EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE 2
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) can be defined as the process of integrating people
clinical proficiency with the best accessible clinical evidence from systematic research. EBP
collects the best accessible investigation, input, and proficient expertise from families and youth
in the identification and deliverance of services that are considered in achieving positive results
for families, youth, and communities (Family & Youth Service Bureau, 2012).
I work as an Operating Room Circulator, and I realized that EBP is an essential aspect of
my practice setting since it provides a method to use scientifically proven and critically appraised
evidence for the deliverance of quality health care to the community or society. For example, the
best evidence applied in my setting practice includes evidence from different scientific
approaches such as qualitative and qualitative study, experiential evidence from the controlled
trials, specialist views, scientific principles, formulation and effective answering of the nursing
questions, and information from different case reports. All of these are adopted to transform and
improve the need for redesigning health care settings, and the purpose of adopting the practices
is for efficient, safe, and effective delivery of the health care services (Stevens, 2013).
Better results for the patients can be realized from the adoption of novel knowledge that
must be transformed into the health care or clinically practical forms, efficiently put into practice
across the entire care team in the health care within the system context. This is only achieved by
the adoption of EBP that focuses on utilizing novel ideas in the clinical decision-making, thus
helping in the production of the research evidence on intervention that can help in promoting
uptake (Stevens, 2013).

Besides, EBP is an essential aspect that provides a systematic method for conducting a
clinical inquiry. Nurses use a PICO technique in the formulation of the clinical question, and
PICO technique is stand for:
P-Population of interest
I-Intervention in the question
C-Comparative intervention
O-Outcome from the intervention
When the nurses need a response based on the best evidence, they will adopt an EBP approach.
In case the nurse asks a question regarding clinical practice, they are trying to demonstrate a
clinical inquiry, and the questions are based on the PICO technique. The next step after
formulation of a clinical inquiry question is the evaluation of the literature in the EBP process.
Evaluation of the literature helps in effective collection of evidence and critically appraises the
collected evidence. After evaluation of literature, the strength of evidence is rated from the
highest (level 1) to the lowest (level V). Lastly, a nurse is required to understand the related
findings to the clinical practice based on the collected evidence (Fowler, 2010).
In conclusion, Evidence-Based Practice investigation takes thought, critique, and time to
achieve at the desired PICO question. However, the challenge takes place during the practice
setting where a nurse is required to convince collogues that change is required to achieve the best
practice.
