Locating Credible Databases and Research
Evidence-based practice in nursing integrates the finest scientific proof, clinical expertise, and client demands that lead to a higher patient outcome. It is preferable to choose peer-reviewed journals and academic articles that have been published within the last five years if you want to be certain of their legitimacy and address recent issues. The situation examined in this evaluation is that of a recently trained nurse allocated to a client who is experiencing weight gain due to persistent heart problems. It is the nurse’s initial task as a practitioner. She has not yet had the opportunity to apply an evidence-based approach without the assistance of another clinician. The purpose of this paper is to discover communication methods that baccalaureate-prepared nurses might utilize to boost the mindset of freshly trained nurses for them to investigate the diagnosis of their patients successfully. As a senior nurse, I will assist students in finding trustworthy sources throughout their design process, making suggestions on how to assess credible sources, and determining the factors to be examined when choosing the best sources.
Communication Strategies to Encourage Diagnosis-Based Research
Nursing is a profession that requires hands-on training. Nursing education equips one with understanding disease processes and treatment choices, but it does not teach them how to communicate effectively. New nurses must be confident and receptive to learning with their selected supervisors for them to succeed. Regarding clinical education, relationships with peers and employee relationships are critical because they help novice nurses improve their self-esteem, self-confidence, and drive through fostering positive relationships with their peers (Kamphinda & Chilemba, 2019). A guiding nurse should engage with trainee nurses to provide an experience rather than leave them to learn and discover things independently. A lack of response may result in a reduced degree of self-worth, which can negatively affect the subsequent practices that the novice nurse would give (Kamphinda & Chilemba, 2019).
The Best Places to Gather Research
The institution, a university library, and the healthcare policies database are ideal places for nurses to acquire information and resources. When evaluating the credibility of a study, the following concerns must be responded to: Where was the study published, uploaded, or presented, and who was involved in the study? What are the qualifications of the author? Is it based on high-quality sources and research? What are the opinions of other academics on this source? How large is the target group for this resource? (Takeda et al., 2019). This data was gathered via the Institution search engine, which is offered free of charge by the university.
Identification of Five Sources for Evidence of Clinical Diagnosis
Summon may be accessed via the search engine available at the University Library. ProQuest and Ovid websites, which include information on health-related topics, were utilized in the evaluation. According to an article published by the National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health in the United States, five evidence-based databases are continually updated. These database systems include the Cochrane Reviews, DARE, HTA, NHS, NHS EED, and CENTRAL (Masic et al., 2008). These sources offered reliable information in the study on weight increase associated with chronic heart failure.
Explanation of Why the Sources Provide the Best Evidence
These resources offer access to verified, full-text publications from journal articles and peer-reviewed papers written by nurses, medical practitioners, and research scientists with a clinical background. Evidence-based management research on obesity and chronic heart problems is published in these publications and platforms with scientific data to back them. The sources provide the best evidence as materials are peer-reviewed, regularly updated, thus, credible and reliable (Takeda et al., 2019).
