The problem statement
can be addressed by analyzing two of the seven survey questions that
ask the nurses to rate the implementation of EBP in their hospital
unit:
-
“All of the practice changes
so far have been practical and fit well with the workflow of the unit.”
-
“Evidence based practice
does not take into account the limitations of my practice setting.”
The online survey was
offered to all registered nurses employed by the hospital. A total
of 854 nurses were invited to participate. The survey includes seven
rating questions that pertain to excellence in EBP. The nurses were
asked to rate each of these questions on a five-point Likert scale.
The responses for these seven questions and participant demographics
are contained in the file EBP_Survey_Responses2.jmp. Data definitions
are given at the end of this case. A copy of the complete survey
can be found in the online resources that accompany this book.
