Evidenced-based nursing resources.
Evidence-based medicine and, more generally, evidence-based practice (EBP), is the integration of the best available patient care evidence and clinical expertise-guided by and sensitized to patient values-into a patient-oriented decision-making process. It is increasingly clear that all health professions neither equally value nor draw upon the same pool of evidence. Although there are areas of overlap between evidence-based nursing and medicine, for example, there are important differences as well. Accordingly, this selective list of Web-based evidence-based nursing (EBN) resources attempts to capture the broader scope and practice of nursing in terms of its focus, subject matter, and research methods.
