Interrelationship Between Theory and EBP

Interrelationship Between Theory and EBP
Interrelationship Between Theory and EBP
The Interrelationship Between Theory, Knowledge, and
Research and Evidence-Based Practice
Fawcett and Garity (2009) present an overview of the relationship
between theory, knowledge, research, nursing research, and
evidence-based practice (see attached file). As you prepare for
this Discussion, reflect on your own specialty area and consider
how the authors’ definitions of evidence-based practice and of
research align with your understanding of these concepts based
on your professional experiences and your experiences as a
doctoral student embarking on your EBP Project.
To prepare:
Reflect on Fawcett and Garity’s definitions of knowledge,
theory, research and evidence-based practice presented in
the Learning Resources. How do these definitions align
with your understanding of the concepts?
How does this interrelationship support or guide your EBP
Project?
