This paper provides an overview of the state of evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing and selected allied health professions and a synopsis of current trends in incorporating EBP into clinical education and practice in these fields. This overview is intended to better equip librarians with a general understanding of the fields and relevant information resources. INCLUDED PROFESSIONS: Professions are athletic training, audiology, health education and promotion, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, physician assisting, respiratory care, and speech-language pathology.
Each section provides a description of a profession, highlighting changes that increase the importance of clinicians' access to and use of the profession's knowledgebase, and a review of each profession's efforts to support EBP. The paper concludes with a discussion of the librarian's role in providing EBP support to the profession.
EBP is in varying stages of growth among these fields. The evolution of EBP is evidenced by developments in preservice training, growth of the literature and resources, and increased research funding. Obstacles to EBP include competing job tasks, the need for additional training, and prevalent attitudes and behaviors toward research among practitioners. Librarians' skills in searching, organizing, and evaluating information can contribute to furthering the development of EBP in a given profession.
本文概述了护理及部分相关健康专业领域循证实践(EBP)的现状,以及当前将循证实践纳入这些领域临床教育与实践的趋势概要。此概述旨在让图书馆员更好地全面了解这些领域及相关信息资源。
包括运动训练、听力学、健康教育与促进、护理、职业治疗、物理治疗、医师助理、呼吸治疗和言语语言病理学。
每个部分描述一个专业,强调增加临床医生获取和使用该专业知识库重要性的变化,并回顾每个专业为支持循证实践所做的努力。本文最后讨论了图书馆员在为专业提供循证实践支持方面的作用。
循证实践在这些领域处于不同的发展阶段。循证实践的发展体现在职前培训的进展、文献和资源的增长以及研究资金的增加。循证实践的障碍包括相互竞争的工作任务、对额外培训的需求以及从业者对研究普遍的态度和行为。图书馆员在搜索、组织和评估信息方面的技能有助于推动特定专业领域循证实践的发展。
