Evidence-informed practice is increasingly championed as a central framework in the health professions for facilitating shared-decision making, informed choice, and client-centered care. Also called “evidence-based practice” or “evidence-based care”, an evidence-informed practice (EIP) framework rests at the triad intersection between the best available research, the midwife’s clinical experience, and the client’s individual needs, values, and context. In this session, we will explore the EIP cycle (Assess-Ask-Acquire-Appraise-Apply) using current midwifery clinical topics. Specifically, we will cover: developing comprehensive case studies; asking a foreground clinical question; developing a valid PICO; literature search techniques, sources, and key concepts; critical appraisal of published research; and holistic application of research to care. By the end of the session, participants will have the confidence, skills, and resources necessary to enact research fluency during midwifery service using the evidence-informed practice framework.
Learning Objectives:
1. List the three core components of an evidence-informed practice (EIP) framework
2. Recite and describe the five elements of the EIP cycle;
3. Prepare a foreground clinical question and PICO search strategy
