Discuss barriers to Evidence Based Practice.
Post a brief statement of your Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) findings based on what you learned from your week four approved articles. How do you
overcome barriers to implementing change in practice? Describe the anticipated barriers to the change process in your institution (or where the change will
be implemented). Include the organization’s culture, its reaction to change, and your leadership role for a change.

The adoption of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is a complex process that entails behavioral change by healthcare professionals as well as changes in the entire healthcare system. However, its application has been recognized worldwide that it improves the health services, as it increases the quality of care and reduces hospital costs. Factors that prevent the implementation of EBP may relate to either the nurses’ or the organizations readiness for implementing it, and include awareness regarding the need for information, actual knowledge based on documented knowledge, access to resources, and an organizational culture that supports EBP as well as the time period required for its implementation. More specifically, research has shown that factors limiting the extent of EBP include lack of knowledge and skills, insufficient time to find research reports, difficulty in understanding research reports, lack of resources, limited support, lack of financial, material and human resources and inadequate training in research methods.
Interpretation in history is the act of describing, analyzing, evaluating, and creating an explanation for previous events. It heavily relies on primary and secondary sources to form its base. The historian must analyze his sources to create a dynamic pattern of pictures that reflects the shape of the historical event. A good history interpretation is not measured by the ability of the historian to include all the facts into his narrative but rather the ability of him to fill in the gap of his sources with inference or speculation. Once the history is interpreted, the historian’s explanation will be evaluated whether it is objective or subjective that aligns with reality. A prominent example of this is the history of prehistoric society. One of the primary sources of this is the cave drawing of Lascaux cave that shows a vivid illustration of various animals such as horses and bison. Based on this painting, many historians and researchers have drawn different historical interpretations of it. The common would be that this painting symbolizes the lifestyles of the previous human species that depend on hunting and serve as the ceremonial purpose of a successful hunt. Other than that, a German researcher, Dr. Michael Rappengluck interpreted this painting as the representation of a historical star map. He explained that the drawing of a bird, a birdman, and a bull is the symbolism of the stars Altair, Deneb, and Vega. We may see that both interpretations are based on the same subject but have a different outcome. In this manner, we can not say that either one of them has a bad interpretation because both are aligned with reality and therefore shows the use of inferences and speculations making both of them a good interpretation.
