Utilization of Evidenced Based Practice by RN’s in the Pediatric Cardio-Thoracic ICU Connie Myres MSN, RN, CCRN and Erin Trotter BSN, RN Purpose Change Implementation Strategies Evaluation Developing a framework for staff nurses to look at current practices, policies, and review literature to present a case for a change in practice based on evidence. Bi-monthly EBP nursing rounds presented by PCTU RNs in a peer to peer format. The goal is to utilize a multi-pronged approach to engage nurses in the application of nursing research in the pediatric congenital heart population. Staff nurses present topics they would like to learn more about based on a clinical issue they see in their nursing practice. The Educational Nurse Coordinator and staff nurse work together to discover the following: Our first rounds occurred in May 2011 with 25 nurses attending. Those nurses were surveyed to evaluate our learning objectives. Survey Results: Objectives: Synthesis After attending the EBP practice conference in March 2011, the unit nurses wanted to create a process to present EBP. Staff nurses would be able to present EBP in a comprehensive approach based on clinical and/or nursing sensitive indicators. Significance • Once the above has been completed, a nursing rounds is scheduled to be presented on all shifts. This includes a poster that has the above listed for review. Copies of nursing articles are provided, along with CE opportunities. Reference material is available for nurses who could not attend rounds.
