Systematic desensitization

It would seem a foregone conclusion that effective clinical practice is based on the best possible, rigorously tested evidence because the public assumes it, patients expect it and practitioners profess to value it. Yet the emphasis on evidence as a basis of clinical practice reached the forefront of health care only in the last two decades. The past decade has seen unprecedented advances in information technology, making research and other types of evidence widely available to healthcare practitioners

young professional can make better decisions in spite of lacking sufficient years in clinical practice, while veteran can take decisions up to date despite of graduating several years ago. Evidence-based practice is a systematic approach to rational decision making that facilitates achievement of best practices and can be used as a guide to help nurses make effective, timely, and appropriate clinical decisions in response to the broad political, professional, and societal

Evidence-Based Practice in Healthcare: Case Study Research Evidence-Based Practice is the use of the best scientific evidence integrated with clinical experience and incorporating patient values and preferences, in the practice of professional health care (Houser & Oman, 2011). The EBP process is a system that allows health professionals to assess research and other information resources to then apply the results in their decision making process and everyday practice. This paper presents fundamental

Evidence based Practice allows for there to be a relationship between the care of patients and the best practices available. In order to achieve this relationship EBP combines a few key components in the clinical setting to enhance decision making to provide the best care possible. These key components are: • Patient Values: each and every patient has a different degree to which they need to be cared for and therefore the treatment and care of every patient needs to be adapted to suit their individual

Evidence Based Practice is a principle that is centered on the improvement of patient care and outcomes, by introducing and researching current based evidence when making decisions for that patient. According to Johnston (2016), “Health-care practitioners are increasingly being encouraged to implement research evidence into practice in order to ensure optimal patient outcomes and provide safe, high-quality care”. Throughout the course of this class, whether it be from researching about Evidence Based

evidence. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses summarize the research evidence, which is generally the best form of evidence, thereby making the available evidence more accessible to decision makers and are positioned

This essay will discuss my understanding and use of using evidence-based reasoning, and my understanding and use of pursuing scholarly inquiry. Firstly, what is evidence-based reasoning? Evidence-based reasoning to me, is using information that is credible, and that has used methodology such as surveys, experiments, control groups, tests etc. that support the claims they are making. Evidence-based reasoning is backed up by factual statistics and/or information. Evidence-based reasoning is also not

and basic pathophysiology. It is when asking questions about therapy that people should try to avoid the non-experimental methods, since these quite often lead to false-positive conclusions about efficacy, because the trial, and particularly the systematic review of several trials, is so much more likely to notify us and so much less likely to misinform us, it has become the gold standard for judging whether a treatment actually

Research reports rarely indicate the source of the researcher’s inspiration for a study. Where does your clinical problem-solving inspiration come from? Think about your clinical practice and a patient care problem that you recently solved. What steps did you take to get an answer? How did you get started? The source of the researcher’s inspiration is the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative: (Webster-Merriam, 2016). All Nurse clinical

workers access to databases such as the Cochrane Collaboration, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Ovid, and ERIC (Educational Resources Information Centre) which supports EBP via experimental studies, meta-analysis and systematic reviews, to determine the effectiveness of interventions (Broom, Adams, & Tovey, 2009, p.193). Mental health practice has also seen progress in the field of EBP. There are organisations like the Human Services Research Institute that promotes
