Nursing:Cultivating Curiosity/Culture of Evidence Module

Module 0: Creating a culture of curiosity (Step 0)

At the Ingram School of Nursing (ISoN) we have recently adopted the 7 step evidence-based nursing practice (EBNP) process proposed by Melnyk et al. (see Readings & Resources)

This module focuses on step 0 of the process: cultivating curiosity and creating a culture of evidence.

We created the diagram below to illustrate the 7 steps of EBNP and highlights in orange what is unique to this 7 step process:

EBNP process: a methodology & a framework

See the EBM, EBP, EIP, EBNP: what's the difference? tab to learn about the different models, from Evidence-based Medicine (EBM), to Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) to Evidence-Informed Practice (EIP) and finally to the Evidence-Based Nursing Practice (EBNP) process we are using today.

Please note: While this guide is managed by Francesca Frati, the contents of the guide were developed in collaboration with nursing faculty at the Ingram School of Nursing: Irene Sarasua,  Argerie Tsimicalis, Jodi Tuck, Amanda Cervantes and Caroline Marchionni.
