ObjectivesObjectives
To overview two educational programs for staff that address promoting use of EBPs
• Staff nurse internship for EBP
• Advanced Practice Institute for EBP
• Others we have Nurse Managers Senior Leaders
The EvidenceThe Evidence
Nurses at the point of care delivery are in the ideal position to ask & answer clinical questions
Need strategies that link clinicians with evidence
Several steps in the EBP process are challenging
Application oriented approach with active facilitation is necessary to learn the process
“I know the knowledge-based for the cutting edge information of EBP”
“The opportunity for professional growth has been provided”
“Recognition that the STN observes situations/topics which need to be changed and receiving support to do this”
“I think integrating this into nursing will be a huge plus, not only for UIHC but nursing.”
“It has given me a huge self-esteem boost and I hope this internship continues for more and more nurses.”

Keys to SuccessKeys to Success
Topic selection by STN’s
Competitive review of applications
Paid release time from clinical responsibility
Summer and holiday schedule
Regularly scheduled work sessions
Matching clinical, systems and EBP expertise
Beginning work sessions with a project update, troubleshooting & team building
Project IntegrationProject Integration
Sustaining the projects is a priority (STN feedback; NM focus group feedback, February 2002)
Process involves:
• Reporting results to the Nursing Research Committee
• Development of QI goal and monitoring
• Development of education (orientation, competency review, temporary staff, etc.)
• Revisions in documentation to support practices
• Reporting results to Nursing QM Committee

Additional CommentsAdditional Comments
“This was the best workshop I’ve ever attended.” “I was in awe of the level of expertise and education
of the faculty. It was very impressive to see what you have accomplished.” -2003
“Immersion into the ‘world’ of EBP, the tremendous overview and detail gave me what I need to support my organization as it evolves in this excellent method of care delivery.” -2003
“This was an awesome experience-really feel I can proceed with my project now and succeed.” -2005
Additional CommentsAdditional Comments
“The energy in the room was great both with the participants and instructors-as well as the staff nurses who presented. It was great to have people enthusiastic about improving patient care. I found this so refreshing because nurses historically put down other nurses and frequently stagnate other nurses. This was the complete opposite-nurse helping nurses-what a novel idea. All nurses should take this course-period! Administrative and clinical.” -2004
“This was the best group I have been involved with in a long time. The expertise and sharing was fabulous.” -2006

ImplicationsImplications
Facilitation is essential
Educators: Develop academic and continuing education to promote skill development• Evidence: locating, critique, analysis & synthesis• Data interpretations: statistical process control charts• Evidence promoting sustainability of EBP changes
Leadership: Develop capacity, support, expectations and commitment to the journey
SummarySummary
EBP work can be challenging
Unique educational strategies are needed
Distinct programs address audience learning objectives (e.g., basic and advanced)
Programs can be successful using a learn by doing approach with sufficient facilitation
Evaluations are positive and healthcare outcomes improve
