I foresee that all evidence-based practice proposals and implementation will have some hurdles involved. Since my EBP project is centered around teaching adults, I anticipate some challenges there. Because technology has rapidly changed the way society gathers and obtains data, teaching strategies must also change to facilitate learning amongst different individuals. In a nursing program, a study was conducted by flipping the classroom of nursing students, and they became the instructors. “A flipped classroom teaching approach had a positive impact on student’s learning motivation and contributed to better learning outcomes in an adult-health nursing course” (Jun-Yu Fan et al., p.1). By utilizing different approaches and perspectives on learning, I can reach a larger number of individuals. Additionally, given the opioid epidemic we currently have in the United States, many learners will have preconceived notions about substance use disorder (SUD). My desire is to inform about newly developed tools that can be utilized to screen, intervene and provide resources to nurses with SUD in the hospital setting. “Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is a comprehensive and integrated approach to identify and help those at risk for an SUD or with SUD” (Haskell & Perry, p.24). By providing our staff with the most recent research and newest tools, we can better prepare them to accurately deduce risk factors and symptoms of SUD in their colleagues and intervene to maintain patient and staff safety.
