Models and Frameworks for Implementing Evidence-Based Practice / Evidence Based Nursing (PDF)

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:

* Includes 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
