What factors help or hinder the implementation of the evidence

Application of the Evidence to Practice

(750 words approx.; L04 & L05)

Consider the evidence and its influence on decision making. Reflect on the value of the selected study for practice, and critically discuss

▪ Is the study of use in practice? ▪ If not, why?

Include the following aspects:

▪ The “fit” with other evidence, e.g., findings from systematic reviews, clinical policy, procedure, and Department of Health (DH)/ National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines.

You may also consider how /how well the evidence (and other guidelines/policy evidence) “fit” with your experience in clinical practice.

▪ How could the evidence be implemented in practice?
▪ What factors help or hinder the implementation of the evidence
▪ Would the subject/evidence from your review inform/change practice?

Deliberate on the literature addressing organisational, professional, and managerial issues influencing the use of research evidence in practice.

 

Other areas to consider
▪ Are there any gaps in the evidence supporting this intervention?
▪ What further research could be added to the body of evidence reviewed?.

    • −  Patient preferences?
    • −  Healthcare Ethics?
