Nursing Evidence Based Practice In Obesity

Nursing Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) has its origins in medicine, beginning its development in Canada from the discipline of clinical epidemiology, where the group Sackett, in the late 70’s, trying to incorporate research clinical decision making for patients. Another Canadian group led by Guyatt in the 90’s promoted the use of mathematical-based research and statistical evidence (Carey 1995, 76). At the same time the gap between books and periodical literature, the variability in clinical care in patients with the same disease (Monk, Barry, McClain, Weaver, Cooper, Franz 1995, 87), the gap between scientific and clinical practice, and the gap between research and practice facilitated the birth of this new paradigm. Evidence-Based Nursing (EBN) develops later in English-speaking countries, initially taking a positivist framework of medicine. In recent years there have been various definitions of EBE. All patients with obesity show events for normalization of body weight. Normal weight is now considered to be one in which body mass index of less than 25 kg/m2.Nursing Evidence Based Practice In Obesity
