EBP and the Theory-Practice Gap

Theory is used in health care and health care practices every day; however, most health care providers are unaware of its influence. By increasing your awareness of philosophy, science, and nursing theory, you are better able to recognize its application in daily practice. The use of evidence-based practice (EBP) models also help facilitate the implementation of research in clinical practice. This Discussion explores EBP as a strategy for bridging the theory-to-practice gap.

To prepare:

Reflect on this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the interrelationship between theory, practice, and research and how evidence-based practice integrates this relationship.

Consider the pros and cons of implementing EBP in nursing practice.

By Day 3 post a cohesive response that addresses the following:

Why would a focus on EBP be good for advanced nursing practice?

What are some drawbacks?
