Please I need help responding to this classmate post. Using Informatics to Support Evidence Based PracticeMary Williams posted Jan 31, 2023 9:12 PMSubscribeThis page automatically marks posts as read as you scroll.Adjust automatic marking as read setting One area of interest to me is in the education arena and is the development of annual nursing competencies. In my current role as a nurse educator, I am tasked with developing content for yearly competencies. Every year, my team and I cover the basic skills that are requirements for accreditation and the NYS Department of Health, such as blood transfusion, lab specimen collection and labeling, and Point-of-Use cleaning. In addition to the basic skills, we try to add something new every year. This year I was in charge of developing a competency for PICC line removal for nursing. In developing this competency, I used websites such as ONS Access Device Standards of Practice for Oncology Nursing and the Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice guidelines from the Infusion Nursing Society website. Both websites are reputable sources of information, per the evaluation criteria of the National Library of Medicine (Hebda, et al., 2019). “Informational literacy is a fundamental for successful implementation of EBP” (Farokhzadian, et al., 2021, p. 2). It is essential nurses understand and possess a firm grasp on information literacy so they can provide the highest quality of care to patients. When evaluating the websites I was gathering information from, namely the ONS Access Device Standards of Practice for Oncology Nursing and the Infusion Nursing Society websites, both websites consistently cited their material. Further, the websites were both frequently cited by The Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation (ONCC). I have used the ONCC many times throughout my career and found their information is accurate, well cited, and reputable. Until this module, I was not aware of the National Library of Medicine and their guidelines for validating health information online. I found it interesting because I have subconsciously chosen websites that fall into these categories. For example, if I go to a website that spams me with ads and pop-ups, I will not utilize the information. Hebda, et al. (2019) states that websites from hospitals, government, and healthcare organizations will usually provide the most accurate data. I also find this very accurate. I feel more at ease when I am citing a “.gov” or “.org” website. There were a couple of interesting articles I stumbled upon while working on this post. There were two studies I found where information literacy training was piloted. In the first study, Farokhzadian, et al. provided a workshop of information literacy for EBP to critical care nurses (2021). Nurses sat through three eight-hour training seminars over a three-week period. These seminars included lectures, questions, and hands-on online exercises to improve information literacy and increase the nurses’ ability to search for information. At the end of this study, the nurses’ knowledge regarding search operators and databases was significantly improved (Farokhzadian, et al., 2021). In a study by Cantwell, et al. (2021), the impact of teaching information literacy to nursing students was studied. This study included the importance of a collaboration between nursing faculty and library staff to assist the students in understanding information literacy. Integrating this early in nursing school is a sound way to keep students engaged in career-long learning. When I was in undergrad, I had no idea what the librarians did. I did not know you could ask the librarian to help you search journal articles. At my current job, our librarian and I are best friends. Librarians are an invaluable resource! Last, while doing research on this topic, I searched the Health on Net Foundation online and discovered the website is no longer functioning, as of December 2022. I was unable to determine if any other websites stepped up to the plate to take its place. References Cantwell, L.P., McGowan, B. S., Planchon-Wolf, J., Slebodnik, M., Conklin, J.
