The Implementation of an Evidence-Based Practice Mentorship Program

According to Rousseau and Gunia (2016), translation science refers to the investigation of methods, interventions, as well as variables affecting its adoption by individuals and organizations in order to create clinical improvement together with improved health decisions. Strategies include testing the effects of interventions on EBP promotion and adoption.

Translation studies include describing promoters and barriers to knowledge use and consumption, attitudes towards EBP and defining scientific field structures. Moreover, EBP is important simply because it main purpose is to provide effective care with the aim of improving patient outcomes. Patients anticipate receiving the best care with reference to evidence based practice; hence, it is important to critically evaluate it before implementation.

To assess the effectiveness of my evidence-based project, I chose to design a pre and post intervention study design. The study design was inform, of questionnaire where I had several questions posted to my colleagues for challenging responses through the hospital board (Lott & Hughes, 2020). Through the inquisitive nature, I came to learn about both internal and external forces influencing change and implementation of EBP. Internal forces include forces from within the institution while external come from the partnered organization. Therefore, one expects positive patients’ outcomes to mark effective implementation of EBP.
