EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE IN NURSING
INTRODUCTION Research studies are conducting all over the world, throughout the year .Research is conducted to improve the existing practices. If the study findings are implemented to practice only , the study is effective. Evidences getting from the study which are utilized into practice makes the profession more fruitful, bright and effective. Most nurse researchers want their findings to contribute to nursing practice and there is growing interest among nurses in basing their practice on solid research evidence
RESEARCH UTILIZATION IN NURSING The terms research utilization and evidence based practice are used synonymously. Although there is overlap between these two concepts they are in fact distinct.
Research Utilization is:
"A process of using findings from conducting research to guide practice" (Titler, Mentes, Rake, Abbott, and Baumler, 1999).
"The process by which scientifically produced knowledge is transferred to practice" (Brown, 1999)
DIFFERENCES:
Nurses should not confuse EBP [Evidence Based Practice] with research utilization. While research utilization overlaps with some of the same philosophic threadworks of EBP, EBP goes beyond just the rigorous scientific research steps. Research Utilization refers to the review and critique of scientific research, and then the application of the findings to clinical practice. Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) represents a broader concept. When clinicians use the EBP approach, they go beyond the expertise of clinicians and researchers, and consider the patient 's preferences and values to guide patient care.
THE RESEARCH UTILIZATION CONTINUM The start point of research utilization is the emergence of new knowledge and new ideas. Research is conducted and over time knowledge on new topic accumulates. In turn knowledge works its
