Evidence based Practice Research

Willard-Grace et al. , (2015) found that following patient coaching, there were improved diabetic indicators in patients compared to those who did not undergo the patient coaching sessions. Medication adherence also as a contributing factor to better glycemic control was improved in patients following patient coaching interventions (Thom et al. The benefits of patient coaching hence provide a multi-nodal impact on the outcomes of the diabetic patient. Igniting the Spirit of Inquiry The nursing practice as a science is backed by scientific rationale and evidence-based practices. Critical Appraisal of Evidence The research articles identified are assessed for rigor and validity of their findings through a critique of the research to establish their validity for use in evidence-based practice. The articles identified from the database were evaluated by identifying that the articles were peer-reviewed, included variables that were able to answer the research questions and that the findings of the research were congruent to the research questions.
