Do professional nursing organizations value
and offer educational activities about evidence-based practice (EBP)?
Do professional nursing organizations collaborate with librarians to teach EBP? If not, why not?
To learn if: ◦ Professional nursing associations value EBP
education ◦ Nursing educators are aware of and value librarians ◦ Nursing educators who are teaching EBP are
teaching literature searching, and if not, who is
Mission, Vision, Purpose, Values & Goals CE, training or instruction offered Content of courses Credentials and education of educators Librarian involvement
This exploratory study employs a descriptive methodology.
◦ Website and conference repository scan and review
(Phase 1 - completed) ◦ Survey librarians to teach continuing education
courses in general, to teach EBP more specifically outside of their institutions (Phase 2 – in process) ◦ Survey/interview select nurse educators identified
in Phase 1 (Phase 3 – 2017)
EBP is “the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of the individual patient. It means integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research.” (Sackett D, 1996, p.71)
