and generates new knowledge that directly and indirectly influences nursing practice.
Evidence Based Practice (EBP) ✅Evolves from the integration of the best research
evidence with clinical expertise and patient's needs and values.
Best Research Evidence ✅The empirical knowledge generated from the synthesis of
quality study findings to address a practice problem.
Clinical Expertise ✅The knowledge and skills of the healthcare professional who is
providing care. Depends on # of years of clinical experience, current knowledge of the
research and clinical literature and educational preparation.
Description ✅Involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena

of similar patients to promote understanding of healtcare interventions.
To ensure an effective research enterprise in nursing, the discipline must: ✅1) Create
a research culture.
2) Provide high-quality educational programs.
3) Develop a sound research infrastructure.
4) Obtain sufficient funding for essential research.
The six competencies areas essential for inclusion in nursing education to ensure that
