The impact of evidence-based practice (EBP) has echoed across nursing practice, education, and science. call for quality improvement healthcare transformation underscores the need redesigning care that is effective, safe, efficient. In line with multiple direction-setting recommendations from national experts, nurses have responded to launch initiatives maximize valuable contributions made, can make, will fully deliver on promise EBP. Such include adoption; education curricular realignment;...
A wide range of diverse and inconsistent terminology exists in the field knowledge translation. This limits conduct evidence syntheses, impedes communication collaboration, undermines translation research findings settings. Improving uniformity could help address these challenges. In 2012, we convened an international working group to explore idea developing a common overarching framework for interventions. Methods included identifying summarizing existing frameworks, mapping together subset...
To test the effects of a classroom and World Wide Web (WWW) educational intervention on self-efficacy (SE) for healthy eating (HE) to examine relationship theoretical concepts in hypothesized model behavior adolescents.A quasiexperimental pretest, posttest design was used random sample students two junior high schools.The consisted combination 5 hours Web-based instruction 10 curriculum, compared nutrition education embedded standard school curriculum during 1-month period. Participants...
Abstract Purpose : This article reports on recommendations arising from an invitational workshop series held at the National Institutes of Health for purposes identifying critical genomics problems important to health public that can be addressed through nursing science. The overall purpose Genomic Nursing State Science Initiative is establish a research blueprint based gaps in evidence and expert evaluation current state science comment. Organizing Constructs A Advisory Panel was convened...
Abstract The efficient and effective movement of research into practice is acknowledged as crucial to improving population health assuring return on investment in healthcare research. National Center for Advancing Translational Science which sponsors Clinical Awards (CTSA) recognizes that dissemination implementation (D&I) sciences have matured over the last 15 years are central its goals shift academic institutions better align with this reality. In 2016, CTSA Collaboration Engagement...
Collaboration has become a dominant mode of scientific inquiry, and good collaborative processes are important for ensuring quality productivity. Often the participants in these collaborations not collocated, yet distance introduces challenges. There remains need evaluative tools that can identify potential collaboration problems early provide strategies managing addressing issues. This paper new research diagnostic tool, Success Wizard (CSW), provides two case studies its use evaluating...
Putting evidence into practice at the point of care delivery requires an understanding implementation strategies that work, in what context and how.To identify methodological issues science using 4 studies as cases make recommendations for further methods development.Four are presented identified. For each issue raised, on state is described.Issues identified include diverse conceptual frameworks, potential weaknesses pragmatic study designs, paucity standard concepts...
The aim of this study was to determine nurses' readiness for evidence-based practice at Finnish university hospitals.Although systematic implementation is essential effectively improving patient outcomes and value care, nurses do not consistently use evidence in practice. Uptake hampered by lack individual organizational Although competencies have been widely studied countries leading the movement, less known about non-English-speaking world.A cross-sectional descriptive survey design.The...
Abstract The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) has defined translation as the process of turning observations into interventions that are adopted, sustained, and improve health. Translation must attend to research community systems context at multiple levels, key stakeholders. Dissemination implementation (D&I) sciences informed by an understanding critical role people in disseminating, adopting, sustaining innovations within real-world settings. Thus, D&I...
This article describes an innovative strategy used to teach evidence-based practice (EBP) concepts in undergraduate research course and explains the underlying framework design strategy. The for Evidence-Based Practice Project was based on new resources: nursing student competencies EBP, national health care improvement priorities, evidence rating systems, a model of knowledge transformation EBP. Groups students selected priority area, categorized critically appraised supporting...
Implementation science offers a compelling value proposition to translational science. As such, many stakeholders are seeking recruit, teach, and train an implementation workforce. The type of workforce that will make happen consists both researchers practitioners, yet little guidance exists on how such We-members the Advancing Dissemination Sciences in CTSAs Working Group-present Teaching For Framework address this gap. We describe differences between practitioners demonstrate what teach...
Dissemination and implementation (D&I) science is not a formal element of the Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program, D&I activities across CTSA Consortium are largely unknown.The Dissemination, Implementation, Knowledge Translation Working Group surveyed leaders to explore science-related activities, barriers, needed supports, then conducted univariate qualitative analyses data.Out 67 leaders, 55.2% responded. CTSAs reported directly funding programs (54.1%), training (51.4%),...
Obesity is a common nutritional disturbance of children and affects 25% to 30% adolescents. This paper examines obesity in childhood, the measurement children, relationship coronary heart disease risks discusses weight reduction issues children. Clinically useful definitions have not been established, although body mass index, together with anthropometric measurements, may provide practitioner assessment parameters. Discussions must acknowledge requirements normally occurring growth process....
Conducting research and using evidence-based practice play a major role in achieving Magnet status, the sought-after recognition awarded by American Nurses Credentialing Center to healthcare institutions that exhibit nursing excellence. The authors present synopsis of conference sponsored Sigma Theta Tau International consortium which panel nurse leaders distinguishes between discusses strategies achieve both journey status.
Sucrose is an effective calming and analgesic agent in infant humans, characteristics of this effect suggest it may occur through opioid pathway. Implications would be that infants who have experienced chronic prenatal stress concomitantly elevated levels endogenous opioids resulting tolerance should therefore less responsive to sucrose than nonstressed infants. To test this, we compared healthy term (M = 39 weeks 3 days) chronically stressed, postmature 42 weeks) with respect the...
Healthcare is a complex adaptive system, and efforts to improve through the implementation of best practice are well served by various interacting disciplines within system.
