The Appropriateness of a Source in Clinical Practice

How does a nurse know what (if any) knowledge in a research study is usable for clinical practice? What would a critical thinker look for in the evidence before deciding to change? What influence do credibility and clinical significance have on your decisions to integrate research-based evidence into your practice?
Research in the nursing field guides best practices and aids in safety practices for patient care. When assessing if the research study is viable for use there are some guidelines that nurses should keep in mind, was the research conducted in the last 5 years, authors have used primary sources rather rely on secondary, and is the review unbiased with findings that are conclusive ( (Houser, 2016, pgs.117 A critical thinker would analyze previous research and identify inconsistencies such as biased opinions, read the summary to view the author’s conclusion of the study. Research-based practices should be implemented in the guidelines of care, recommendations from high to moderate scientific outcomes that have the most benefit and do the least harm. Nurse Managers and Educators will analyze research constantly to review high to low research studies (Gandhi et al., 2018)

Thanks for the informative post.
One way to evaluate the credibility of sources is to examine these five attribute:; timeliness, authority, audience, relevance, and perspective. Timeliness this depends on the topic of the paper. In healthcare, we generally use 5 years as the cut off. However, if we were discussing a historical event, the timeliness of the material would be connected to that time. Authority involves not only the author but the journal and the peer-reviewed process. Audience, who are the readers and what is the publication’s purpose. As nurses, where are do you get your information for practice? Professional journals over the newspaper or magazines. Websites are a good source but should be evaluated by different standards than research studies or journal articles. Relevance: ask does this relate to the topic and how does it relate are important questions to ask. Perspective (some sources use bias/objectivity): Is the information presented without bias? Does the author try to persuade the reader or direct the interpretation of the facts?
