medical wards to treat symptoms of depression. However, there are complementary and lifestyle interventions that can be introduced as an alternative. This piece will explore the effects of musical therapy for lessening symptoms of depression through evidence-based practice. A clearly stated and answerable clinical question is a critical step when developing a research study. To assist in developing the question a PICO principle is used. This principle identifies four key elements to consider, which guide

First paper The stronger the evidence the more likely an intervention is to be accepted into clinical practice. According to Houser (2012, p.471) it is recommended to determine that study satisfies general requirements of inclusion in an integrative review, meets screening criteria as a qualitative study, its level of evidence based on standards of trustworthiness and strength of recommendations based on quality of evidence. A study satisfies requirements for inclusion in review if it

According to Polit and Beck (2014), “Evidence-based practice, broadly defined, is the use of the best evidence in making patient care decisions, and such evidence typically comes from research conducted by nurses and other health care professionals” (p. 2). I am aware of evidence-based practice (ebp) and realize how important it is in nursing research. In order to have better patient health care outcomes, it is important to have research evidence that is proven to be effective. Randomized controlled

Barriers to Using Evidence-Based Medicine Melanie Ossman Granite State College Professor Philip Wyzik HLTC 600 March 4, 2011 Thesis The Institute of Medicine recommends the use of evidence-based medicine as a primary tool for achieving the aims outlined by their six themes of improvement. Specifically, EBM relates to their aim to make health care more effective: “to provide health care that is effective and efficient.” (Institute of Medicine, 2001) In recent years, evidence-based medicine has

The Cues Program: A Review of a Nursing Journal Article Rachel M NURS The Cues Program: A Review of a Nursing Journal Article Infants born weighing less than 1,500 g are called very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. These infants are usually preterm and often require hospitalization in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU.) VLBW infants are at higher risk of developmental problems so there has been an emphasis on developing programs to prevent these problems. The Cues program was designed

hospital at high risk for experiencing severe damage if the earthquake does occur. First, we will start with using research-based best practices and how the interoperable electronic health records contribute to progress in research and evidence-based practice. Evidence based practice is made up of the needs of the patients, clinical expertise, and the best evidence based research. We will use qualitative research, quantitative research, and systematic review research to find the best practices to

Evidence-based management (EBMgt or EBM) is an emerging movement to explicitly use the current, best evidence in management decision-making. Its roots are in evidence-based medicine, a quality movement to apply the scientific method to medical practice. Evidence-based management entails managerial decisions and organizational practices informed by the best available scientific evidence. Like its counterparts in medicine (e.g., Sackett, et al., 2000) and education (e.g., Thomas & Pring, 2004)

My practice setting to date has been my clinical rotations and preceptorship. While my experience in the hospital setting is limited, there is a key observation I have made regarding evidence based practice and desired patient outcomes. This observation is based on three
