1RN EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE OF RN
Baccalaureate education offers a genuine perception of how knowledge is
produced, comprising the research process, interprofessional perspectives , clinical
judgment, and patient preference as applied to practice. This simple understanding
functions as the foundation for more complex graduate-level applications. The
process of collecting, processing, and implementing research findings to improve the
work environment, clinical practice, or patient outcomes is known as evidence-based
practice (EBP). Nursing strategies should be realistic, methodical assessments based
on EBP study findings, the American Nurses Association (ANA) reports (ANA,
2020). Use the EBP approach helps physicians to provide the best quality and most
cost-efficient care possible for patients. When nurses learn evidence-based practice,
they are presented with the appropriate evidence supporting assessments and
interventions, refine approaches and develop groundbreaking methods. Both
quantitative and qualitative research approaches produce useful information for our
practice; however, determining which form of evidence offers the best answers to
specific practical questions is important.
Quantitative evidence provides the empirical information required for practice,
and the personal and experiential information vital to practice is validated by
qualitative evidence. Qualitative study expresses its results in the language and
experiences of the participants which are easily applicable to nursing practices (Bettis
et al., 2014). Nurses are drawn to qualitative research as their methods and results
often mimic the art of nursing practice where recognizing the patient as a whole and
knowing patients matter individually. Yet qualitative work has not always been
considered realistic proof. The sources of evidence that contribute to professional
nursing practice can be scientific knowledge, intuition and tacit knowledge, tradition

and personal knowledge. Scientific expertise is located at levels one through four of
the evidence hierarchy and contributes greatly to the growth and development of
experience of nursing. Scientific experience is found at levels one to four of the
continuum of proof, which significantly contributes to the growth which application
of nursing practice. Knowledge conveyed through generations of nurses forms the
foundation of conventional knowledge.
Observable practice, written records, role modeling, books, newspaper articles
forms a bridge in modern practice along with 'experienced' practitioners. Any
experienced practitioner will certainly be able to provide examples of the use of
intuition and tacit knowledge in realistic circumstances. The use of intuition and tacit
knowledge can include predicting cardiac arrest, the need for pain relief, or the
assumption that the life of a patient is close to its end. Personal knowledge is human
knowledge formed by involving oneself in realistic circumstances and events. The
research principles include:
 Patient-Centered Care
 Teamwork and Collaboration
 Evidence-based Practice (EBP)
 Quality Improvement (QI)
 Safety
 Informatics
Three fundamental principles are especially applicable to the ethics of research involving
human subjects, beyond those widely accepted in our cultural tradition: the principles of
reverence for individuals, beneficence and justice.
