Evidence‐based practice‐focused interactive teaching strategy: a controlled study

Abstract

The EBP-focused interactive teaching strategy was effective in improving the knowledge and use of EBP among nursing students but not attitudes toward or future use of EBP.

The challenges facing healthcare lecturers and professors to lead and promote a research-based culture for practice

“…This study supports others in emphasising the importance of lecturers in creating and leading a research-based culture and positive attitude to research (Ilott and Bury 2002;Kajermo et al, 2008;Koehn and Lehman, 2008;Kim et al, 2009). Although the numbers of lecturers submitted to the recent national Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) are small, progress in their research capacity over previous years has been good (Corbyn, 2009).…”

“…In 2007, in the United Kingdom (UK), the UK Clinical Research Collaborative (UKCRC) reported a 'sharp divide' in nursing, between educators and researchers on the one hand, and clinical practitioners on the other, as witnessed in both the USA and Australia (Dunn and Yates, 2000). As Kim et al (2009) acknowledge, the role of nurse educators is pivotal in preparing graduating students with the skills, knowledge and a positive attitude to research. They argue that teachers should adopt innovative learning and teaching strategies and arguably, should demonstrate credibility in the research field in order to influence and motivate their students.…”

“…There seem to be a paucity of formal studies addressing specifically the teaching of research (Overfield and Duffy, 1984;Kim et al, 2009), with an increasing number of papers recognising the need for research capacity building among nursing and AHP lecturers (Cooke and Green, 2000;Rafferty et al, 2003;Green et al, 2007) . With the advent of clinical academic careers for nurses, midwives and AHPs, lecturers and professors are key to ensuring students are nurtured into a research-based culture early in their careers and helped to sustain this throughout their careers through their continuing professional development.…”

Comparison of four teaching methods on Evidence-based Practice skills of postgraduate nursing students

“…Many health care institutions have conducted educational programs to provide nurses and other health care professionals with EBP knowledge and skills (Cullen and Titler, 2004;Hart et al, 2008;Kim et al, 2009). In the past decade, tertiary education institutions and universities have introduced undergraduate and postgraduate courses (Kaplan Jacobs et al, 2003;Damen et al, 2011;Badger et al, 2012) to equip students with the appropriate knowledge and skills to successfully implement EBP principles.…”

Implantación y evaluación de una estrategia interactiva de Práctica Basada en la Evidencia en alumnos de Enfermería

“…Esta estrategia docente interactiva fue diseñada en base a la literatura reciente sobre el aprendizaje de esta competencia para alumnos tanto de medicina como enfermería [139][140][141][142][143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150][151] . Así, se compone de forma específica de dos horas teóricas de Práctica Basada en la Evidencia en la que se sumerge al alumno en:…”
