“Behavioral theoretical approaches offers an approach to direct practice that focuses on observable, concrete client behaviors and outcomes, rather than internal mental processes” (Walsh, Corey, & Corey,
Three areas that an education professional needs to think about when selecting an EBP and considerations for each: 1. The type of practice or program to fit your need. There are a plethora of EBPs so it is pertinent that the correct program is selected based on the concern. For example, if an EBP is required to address a reading deficit concern, then you should not be looking at EBP programs that are concerned with issues pertaining to, for example, behavior issues. In addition, reading deficit is still too vague a term, so the scope should be narrowed and be more specific to identify the reading deficit of concern.
1. You have been instructed of the great importance of using evidence based practice in everyday treatment. Give one example of an evidence-based intervention that you have used thus far. How did you make this intervention occupation-based, as well? If you don't feel that this applies to your FW rotation thus far, why not?
WRAP: Wellness Recovery Action Plan The Recovery Model is a developed approach in helping patients with mental illness. Before the advent of various Recovery Model, there wasn’t much available to treatment or modalities when it came to helping patients recover from mental disorder, apart from the traditional medical approach. The medical approach was very focused on the treatment of the symptoms exhibited by the mentally ill person, rather than the whole person. Having roots in substance-abuse treatment programs, the Recovery Model, more specifically, the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP), focuses on healing the patient holistically, educating them the coping skills as well as other techniques to help them deal with everyday stress that
The profession of nursing has embraced evidence based practice (EBP) as evidence based care combines evidence from research, clinical experience, and patient preferences that help us to ensure that patient care is effective, considerate, and cost effective for facilities and the population served, while meeting the specific needs of each patient Research that leads to EBP tells nurses and health care providers what practices/treatments that work, what does not work, and with whom and where they work best. An example of EBP is that the Affordable Car Act requires that all reimbursable treatments follow the guidelines and recommendations made by the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF). The USPSTF recommendations are derived from
Hi Kimberley, thank you for your thorough discussion of trustworthy and credible research sources. The textbook provided many useful strategies on how to locate evidence-based clinical practice guidelines and systematic reviews. I was encouraged to read some familiar names in the chapter, such as the Joanna Briggs Institute and Cochran Collaboration (Brown, 2014). You made a great point about quality care with your statement regarding nursing’s responsibility to develop best practices using the data we find. Thanks again for your thorough, insightful discussion.
Evidence based Treatment Models Most effective interventions associated with domestic violence include safety planning, child advocacy, information advocacy, and alternate housing. This is generally referred to as “legal advocacy” and involves the criminal justice system. During this process first responders and legal professionals initiate referrals and support such as protection orders, court accompaniment, referral to services, and community therapy agencies (Hamby et. al., 2015) Treatment Model # 1 Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a twelve to twenty-five, hour long session divided equally between the parent and the child.
Framework and Model Importance Frameworks and models are important in guiding evidence-based practice. These systems establish strategies to determine resources, identify barriers, conduct research, implement barriers, and guide processes. They ensure safety, reduce costs, and promote a sustainable health care system. Theories and frameworks are used to understand and explain factors that influence efforts to reduce low-value care, inform research priorities, and the development of targeted strategies and interventions (Parker et al, 2022). Models guide and design the implementation to strengthen evidence-based decision making, helping clinicians make a change in practice.
Decisions should be based on “the strongest level of evidence” (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2015, p. 11). The third step calls for ensuring the evidence is valid, reliable and applicable. Fourthly, the evidence is integrated with clinical expertise and patient values to formulate a plan.
As I progress in my career, I feel that it is important to develop a personal style and technique that clients can relate to. I am also interested in learning more about assessments and evaluations as they drive the rehabilitation plan. While I have assessed hundreds of clients, I realize that there is more to learn. For instance, the trend over the next five years will be an increase in applicants who receive state-plan home and community based services. The Final Rule issued by The Center for Medicare and Medicaid will require that individuals receive services in the most integrated settings.
Outcome based practice is a method used in health and social care services which is designed to have a direct effect on an individual; an outcome is also referred to as the end result, it is essentially the impact on the individual after an activity or service. Outcome based practice supports person centred care as it promotes staff to encourage citizens to take an active participation in their support/care. Instead of just identifying the needs of the individual and basing their support soley around what they need in the community, it is about putting the individual at the core of the practice and highlighting what is important to them in relation to wants, feelings, needs and desired outcomes to gather deeper understanding when prioritising
This assignment has impacted my perspective on evidence-based practice by helping me build clinical reasoning skills and knowledge of difference diagnoses that will enables me to apply the most high-quality and appropriate intervention strategies that is proven effective in improve patient’s treatment outcome.
One of its problem is prioritising empirically tested evidence. Randomised controlled trials are considered to be at the top of the hierarchy of levels of evidence and ideas and opinions are at the bottom (Allan, Briskman & Pease, 2009). However, just because an intervention has been tested by randomised controlled trials to people with similar problems, it cannot be the best intervention for another person. It also has potential of excluding social work knowledge base and our understanding of economic, social and political influences. For example, it may not take account of what it means to be alienated from one’s own culture or the impact of economic deprivation (Allan, Briskman & Pease, 2009).
The sources always forces that research is done in such a way where bias to the question or research task will not be
Therapy based on evidence had been tried and trusted ever since. Especially, when it comes to behavioral-cognitive therapy, empirical evidence is very useful and also in some parts of family therapy, it can help to proceed through the issues as well. I still think that experience is more important than empirical evidence, just because of the fact that every client is different and in particular in family therapy we have more than one person that is meant to be helped. Here, professional practical skills, knowledge, and much experience is needed to perform best. No theory or technique can be good enough to help a client, if the therapist does not know how to convey the knowledge he has.
