Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice Curriculum for Nurse Residency
This curriculum is designed to:
- Spark curiosity in our nurse residents regarding the evidence-based practice (EBP) process
- Review basic information about the three forms of inquiry EBP, Quality Improvement (QI), and Research
- Help residents identify resources and tools to determine best practices both within the literature and their organization
Why did we develop this curriculum?
Through our experience, we have learned that “EBP initiatives” or “mini-EBPs” do not allow educators to effectively verify EBP skill acquisition. Additionally, they do not represent the true state of the evidence because residents are limited by time and knowledge to perform an adequate literature review, and therefore cannot be implemented based on sound recommendations.
This curriculum is an abbreviated version of the Johns Hopkins EBP model and is not meant to replace our full EBP course. By using activities and case studies, nurse residents can practice skills associated with EBP while bypassing many of the pitfalls of other approaches.
Are we required to use everything in the curriculum?
No! This curriculum is meant to be customized to meet the needs of both educators and nurse residents with multiple options for content delivery for each of the 10 lessons. Additionally, organizations can select accompanying activities or case studies to reinforce EBP skills. Each case study includes an actionable evidence summary that is ready for translations as well as accompanying completed EBP tools including the Question Development Tool (Appendix B), and article appraisals (Appendices E and F).
We are proud to share this new approach to teaching EBP in Nurse Residency. We believe this curriculum will simplify your EBP journey and set up educators, nurses, and leadership for success.
