Book description
The Evidence-Based Nursing Series is co-published with Sigma Theta
Tau International (STTI). The series focuses on implementing
evidence-based practice in nursing and mirrors the remit of
Worldviews on Evidence-Based Nursing, encompassing clinical
practice, administration, research and public policy.
Models and Frameworks for Implementing Evidence- Based Practice:
Linking Evidence to Action
, looks at ways of implementing evidence gained through research and
factors that influence successful implementation. It acknowledges the
gap that exists between obtaining evidence and the practicalities of
putting it into practice and provides direction to help to close this
gap. This, the first book in the series, helps the reader to make
decisions about the appropriateness of using various models and
frameworks. A selection of models and frameworks are examined in detail
including examples of their use in practice. The book concludes with an
analysis and synthesis of the included models and frameworks.
The Models and frameworks that have been included are based on a number
of criteria: that they are internationally recognised, have undergone
widespread evaluation and testing, are transferable across different
settings, and can be used by different disciplines. Models and
frameworks include:
- Stetler Model
- Ottowa Model of Research Use
- IOWA model of evidence-based practice
- Advancing Research and Clinical Practice through Close
Collaboration (ARCC) model
- Dobbins' dissemination and use of research evidence for policy and
practice framework
- Joanna Briggs Institute model
- Knowledge to Action framework
- Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (PARIHS)
Key Points:
- There are chapters that provide an overview of implementation
issues and the use of theory and frameworks in implementing
evidence into practice
- Chapters are written by the developers of the model or framework
- Each chapter provides background on an implementation model or
framework, suitable applications, underlying theory and examples
of use.
- Each chapter examines strengths and weaknesses of each model
alongside barriers and facilitators for its
implementation
