History of Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guideline Development
With more than 2 million health-related manuscripts published in more than 20,000 health care journals every year, a mechanism was required to aid the health care provider in keeping abreast of this information explosion (Farquhar & Vandekerckhove, 1996). Archie Cochrane (1909– 1988), a British obstetrician, gynecologist, epidemiologist, and researcher, suggested that although the randomized controlled trial was the research method most likely to yield reliable results, it was impossible for a
Development of the Nursing Management of the Second Stage of Labor Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guideline
AWHONN’s research-based practice program provides a systematic, participative approach to the design, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based practice guidelines for the use of practitioners in clinical settings (AWHONN, 2000). AWHONN’s journey to guideline development for the management of the second stage of labor began in 1993 with a research utilization project titled Second Stage Labor Management (RU2) (Mayberry & Strange, 1997). The goals of the RU2 were (a) to assist in
Implications for Nursing
The ability to evaluate the level of evidence of qualitative research has broad implications for clinical nursing practice. In addition, evaluating levels of evidence of qualitative research can highlight the unique contribution nursing makes relative to patient care that is easily distinguishable from the contributions of medicine and other health care professions. This assertion is based on the belief that nurses, as do qualitative researchers, tend to approach situations from a worldview

2021, Nursing for Women's HealthCitation Excerpt :Each qualitative study reviewed was evaluated according to the following categories: A detailed description of the qualitative criteria used for the analysis was published in the Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, & Neonatal Nursing (Cesario et al., 2002). Each clinical practice recommendation presented in the Guideline is supported by a referenced rationale and an accompanying quality-of-evidence rating for each quantitative or qualitative reference cited.

2021, Journal of Communication DisordersCitation Excerpt :For assistant-level faculty at R1 institutions in this sample, zero respondents were engaged in qualitative research. For assistant-level faculty at R1 institutions in this sample, zero respondents were engaged in qualitative research, perhaps because qualitative research designs tend to fall into lower levels of the evidence ratings in medicine and are granted lower status within the scope of research (Cesario et al., 2002). Wium and Louw (2018) discuss the preponderance of quantitative over qualitative studies in CSD as a product of the medical model that formed the basis of the field.
Caring for women through early pregnancy loss: Exploring nurses’ experiences of care
2021, CollegianCitation Excerpt :Specifically, insight was sought into what assists and challenges them in providing care, and their perceptions of how the health institution could better support them. A qualitative descriptive design was employed to enable the researchers to approach the data from a comprehensive holistic perspective suitable to the study aim (Cesario, Morin, & Santa-Donato, 2002). Qualitative description is well suited to capture experiences of a health phenomenon, such as early pregnancy loss care, at a surface level using participants’ own words and stories and identifying common themes (Willis, Sullivan-Bolyai, Knafl, & Cohen, 2016).
