  • Title: Integrating Evidence-Based Practice into a Lebanese Nursing Baccalaureate Program: Challenges and Successes.
    Author: Sukkarieh-Haraty O, Hoffart N.
    Journal: Int J Nurs Educ Scholarsh; 2017 Oct 03; 14(1):. PubMed ID: 28976908.
    Abstract:
    Evidence-based practice (EBP) is defined as "the conscientious use of current best evidence in making clinical decisions about patient care." This paper describes how we have developed the evidence-based practice concept and integrated it into two courses at two different levels of the BSN curriculum. Students apply EBP knowledge and process by using the PICO clinical question (Population, Intervention, Comparison and Outcome), whereby they observe a selected clinical skill, and then compare their observations to hospital protocol and against the latest evidence-based practice guidelines. The assignment for the second course requires students to pick a more complex clinical skill and to support proposed changes in practice with scholarly literature. Assessment of student learning and course evaluation has shown that the overall experience of integrating EBP projects into the curriculum is fruitful for students, clinical agencies, and faculty.
