NURS 6052 DEVELOPING A CULTURE OF EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE

Thank you for your post. I appreciate the strategy of using staff meetings as dissemination environments. Currently the organization I work for uses huddle before shifts to introduce ideas, policy changes, and procedure updates. We are normally given the topic for which the information is based, along with a binder of information that we are to look through on our own time. The binder includes a sheet to sign that acknowledges the staff members understanding of the information. I feel this is not the most effective strategy but is the most convenient for all staff members. Our organization normally does include a module online to complete in addition to this informal education. You mentioned using power point presentations as useful for visual and auditory learners, and the module is where we would find that helpful tool.

As a kinesthetic learner, I am interested in the show one, do one, teach one method. I encountered a preceptor who utilized this method of knowledge dissemination and it was highly successful with all new nurses. I also agree with your stated barriers. I believe that they may be combated with foresight in audience. Packaging information in a way that is tailored to the audience is an effective way to combat a lack of staff interest, and hopefully lack of understanding (Derman & Jaeger, 2018). To effectively disseminate knowledge, we must identify the audience and mold the message and presentation of the message to the chosen audience (Evelina, et. al, 2020).

Sample Answer 5 for NURS 6052 DEVELOPING A CULTURE OF EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE

Thank you for the informative post. As you speak about sharing information with coworker’s post report or in conjunction with staff meetings, Grand Rounds and Clinical Rounds were conducted daily in the last teaching hospital this writer worked in.  This was the first time this writer had participated in such as my last hospital did conduct rounds but with a scribe only. This writer finds that this type of evidence presentation provides education for nursing staff, patients’ and patients family. In addition, providers conducting the rounds on the units offered patients time to ask questions and provide key feedback on diagnostic processes.  A drawback is time away from work related tasks to navigate with the clinical team as well as keeping up with the entire teams demands for the nurses to accept and complete ongoing measures and tasks related to patient outcomes. At WVUH, different providers also podcast Grand Rounds on current topics affecting public health and safety. Most recently the podcasts have been related to COVID-19 pandemic which I have found useful for both personal and professional guidance and updates.
