Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Background: Evidence-based practice (EBP) is promoted as a foundation for nursing practice. However, the 2005 U.S. survey of nurses revealed that they do not have requisite skills for EBP. Purpose and Goals: To evaluate a pedagogical approach aimed at (1) fostering undergraduate nursing students EBP competencies, and (2) identifying gaps in the literature to direct future women's health research. Methods: A secondary analysis of data abstracted from required EBP clinical journals for an undergraduate women's health course in which students (n= 198) were asked to find evidence to answer their clinical questions. Content analysis was used to identify main themes of the topics of inquiry. Results: Students identified 1,808 clinical questions and 30.3% (n= 547) of these could not be answered or supported by evidence in the literature. Conclusions: This assignment was an important teaching and assessment tool for EBP. Questions reflected critical thinking and quest for in-depth knowledge to support nursing practice. Some students lacked skills in searching databases and a significant number of knowledge gaps were identified that can direct women's health research.
