Based on how you will evaluate your EBP project, which independent and dependent variables do you need to collect? Why? my EBP project is hourly rounding.
Evidence based Practice(EBP) focused to increase the quality of
care and patient safety..There are six distinct activities
including foemulating questions,searching for
information,implementing evidence and evaluating the resullting
practices and compiling the appraised information..To increases
(RNs) practice of EBP.variables sholud be explored..this study
focus on examine individual and organizational factors associated
with EBP activities among 2years post graduation RN2..Data from
swedish longitudinal analysis study consist of 1256 RNs..987 RNs
worked in health care at the time of the data collection..EBP
activites measured using six single items measuring individual and
work-related variables..Capability beliefs in six activities
working in the case of older people associated with four
activities,supportive leadership and high collective efficacy with
three activities..Health professionals are expected to iplement
evidence into their daily clinical practice..
RNs practice of EBP can be assumed to have a major
impact on patient's outcomes and patient safety..Nurse with master
degree having higher extent to EBP compared with lower
qualification RNs ..EBP practice implementing
confidence,organizational culture,job satisfaction in a community
hospitals system in US..Junior clinical nurse having more barrier
than senior one..and also education level,experience and
beliefs,supportive leadership.organizational climate and access to
resource demonstrated practice of EBP..
Dependent Variables:
Six single items as we mentioned before
developed based on EBP process.including critical clinical
questions,knowledge in data base and other information sources like
discussing with colleagues,critically appraising and compiling best
knowledge finally implementing EBP practice..
EBP activites using a four-point response format(1=to
a very low extend,2=to a low extent, 3= to a high extent, 4= to a
very high extent)using this items in group of RNs with expertise in
EBP it is rating between 0.8 to 1.0 indicate good content
validity..in addition,professional instrument developers from
technical and language,laboratory at statistics analysis shows low
extent and high extent with this six items..
Independent variables:
National health service (NHS) framework
developed to examine patient outcomes with independent
variables..this framework already used in longitudinal analysis of
nursing Education (LANE) to identify individual,work contextual and
educational determianats of research utilization in RNs..This
framework having elements like work context,management of people
and performance,individual perceptions of work,behaviour and
experience and patient outcomes..this hypothesis to influence
individuals perceptions of their work context..this result in
psychological consequences at work forthe employee as a final
outcomes impact on staff performance..this study consists of
individual and organizational variables and final outcomes are in
six EBP activities..
Six items measuring the process of evidence-based
practices by Efficacy in the LANE survey,Role clarity assessing
psychological,social and measures social support from superiors
empowering leadership and fair leadership.Job demands on individual
perceptions and subjective evaluations of work demands and control
at work is perceptions of the situations at work..Olden burg
burnout inventory includes feeling drained of energy and
disengagements in one's work and experiencing negative attitudes
towards the work in general..
Conclusions:
Strategies to newly graduated RNs to practice
skill in EBP..this strategies should focus on individual and
organization factors associated with RNs practice of EBP..This EBP
factors associated with six EMP activities..still more stratefies
to be focused include capacity and competence of managers to
facilitate and support RNs in practicing EBP activites..It can
interpret the quality of care at a national level..EBP in health
care organization sholud not focus on responsibility for higher
level staff..
