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.

These are the more common modalities of CAM, as well as other CAMs that were new to me such as Jin Shin Jyutsu, lymphatic therapy, myofascial therapy and craniosacral therapy. Also included were reviews and evidence base practice regarding some of these therapies. Though the article made mention of several research and clinical trials. For example, “In randomized clinical trials, qigong has been shown to be effective in significantly reducing pain when compared

In an evidence-based practice (EBP), there are five steps to approach: ask, acquire, appraise, apply and access. In this assessment, I find that the search strategy part can very challenge which are the step 1 and 2 in EBP. I said this part is challenging is not because it is difficult to understand or I don’t know how to use the database. It is because really a time-consuming part. There are a lot of articles in the database, and I need to find out which are relevant to my question. From the assessment

Evidence-based practice in nursing means that nurses use the most recent research and apply it to their daily patient care. Such information is increasingly available, with Internet resources increasing not only in quality, but also in abundance.

Evidence-Based Practices (EBP), over the last decade, have revolutionized the ways of treatment. EBP is using the current best practices whereas clinical research is the way to uncover new information. Since these two are completely different practices, as one uses the historical data, the other tries to uncover new information for the future, the ethical principles involved need to be different. Clinical research is somewhat experimental in nature (Burns & Grove, 2010). But astonishingly, the ethical
