HealthPark Medical Center NICU Nursing Research Journal Club


Description

Introduction: An important part of our professional nursing practice is the ongoing development of knowledge. We consistently strive to provide "Best Practice" for our patients and families, and know that these practices must be determined by sound research rather than by clinician preferences or traditions. Current research findings can help solve clinical problems, improve outcomes, introduce new technology, support cost-effective changes, and understand patient perspectives.

The NICU Nursing Research Journal Club seeks to provide nurses with an opportunity to regularly participate in reading, reviewing and understanding professional literature and published studies.

With the support of the Lee Memorial Health System Center for Nursing Research & Practice Development, nurses can continue to develop skills in evidence-based practice and primary nursing research.

Target Audience: All Lee Memorial Health System Nursing Staff.

Purpose: The NICU Nursing Research Journal Club will strive to:

  • Enhance nurses' ability to critically evaluate published research.
  • Develop an awareness of current nursing research studies specific to neonatal nursing and professional nursing practice.
  • Evaluate current practice based on evidence-based nursing research findings.
  • Share information with other neonatal staff.
  • Stimulate the growth of critical thinking skills.
  • Enhance nurses' knowledge of the research process.
  • Motivate nurses to participate in evidence-based practice and/or nursing research at LMHS.

Topics: The journal article to be reviewed will be posted monthly on the Medical Library and Nursing WebPages.

Hard copies may be obtained from the NICU Clinical Educator.

Format:

  • Discussion groups
  • Article review outlines Email messaging
  • Possible future meetings

Further information:

Journal Club updates will be posted in NICU newsletter, New Stork Times.

For further information about the NICU Nursing Journal Club contact Sandra Blackington.
