Analysis Of The John Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Model

In the southeast region of the United States (US), at a local church is the location to address the practice problem identified in this design-only DNP proposal development, because the church lacks a FCN, who can provide healthcare services to the church senior’s citizen center. Van Dover and Pfeiffer (2011) explains there is an urgent need for a FCN, who can play an integral role by linking faith and health. For example, the ANA and HMA (2012) acknowledged that FCNs promote, and optimize health and abilities, aid in the prevention of injury and illness, and help parishioners in suffering (American Nurses Association & Health Ministries Association, 2012). FCN in this context can enhance better health practices and values of a faith community

JHNEBP model focuses on best practices for nurses. The JHNEBP model summarizes the adoption of implementing evidence-based into to practice setting using three strategies: (a) identification of the practice question, using a team approach; (b) collection of the evidence, involving searching, critiquing, summarizing, determining the strength of evidence, and making recommendations based on evidence; and (c) translation of the evidence for use in practice to include determining the feasibility of adopting the change and creation an action plan for implementation (Schaffer, Sandau, & Diedrick, 2013). Newhouse, Dearholt, Poe, Pugh, and White (2009) have described the JHNEBP model as a problem-solving approach that is applicable in clinical decision making through the incorporation of the best scientific evidence to promote positive health care. White and Dudley-Brown (2012) explained the model designed by an interdisciplinary and collaborative team of nurse leaders to develop a practical model with the aim of enabling nurses to evaluate current evidence and apply the research finding into patient

Evidence-based practice (EBP) entails the use of explicit, reliable, and judicious evidence to make effective decisions about the care of patients. This DNP student will introduce EBP with the IOWA model. The IOWA model applies to this DNP proposal. The IOWA model is an EBP applicable in healthcare setting and implemented to show the applicability of evidence in nursing to give the best outcome. Doody and Doody (2011) noted that the IOWA model focuses on problem-focused triggers and knowledge in undertaking quality improvement study. The steps involved include topic selection, team formation, evidence retrieval, grading evidence, developing an EBP evidence, implementation of EBP, and evaluation of the progress. These steps apply to this DNP proposal, showing best practices, guidelines, procedures, and policies
