Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals, Fifth Edition

Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals has proven to be one of the most foundational books on EBP in nursing and healthcare. Building on the strength of previous versions, the fifth edition is fully revised with an updated Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice model to better serve as a step-by-step how-to manual for EBP projects.

The revamped, simplified model features updates to the categories of evidence and appraisal tools, with an emphasis on using suitable pre-appraised evidence.

Authors Kim Bissett, Judith Ascenzi, and Madeleine Whalen present outstanding, thoroughly researched content that is based on more than two decades of the model's use, refinement in real-life settings, and feedback from nurses and other healthcare professionals around the world. These changes better support real-life EBP projects while saving time and energy.

NEW key features of the book include:

• A chapter on interprofessional teams
• A chapter on real-world implementation
• Simplified appraisal process
• Improved "Evidence Phase Decision Tree"
• Emerging issues such as artificial intelligence
• Exemplars showcasing the JHEBP model in action
• More direction for searching and screening to streamline the process
• New ways of characterizing best-evidence recommendations

"The latest edition of Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals remains an essential resource for advancing evidence-based practice in healthcare. As the foundation of our DNP Project Process, the JHEBP framework and tools provide a structured, accessible approach to implementing high quality practice change. The model's clarity and practical guidance support students while also facilitating faculty development, offering effective strategies to critically appraise and translate research into needed practice change. Across acute care, primary care, and specialized practice environments, this framework empowers healthcare professionals to implement evidence-based solutions that drive meaningful improvements in patient outcomes across organizations of varying size. A must-have book for educators and clinicians dedicated to excellence in evidencebased practice and transformative change."

"The JHEBP model and guidelines are the most comprehensive and user-friendly tools for busy healthcare professionals and students who strive to deliver evidence-based care. Each chapter clearly, logically, and simply describes some typically time consuming or intimidating components of the EBP process. The enhancements in the fifth edition have really 'moved the needle' of evidence-based practice by modifying language through a pragmatic reconceptualization of the EBP process and its purpose: to make evidence-based decisions with efficiency, effectiveness, and confidence."

"The JHEBP model is dynamic and easy to follow, making it an ideal model used in coaching and guiding clinical nurses to develop and implement EBP projects. The updates and evolution outlined in this fifth edition have further simplified the process, which will be welcomed by clinical nurses who are often overwhelmed and intimidated by the complexity of an EBP project. The text provides clear explanation of the contents, and the appendices are user-friendly and great supplemental documents to ensure robust projects that are meaningful, impactful, and sustainable."
