5. Describe strategies for overcoming barriers to EBP.See table 1-2, page 10 & 11 in the book (a lot of information but some highlights
below:
Lack of time (barrier): strategies include taking 15 minutes per day to read up on
research, sign up for emails to find out about recent research
Lack of value placed on research in practice: strategies include making a list of
reasons why healthcare providers should value research and discuss with
colleagues, invite nurse researchers to share their passion, link measurement of
quality indicators to EBP
Lack of knowledge about EBP and research: take a course or attend a continuing
education offering on EBP, consult with advance practice nurses, volunteer to serve
on committees that set policies and protocols
Lack of technological skills to find evidence: consult with a librarian about how to
access databases and retrieve articles, learn to bookmark important websites that are
the sources of clinical guidelines, commit to acquiring computer skills
Lack of resources to access evidence: write a proposal for funds to support access to
online databases and journals, collaborate with a nursing program for access to
resources, investigate funding possibilities from others (i.e., pharmaceutical
companies, grants)
Lack of ability to read research: organize a journal club where nurses read together,
write down questions about an article and ask an advances practice nurse to assist
you in answering the questions, participate in on going unit based studies
Resistance to change: listen to people’s concerns about change, select EBP project
that interests that staff and has high priority, create a means to reward individuals
who provide leadership during change.
Lack of organizational support for EBP: strategies include link organizational
priorities with EBP to reduce cost and increase efficiency, recruit administrators
who value EBP, use EBP to meet accreditation standards or gain recognition (i.e.
Magnet status)
6. Recognize research in the categories of descriptive, explanatory, predictive.
- Descriptive: a category of research that is concerned with providing accurate
descriptions of phenomena
- Explanatory: research concerned with identifying relationships among
phenomena
- Predictive: research that forecasts precise relationships between dimensions
of phenomena or differences between groups…Dr. Pollard identified this as
a higher level of research because it can shape practice
