Connecting Nursing Theory and Evidence-Based Change Models
Evidence-based practice (EBP) results from the integration of available research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences to individualize care and promote effective care decision-making. The Direct Practice Improvement (DPI) Project focuses on a measurable patient outcome from the perspective of a departmental, local health service, organizational, or community-level need. It is not an individual practice change. All projects will require the use of both a nursing theory and an EBP change model.
For the DPI Project, the theoretical framework is based on nursing theory. The primary purpose of nursing theory is to improve practice by allowing nurses to articulate and translate evidence that justifies methodology for practice change, which in turn may positively impact patient outcomes. The relationship between theory and practice is reciprocal. The practice is the basis for the development of nursing theory, whereas nursing theory must be validated in practice.
An EBP change model guides nurses in translating existing research into practice by using a systematic approach to implement the best evidence into clinical practice. Change models also aid in the sustainability of an EBP change. Evidence-based practice change models come from a variety of sources. Examples of models for EBP are the Johns-Hopkins nursing evidence-based practice model, the Stetler model, and the Iowa model of evidence-based practice to promote quality care. Other models are based on business management, examples include Kotter’s 8-step change model, Kurt Lewin’s change model, and Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA). Although there are many models to choose from, the DPI Project requires an appropriate linkage of the nursing theory to the appropriate change model for your DPI Project.
