Less is known about the undergraduate nursing students’ ability to conduct beginning research. This study aims to explore and describe nursing students' experiences in planning and implementation of community health fairs; and utilizing evidence based practice integrated with research as a learning outcome. The study using a quantitative and descriptive design was conducted by senior nursing students during diverse community health events as a part of Gerontological nursing clinical. The students utilized three fall assessment tools: Balance and Gait test, Timed Up and Go test, and 10-year Fracture Risk Calculation. A total of 74 students participated in seven community health fair events focused on Fall Prevention. This health fair event was in conjunction with the National Fall Prevention Awareness week. A total of 201 older adults were served during the event by nursing students who provided screening process and related health education. Data were gathered and a group of students volunteered to complete the research process. The students participated in oral presentation in the Annual University Research Student Symposium and had poster presentation in the professional academic conference. Early systematic organized planning of the clinical experience gives students opportunity to integrate evidence based practice into research. Application of varied evidence based assessment tools focused on older adults enables students to understand the health issue in depth and the need for additional services. Health fair experiences improve students’ communication and education skills, reality of health issues of the target population in a community, and evidence based research.

Evidence Based Nursing

Background and Purpose:With an increasing emphasis on evidence-based nursing in general,evidence-based practicehas become a buzzword among community health nurses in many countries. Despite the global interests, evidence-based community health nursing is not even clearly defined in the literature and very little is known about the current status of evidence-based community health nursing. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to identify the status quo of evidence-based nursing in community health nursing through an integrative literature review.Methods:Four electronic databases were searched from the earliest year to 2016 with combinations of keywords. Twenty-six eligible articles were reviewed, and the characteristics reflecting the current status of evidence-based community health nursing were extracted.Results:Through the content analysis process, 6 characteristics were identified. First, in evidence-based community health nursing, the needs of clients, families, caregivers, and health care professionals were identified and assessed. Second, interventions were planned based on systematic reviews on various relevant sources. Third, various types of research methods were used. Fourth, available resources were assessed and used, and the findings of cost estimation, cost/effectiveness, or cost/benefit analyses were reported. Fifth, training, support, monitoring, and coordination were included as major components. Finally, the evidence used and/or found in the studies was evaluated, disseminated, and updated as the last step.Implications for Practice:Community health nurses are required to continuously integrate, implement, evaluate, disseminate, and update their evidence for future evidence-based community health nursing.

Ebp Implementation

Background and Purpose: This study developed and validated a theory of planned behavior (TPB)-based self-report instrument to measure nursing students' attitudes toward evidence-based practice (EBP), perceived support, self-efficacy, and implementation of EBP. Methods: There were 348 nursing students at 1 university who completed the measure as a pretest at the beginning of a course designed to teach them about EBP; 164 at the end of the course as a posttest. Results: Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) students reported higher EBP implementation scores than Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) students who, in turn, had higher scores than prespecialty students. At the pretest, selfefficacy and network support accounted for 31% of the variance in EBP implementation. Conclusions: Evidence provides initial support for the reliability and validity of this 4-part EBP instrument based on the TPB.

Understanding the unique needs of school nurses is crucial for developing strategies to increase use of evidence-based health care practices in schools. This article describes the development and evaluation of an instrument designed to identify the needs of school nurses and variables associated with use of evidence-based practice in the school setting, that is, the School Nurse Evidence Based Practice Questionnaire (SN-EBP). After questions were drafted, reviewed, pilot-tested, and revised, data were collected from 386 school nurses for psychometric testing. The initial version consisted of 91 content items in five sections. Principal components analysis with promax rotation identified 17 factors in the five sections of the questionnaire, with Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for the sections ranging from .62 to .89. The questionnaire showed good discrimination between known groups on key factors. The SN-EBP was reduced to 69 content items and demonstrated sufficient reliability and validity to warrant further use. It is the only scale available for use in identifying needs and variables associated with use of evidence-based practice in this population.
