A strong relationship exists between theory, research, and evidence-based practice; and these three entities are necessary to guide practice and contribute to the body of nursing knowledge. Doctor of nursing practice graduates can serve as leaders as they enter into their respective clinical practice areas. Through education of peers, along with translation and evaluation of current theoretical literature and empirical data, these advanced practice nurses can positively influence nursing practice and patient care.

Ebp Implementation

Evidence-based practice, (EBP), is associated with improved patient outcomes, yet evidence is lacking demonstrating that the majority of advanced practice nurses practice or teach from this framework. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the level of integration of EBP in Doctor of Nursing Practice curricula and explore the relationship between demographics, faculty beliefs and reported implementation of EBP. The Organizational Culture & Readiness for School-wide Integration of Evidence-based Practice Survey instrument, along with customized demographic questions, was utilized in a web based format. A discrepancy still exists between reported integration of EBP in nursing curricula and EBP in nursing practice. The most frequently named barrier to EBP was the continued teaching of how to conduct rigorous research versus evidence-based care in advanced clinical education tracts. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) faculty age appeared to be an important factor in the barriers to EBP implementation and merits further investigation.

Practice Projects

The international emphasis on evidence-based practice (EBP) as a basis for quality care has elevated the importance of EBP dissemination. The doctor of nursing practice (DNP) degree has created opportunities for nurses to implement EBP projects in collaboration with academic and clinical teams. Findings from such innovative efforts ought to be widely distributed, yet such projects have unique dissemination needs that are not readily met by traditional research-based presentation venues. Current literature focuses on presentation approaches for research-based poster content and evaluation rather than EBP posters. To facilitate timely and quality dissemination of EBP projects, there is a need for clear criteria identifying the essential information to be shared, how to share it effectively, and how to evaluate the end product. Thus far, the challenge to better accommodate EBP poster presentations has been unmet. The purposes of this article are to provide suggestions for EBP poster creation and to describe the process of developing a Poster Evaluation Rubric for Evidence-Based Practice (PER-EBP). The PER-EBP tool, developed by the authors, provides a guide for EBP poster creation and criteria for EBP poster evaluation by self and others. Examples of an EBP literature review and a DNP student poster are provided.

Lifelong learning contributes to the development of knowledge and skill in nursing. A focus on continuous learning is necessary to remain current on trends, practices, and the newest treatments in the field of nursing. Creation of a culture where educational growth is supported and promoted is vital to advancement of the nursing profession. Nurses’ satisfaction with their professional role can be further enhanced by demonstrated expertise through lifelong learning. Expertise in nursing is solidly founded on evidence-based practice. Research, education, and experience in nursing practice are linked to evidence-based practice and lifelong learning; both are essential to remaining well versed in health care service delivery.
