As home health nurses begin to more fully embrace evidence-based practice, we need to be reading research articles in addition to those being published in Home Healthcare Nurse. Many of us have been out of school for several years or have never studied nursing research, and the terminology can be daunting. Evidence-based practice strengthens our ability to provide nursing care based upon the best scientific and researched information. The evidence gleaned from research demonstrates best practice methods rather than those we have traditionally used with little or no scientific basis. The purpose of this article is to provide new knowledge or dust the cobwebs from our past studies of nursing research. A review of the types of research, as well as its language, can help home health nurses be consumers of research with greater understanding. Use of the Internet and ways to access nursing research will be discussed. This article is a brief overview only and more in-depth principles can be accessed by one of the many nursing research resources.
随着家庭健康护士开始更全面地接受循证实践，除了阅读《家庭医疗护理》上发表的文章外，我们还需要阅读研究论文。我们中的许多人已经离开学校好几年了，或者从未学习过护理研究，其术语可能令人望而生畏。循证实践增强了我们基于最佳科学和研究信息提供护理的能力。从研究中收集的证据表明了最佳实践方法，而非我们传统上使用的几乎没有或完全没有科学依据的方法。本文旨在提供新知识，或拂去我们过去护理研究学习中的尘埃。回顾研究类型及其语言，有助于家庭健康护士更深入地理解研究并成为研究的使用者。本文还将讨论互联网的使用以及获取护理研究的方法。本文只是一个简要概述，更深入的原则可通过众多护理研究资源之一获取。
