Title: NR 500NP Week 6: Reflection on Learning<\/strong><\/h2>\nAs an NP and a clinical leader, I intend to make clinical decisions based on EBP and collaborate with the other team members to implement EBP. I will serve as a role model and mentor for evidence-based decision-making. Researching evidence-based practices are more accessible than before. As an MSN-prepared nurse with advanced skills in research and technology, I should be able to quickly and conveniently make clinical decisions based on EBP.\u202f<\/span>
\nThe major barrier I see is time restraints, needing more time to relate with the patient and research EBP to improve care decisions. \u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nReflection is an important practice in nursing practice. It informs nurses\u2019 practice by contributing to their identification of areas of improvement in their roles in the patient care process. Nurse practitioners should demonstrate abilities to enhance their practice using evidence-based interventions. Therefore, this paper is a reflection of my experience with this week\u2019s learning.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nNurse practitioners play an important role in the promotion of evidence-based practice in their roles. As a result, I view my role in the implementation of evidence-based practice to encompass several aspects. One of them is being a change agent. I view my role being a facilitator of change in the implementation of evidence-based practice. I have to adopt interventions such as open communication, training, and active involvement of the adopters of change for successful implementation of evidence-based practice. I also have to assess the need for evidence-based practice in my role. It will include assessing crucial and potential needs in my organization and recommending change initiatives to address them (Belowska et al., 2020). Lastly, I envision my role to include advocating for the right culture that supports evidence-based practice. The organization\u2019s culture should enable best practices utilization for the optimum health of those in need.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u202f\u202f\u202f My future role also entails my engagement in scholarship as a nurse practitioner. One of the ways in which I will engage in scholarship is by publishing articles on issues that affect nursing practice. I will conduct studies to explore how to improve outcomes in nursing practice using best-available evidence. I will also engage in scholarship through continuous professional development (Trautman et al., 2018). I will explore opportunities such as professional trainings to improve my scholarship skills.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u202f\u202f\u202f Some barriers may be experienced in the implementation of evidence-based practice. One of them is resistance to change. The adopters of the evidence-based practices may resist them because of the lack of knowledge and skills, fear of the unknown outcomes, and their inadequate involvement. The other barrier is the lack of institutional support. Health organizations should support change by creating an enabling culture as well as providing adequate financial, material, and human resources (Bach-Mortensen et al., 2018). Therefore, interventions to minimize these barriers should be adopted.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u202f\u202f\u202f In summary, I will play crucial roles in the implementation of evidence-based practice as a nurse practitioner in the future. I will be actively involved as a nurse scholar to advance evidence in nursing. I may experience barriers such as resistance to change in implementing evidence-based practice. Therefore, I should be ready to implement responsive interventions to prevent them.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
