Implementing evidence-based nursing: some misconceptions
Abstract
Implementing evidence-based nursing: some misconceptionsDuring the brief time that we have been engaged in developing Evidence-Based Nursing we have been fascinated by the reactions of friends, professional colleagues, and the media.The overwhelming majority of responses to the concepts of evidence-based nursing and the creation of this journal have been positive.But there have also been misgivings, sometimes generated by misunderstandings.This editorial addresses the following criticisms which we have encountered in person and in print: (1) evidence-based practice isn't new: it's what we have been doing for years, (2) evidence-based nursing leads to "cookbook" nursing and a disregard for individualised patient care and, (3) there is an over-emphasis on randomised controlled trials and systematic reviews in evidencebased health care.We intend the paper to generate, rather than close the debate!A model for evidence-based clinical decisions (adapted from Haynes et al. 6 )

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
