Abstract
Aim
To describe and discuss mechanisms for integration of evidence-based healthcare (EBHC) skills within nursing curricula informed by a conceptual model and the Sicily Statement.
Background
The integration of evidence-based health care (EBHC) skills into health care education varies significantly across nursing programs. While common educational goals exist, educational disparities persist. The 2005 Sicily statement outlines foundational competencies for EBHC: formulating clinical questions, systematic evidence retrieval, critical appraisal and application of findings. Despite these competencies, EBHC is often viewed as peripheral in both undergraduate and postgraduate education.
Methods
We compared congruency between a conceptual model for EBHC against the Sicily statement.
Results
We emphasize the need for a unified approach to teaching EBHC, highlighting the JBI Model of EBHC as a comprehensive framework that aligns with the Sicily statement. The JBI Model encompasses evidence generation, synthesis, transfer and implementation, providing a structured method for embedding EBHC into health care curricula. By promoting a transdisciplinary pedagogical approach, the JBI Model seeks to enhance student engagement and competency in the EBHC skills and knowledge crucial for developing health care professionals equipped to adapt to evolving evidence and practice needs.
Conclusions
The authors call for an international methodology group to foster the adoption and evaluation of the JBI Model in diverse educational contexts, ultimately aiming to cultivate a workforce that is proficient in applying the best available evidence in clinical settings. The integration of EBHC into educational frameworks is positioned as essential for improving health care outcomes and promoting evidence-informed practice globally.
期刊介绍:
Nurse Education in Practice enables lecturers and practitioners to both share and disseminate evidence that demonstrates the actual practice of education as it is experienced in the realities of their respective work environments. It is supportive of new authors and will be at the forefront in publishing individual and collaborative papers that demonstrate the link between education and practice.
