Introduction
The study of medicine and health care is one of the most active fields in human knowledge. Additionally, the amount of money spent each year on excellent sophisticated research has rapidly caused the literature on the subject to develop (Reid et al., 2021).
Discussion
Medicines, medical equipment, and procedures are frequently improved and developed using new technologies. In addition to using conventional, well-established methods and techniques, healthcare professionals are implementing cutting-edge interventions based on best practices and reliable research-based data (Estabrooks et al.,2019). One such method that is increasingly gaining favor is evidence-based practice (EBP), which has the potential to tackle clinical challenges and improve patient care.
In my workplace, I see evidence-based practice being applied in numerous ways. For example, nurses utilize evidence-based guidelines to create individualized plans of care tailored to each patient’s needs. The research-based practice is also used to help physicians decide which treatments and interventions are most likely to produce the desired outcomes. Additionally, it is used when developing policies and procedures to ensure the best possible care for our patients. Furthermore, to make spirituality and self-care practice for our patients and ourselves, I believe creating an environment that encourages and supports these activities is important. We can do this by providing our patients with spiritual resources and opportunities to engage in activities that promote self-care, such as yoga, meditation, or journaling (Smid, 2020). We can also strive to create an atmosphere of mutual respect where everyone feels safe and supported.
Conclusion
This practice aligns with the Christian worldview by emphasizing the importance of caring for our physical and spiritual health. It also encourages us to focus on our relationship with God and be mindful of how our actions affect our spiritual well-being. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of caring for others, a key principle of Christianity.
