Facilitator Guide for Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals, Fourth Edition

This facilitator’s guide for Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals: Model and Guidelines, Fourth Edition, is intended for use by university faculty and nurses and healthcare clinicians facilitating professional development in healthcare organizations.

The textbook has proven to be one of the most foundational books on evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing and healthcare. Many EBP books are in print today, but what makes this book valuable is its applicability for use in the classroom and its practical approach for the practice setting. Building on the strength of previous versions, the fourth edition is fully revised to include updated content based on more than a decade of the model’s use, refinement in real-life settings, and feedback from nurses and other healthcare professionals around the world.

The facilitator’s guide offers details about incorporating EBP content throughout baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral curricula, including suggestions about teaching EBP, leveling the content depending on student knowledge and previous experience with EBP, and examples of course objectives, assignments, and grading rubrics.
