Evidence Base Practice Introduction Evidence Base Practice Introduction Many questions have been raised concerning the use of evidence based practices in hospitals. This lead to a research which was carried out to show that a large number of patients who are hospitalized acquire infections while they are being treated other ailments. the justification that was given to this is due to the nurses having burnouts making it possible for them not to able to curb hospitalized acquired infections. It is for this reason that medical practitioners have decided to embark on using Evidence Based Practice (Beyea & Slattery, 2006). It is important to not the reason why the evidence based practice is applicable in hospitals in order to improve the quality of enhancing and care for the satisfaction of nurses in the reduction of burnout. Research Question Did the educational preparation program for expatriates nursing staff enhance satisfaction and reduce burnout? Search Process There is a time when the University of Pennsylvania embarked on a research titled Maslach Burnout Inventory where the nurses were analyzed in relation to job related issues such as attitude. A comparison was done on the percentages found on burnout nurses in relation to catheter associated urinary tract infections and surgical site infections. Selection criteria They results showed that there was an increase in the number of burnout nurses in every additional CAUTI while there was an addition of nurse in every two SSIs in relation to 1000 patients. Looking at the numbers from one angle it would be said that it is not a big deal (Beyea & Slattery, 2006). However, reports indicate that the cost of dealing with these cases include $749 to $832 for each case involving CAUTIs. At the same time, it would cost $11,087 to $29,443 for each case involving SSIs. This number can be reduced. In case the number is reduced by 30 percent, it is discovered that there will be prevention of 4,160 cases of infections making it possible for the institution to save $41 million. Search outcome Evidence based practice otherwise known as EBP is a practice, which is recommended by the medical practitioners in improving the working conditions of the nurses. The main determining factor that makes the practice to be applicable is through integration of various aspects. The first issue involves the opinions indicated by the clinical expertise. This also involves evidence from external scientists (Kim & Mallory, 2014). These aspects are also applicable to caregivers, patients and clients who are on the verger of ensuring that the quality of services being delivered is of high quality. These services are expected to reflect the interest of the entire stakeholders involved in the medical practice. These can be in the form of needs, values, choices and interests, which drive them to giving proper care. It has been noticed that the nurses have a tendency of being tired after taking a heavier load of patients than normal, which makes them want to rest. This makes them cut corners or give shady works in order to complete their work. At the same time, they tend to forget the manner in which the nursing care can be carried out properly. The nursing care may involve emptying of the drainage bags, changing the dressing and paying attention to petty issues such handling the containment articles and washing of the hands (Malloch & Porter, 2006). These are the issues, which are related to the major hospital acquired infections. Nurse burnout is referred to emotional disillusionment and exhaustion that the nurses undergo in their current jobs, which makes them deal with heavy loads of patients, and in a stressful environment. These issues interfere with the lives of the nurses both professionally and personally which sometimes is reflected in the patients. Impact on the Environment The relationship between the patient and the nurses is vividly reflected on the outcome of the treatment. This relationship might be connected to the ratios of the patients attached to the nurses. The clear picture translated from the work ethics of nurses can be initialized in the standard of care delivered by them (Levin & Feldman, 2012). It is seen that there are a few cases whereby nurses are seen to drop in their standards of operations. It is important to note that one should not deal with the number nurses in the institution but rather the quality of work they are providing. There are instances when the nurses might detach themselves from work due to stress related issues. These issues might include conflicting values on the management and the nurses, lack of teamwork and prioritizing financial issues instead of the safety of the patients (Kim & Mallory, 2014). Hospitals and institutions have decided to embark on strategies of handling the unseen events related to infectious diseases. It is important to reduce the burnout by nurses while at the same time improvin
