia. According to Nichols et al. 2015)) the three categories if diseases makes it a
very big issue in Australia. Crossland et al. (2016) notes that it is the greatest issue in the
country. There is a great need to do something especially in identifying heathy ways by which
the general population will live a life to their full age without necessarily being cut short by the
diseases prematurely. It is surprising how mental illness also comes in as one if the illnesses that
are leading to death. It something that one can hardly believe. It is important to address the
problem for the safety of the future generations.
If the problem is not addressed, it will conynue becoming a threat to the nation and have negative
impacts on the economical, political and social wellbeing of the nation.
The reason why I chose evidenced based approach because the outcome of employing such an
approach is relaibe and trustworthy.
Searchable question
Could blended, mordern treatment plans reduce Cancer, mental illness and cardiovascular among
individuals in Australia?
The question fits as PICO and it best be answered holistically and not at an individual level.
