Course objectives
The course aims to acquaint students with the principles of Evidence-Based Nursing (EBN), and with the application of the five basic steps of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP). Five steps of EBP: development of answerable clinical question, searching for best available evidence, critical appraisal of evidence, implementation of best available evidence to nursing practice, dissemination of results. Students will learn examples of common real nursing practice concerning the possibility of applying the principles of EBN and improving the quality of care. Students will gain insight into the issue of critical appraisal of the quality of scientific outputs. Students will be introduced to the interpretation of scientific and research outputs in the context of nursing practice.
Learning outcomes
Students will be able after the subject graduation: - develop an answerable, focused clinical question - transform the clinical question into a focused search strategy - find the best available scientific evidence in major databases and platforms - analyse the relevance of the scientific evidence towards the clinical question - critically appraise the risk of bias of relevant evidence - interpret high-quality evidence in the context of the clinical question and nursing practice
