NUR 4775 ~ Applications in Evidence-Based Practice for BSNs

Ch. 3 & 4: Research Evidence & Ethical Issues Discussion

Two models that have been used to implement evidence-based guidelines in clinical settings include Stetler Model & the Iowa Model. The Stetler Model provides a framework to facilitate the use of research evidence in practice for individual nurses/healthcare institutions. The Iowa Model provides direction for the development of an EBP in a clinical agency with a built-in focus toward informing quality improvement. (Nieswiadomy & Baily,2018, pg.33).

We will be exploring these two models ~ but don't be afraid to explore modifying these models or to develop your own!

Chapter 4:

Medical curiosity led to "research" early on, but at that time, ethics were not a serious consideration. Based on some rather disturbing history of research practices, ethics has become an integral part of of our current research practices.
