INTRODUCTION
Evidence-based intervention refers to treatment which has been proven effectively through
evaluation of outcome. This is about proven treatment which needs to be delivered for effective
outcomes and helps people to get health benefits by applying these intervention. These are the
intervention which are likely to be effective in nature. These are effective and there is strong
evidence about the interventions for the treatment. This can provide high benefits to patient for
effectively getting health improvement. This is about importance of evidence based intervention
while providing person-centred care for health improvement and well-being. This essay includes
piece of research and related judgement about its quality and applicability with the help of CASP
tool (Frobisher, (2017)). In this essay, there is discussion about evidence-based practice and their
significance in nursing while providing health and social care environment. There is also
discussion about CASP framework for analyzing research paper and provide rationale. There is
also discussion about justification for the change and to support nursing practices. This assay
also includes the reflection about the findings of the paper about contributing to professional
development and nursing practices.
MAIN BODY
Evidence based practice and its significance
Evidence based practice refers to a explicit, conscientious and judicious use of current
best evidence for delivering effective healthcare treatment in making decisions. It allows
integrated treatment to any patient with best available external clinical evidence from research.
Evidence based practice are developing with time and now related with best research evidence,
patient individual values, clinical expertise and the circumstances along with characteristics of
the practices while delivering healthcare services by health professionals. Evidence based
practice includes clinical reasoning for accumulating information from different sources like
clinical expertise, patient value and circumstances, best research evidence and information from
practice context (Harbord, (2017)). It can say that by applying best research evidence for
decision making. This can help in enhancing skill and training for health professional for
delivering effective healthcare treatment according to patients situation and values.
Evidence based practice is highly important because it can provide one of the most
effective care which is available for patient health improvement healthcare professional like to

deliver effective healthcare treatment to the patient which have efficient outcome. With best
available evidence and patient also expect to receive effective treatment and care according to
availability of best evidence based intervention. Evidence based practice also promote attitude of
of enquiry in healthcare professionals along with their thinking. It provide healthcare
professional a confidence for delivering health care services and treatment in effective way for
better outcome. As a healthcare professional, there is need to deliver best healthcare treatment
and care to the patient for improved health. Evidence-based treatment or practices allows
healthcare professional to deliver the most effective healthcare treatment to the patient for their
health improvement (Long, (2018)). Evidence based practice allows healthcare professionals to
deliver effective healthcare treatment with confidence that this treatment will provide a better
effect to the patient and help in getting well. Evidence based practice provide stability in
delivering of healthcare services to the patient and patient also get confirm about their effective
treatment is ethical and proven by different researchers. This can provide positive outcome
towards health. In present time, there is need to use the evidence-based practices for delivering
healthcare services. In a collection of using evidence based practice can lead to create a drastic
impact on patient health and can lead to create a risk of life. Evidence based practice provides
confidence on delivering of healthcare services to the patient for their better outcome. This is
through different researchers and permitted to deliver healthcare services accordingly. This can
create effective healthcare treatment for the patient and helpful in delivering improved health.
So, while delivering healthcare services, there is need to confirm that treatment should be
evidence-based and effective for health improvement (Flückiger, (2019)).
Outlining research paper and rationale
In selected research paper, there is information that evidence-based practices can provide
momentum. In nursing, evidence-based practices are based on research finding and able to
provide the knowledge from basic science and expert opinions. These all are considered as an
evidence for delivering effective healthcare treatment to the patient. Practices based on research
finding highly provide a desired outcome for the patient in various settings along with
geographical location. Evidence-based practices are highly cost containment and able to provide
greater information related with practice. This also having effective outcome towards Patients.
Evidence based practice demand change in students education, closure working relationship
between researchers and clinician, more practice relevant research. It also provides opportunity

to the nursing care for their more effectiveness and dynamic and streamlined effect with
maximizing clinical judgement. These evidence are highly useful for defining best practices
rather than supporting existing practices. Nursing staff can use the latest technology and
advanced machinery which can help to provide the advantage of their knowledge and
development (Cornelius, (2017)).
It is research paper, it has been provided the information that evidence-based practices
are highly evaluated and need to delivered for effective outcome in healthcare. It also provide the
information about delivering of effective health care services which is significant and have a
different strong evidence about those practices. In this, article it has been identified that
evidence-based nursing helps to deliver effective healthcare treatment to patient for or significant
benefit and health improvement. This allows healthcare professional to deliver most evidence
based practices for effective outcome. This research paper provides evidence that evidence-based
services are effective in nature. Health care professional need to use those practices because
these are highly research practices and able to deliver effective outcome for the improvement in
patient health. This is evidence based and hence, it can provide best effect of improved health to
the patient and help healthcare professional to practice latest treatment for patients improved
health (Poon, (2017)).
Analyzing chosen study using the CASP framework
CASP has appraisal checklist which is designed for using with randomized, control trials,
case-control studies, systematic reviews, cohort studies, economic evaluation, qualitative studies,
Diagnostic studies and clinical prediction rule. CASP offers critical appraisal workshop skill
training and tools which can help to read and check health research for effective result and
relevance. 10 question can provide the answer which is regarding qualitative and quantitative
research.
