Evidence Based Nursing
Evidence-based nursing combines the best available research, clinical expertise and patient preferences to guide care decisions. It helps nurses move away from habit and tradition towards practice that is proven to improve outcomes.
The Evidence Based Nursing session at Nursing Science 2027 explores how evidence is created, appraised and put into everyday care. It connects closely with nursing education and research, where the next generation of nurses learns to question and improve practice.
Key Topics in Evidence Based Nursing
- Principles and models of evidence-based practice
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses in nursing
- Critical appraisal of nursing research
- Clinical practice guidelines and care bundles
- Implementation science and knowledge translation
- Barriers to evidence-based practice
- Patient preferences and shared decision-making
- Nursing outcomes research
- Journal clubs and research culture in clinical teams
- Measuring the impact of practice change
Recent Advances in Evidence Based Nursing
The biggest challenge in evidence-based nursing is no longer finding evidence but using it. Implementation science is helping teams understand why proven practices fail to spread and how to close the gap between research and the bedside in nursing practice and patient care.
Digital tools are also changing how evidence reaches nurses. Clinical decision support built into EHRs and nursing informatics systems can prompt guideline-based care at the point of need. At the same time, evidence is driving new roles and skills described in advances in nursing practice.
Who Should Attend the Evidence Based Nursing Session
- Nurse researchers and academic nurses
- Clinical nurse specialists and advanced practice nurses
- Practice development and quality improvement leads
- Nurse educators and librarians
- PhD and master's students in nursing
- Guideline developers and policy advisors
