Critical Appraisal: Quantitative Nursing Research Article Evidence-based practice has informed healthcare professionals to ask clinical questions and inform clinical practice (Rebar & Gersch, 2015, p. 11). The authors conducted an evidence-based research study to determine the effectiveness of telephone-based peer support (TBPS) for postpartum depression (PPD) up to two years after delivery.
