Evidence-Based Practice Instruction
The five-step model for evidence-based practice (EBP) includes:
- Translation of uncertainty to an answerable questions
- Systematic retrieval of best evidence available
- Critical appraisal of evidence for validity, clinical relevance, and applicability
- Application of results in practice
- Evaluation of performance
The librarians can provide instruction and guidance for the skills necessary for Steps 1 and 2 and we can assist with Steps 3 and 5. We work with established EBP programs at MD Anderson:
- EBRUN (http://inside.mdanderson.org/departments/nursing/research-evidence-based-practice.html)
- Rising Stars (http://inside.mdanderson.org/departments/nursing/workforce-development/rising-stars.html)
- Learning to Practice and Teach Evidence-based Health Care: An Intensive Workshop
For more information about evidence-based curricula and skills, read the 2005 Sicily statement on evidence-based practice: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC544887/
