Week 1, May 29th – June 4th, 2017
This introductory week was largely spent acquainting myself with the concept of
evidence-based nursing practice (or EBP), and how these ideas would be applicable in my own
nursing studies. From the lessons that I gathered from previous studies and the lecture notes, it is
clear that EBP is a resourceful tool useable not only for purposes of research, but also is
utilizable in finding new methods as well as technologies (Ellis, 2016; LoBiondo-Wood et al,
2013). Moreover, EBP offers important facts and empirical evidence to support potential changes
in the field of nursing, and which can be used in teaching new useful methods as well as
techniques that have the potential to bring remarkable contributions to the profession (Stevens,
m
er as
2013). Ultimately, this resource offers excellent research as well as clinical guidelines that are
co
eH w
necessary towards the improvement of the nursing practice.

unit manager, who will be an important source of support and guide in my nursing education and
practice. With my new mentor, we had a productive discussion on the goals and potential

milestones to cover in this course, besides a review of my ideas and perspectives for an
vi y re
evidence-based nursing change, and the strategy of our communication throughout the period of
class.

During this second week, I had a chance to choose my EB change topic. I will be
exploring the effect connection between obesity disorder and PTST incidence in veterans, and
is
find out potential clinically generated evidence-based strategies for mitigating against the
Th
incidence of obesity in veterans with PTSD, as well as the roles nursing care in this regard
(Church, 2013). I also made use of the campus library to access peer-reviewed journal articles as
sh
secondary sources and support for my EB change. Upon data collection, I was able to organize
the information and prepare a plan for the conceptualized EB change.
