THE ROLE, MEANING, AND PURPOSE OF EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES TRAINING
WHAT IS EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES (EBP)
EBP refers to using the best available evidence for decision-making and providing efficient and effective care. Evidence-based practice is a conscientious, problem-solving approach to clinical or faith-based practice that incorporates the best evidence from well-designed studies, patient/client values and preferences, and a Practitioner's expertise in making decisions about a patient's care. It is a method by which Practitioners across the healthcare and faith-based professions review and assess the most current, highest-quality research to inform their delivery of care. Although there is no precise standard for what constitutes evidence-based practice in specialty training, the approach consists of three main components and five basic steps.
1
Best External Evidence
Evaluate and implement the most current, clinically or faith-based soul-care centered relevant, and scientifically sound research.
2
Individual Clinical or Faith-Based/Spiritual Expertise
Draw on your personal experience of what has worked and not worked in your clinical or faith-based/spiritual practice.
3
Client/Patient Values and Expectations
Consider and value the preferences of your individual client/patients. Levels of evidence in both healthcare and/or faith-based/spiritual expertise research can be grouped into four categories according to how credible the information is. These four categories, ranging from the most credible to the least includes.
