Workbook for Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals, Fifth Edition

Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals: Model & Guidelines, 5th Edition, reaffirms the original mission of the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice (JHEBP) model to support patient safety, professional development, and the education of healthcare students. Many evidence-based practice (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. The detailed guidelines and specific tools that accompany each step in the process promote success.

This workbook offers additional resources and learning activities to deepen understanding of the content and provide additional perspectives. It may be used as an ancillary to coursework in a classroom or independently for self-guided learning.

The workbook is divided into chapters mirroring the text. Each workbook chapter provides:

• A chapter overview
• A list of key points
• Learning objectives
• Links to associated resources
• Activities to enhance learning
• Call to Action segments that direct users to complete steps in the EBP process for teams working on actual EBP projects
• Discussion questions
• A closer look at annotated tools where applicable
