What?
The first session of the module, Delivering Quality Care through Evidence-Based Practice, introduced the foundational principles of evidence-based practice (EBP). It highlighted the significance of combining research findings, clinical practice and patient preferences to enhance the quality of care. Furthermore, the session detailed various resources, including library tools, search methodologies and academic database, emphasising their importance in identifying credible evidence for clinical practice. additionally, it clarified key assignments and expectations, such as development of a presentation aimed at showcasing leadership and evidence-based strategies.
So what?
This session clarified how evidence-based practice role in ensuring high-quality, patien-centred care. It highlighted the necessity of critically appraising research and utilising credible academic resources to guide clinical decision-making. As a Nursing Associate, I recognised that the successful implementation of EBP requires not just the understanding theoretical concepts but also the development of practical competencies such as database searching, evidence evaluation, and the communication of findings. The emphasis on the incorporation of evidence into clinical judgements reaffirmed the significant of my position in providing safe and effective care.
Now what?
To implement this learning, I will enhance my abilities in identifying and assessing evidence through the utilisation of suggested library resources and databases, including CINAHL and the Cochrane Library. My emphasis will be on cultivating confidence in delivering research findings by engaging in oral presentation practice and improving visual aids, such as posters and slides. in the future, I intend to consistently integrate EBP principles into my professional activities by remaining informed about contemporary research and applying it to inform clinical decision-making, thereby promoting improved patient outcomes. regular-self reflection on my development will enable me to detect areas needing enhancement and ensure alignment wit the objective of the module
