1. The article – Jae, Y. Y., Jin, H. K., Jin, S. K., Hyun, L. K., & Jung, S. K. (2019)
Nurses and healthcare organizations are both responsible for staying current with new research and Evidence-Based Practice findings.
Individual nurses are expected to engage in ongoing professional development and education to keep up to date with the latest advancements in their field. Nurses should regularly review relevant literature, including research articles, clinical practice guidelines, and systematic reviews, to stay updated on the latest evidence and best practices. This includes regularly reviewing new research, attending relevant conferences or seminars, participating in continuing education programs, and actively seeking out opportunities to expand their knowledge base.
On the other hand, organizations have a responsibility to support nurses in their efforts to stay informed. This support may come in the form of providing access to resources such as academic journals, databases, and online libraries, as well as offering opportunities for professional development and continuing education. Organizations should offer training and educational programs focused on EBP principles and research methodology to support nurses in their efforts to stay informed. Moreover, fostering a culture that values evidence-based practice and encourages lifelong learning can further facilitate nurses’ efforts to remain informed. Encouraging peer support networks and mentorship programs within the organization can provide opportunities for nurses to discuss and learn from each other’s experiences with implementing EBP.
To conclude, a collaborative approach between nurses and organizations is essential to ensure that nurses are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to provide high-quality, evidence-based care to their patients.
2. The responsibility of staying current with new research and evidence-based practice findings in nursing primarily falls on the agency/organization. Individual nurses have a responsibility to maintain and enhance their competence throughout their careers by engaging with recent research and EBP. However, it is not possible if organizations cannot provide the necessary resources, such as access to research databases and journals, which are often costly for individuals. Regular workshops and seminars ensure systematic updates to nurses’ knowledge (Titler, 2008).
Additionally, considering the heavy workloads nurses face, organizations should designate time for evidence-based practice activities within work schedules. Although over 64 percent of the nurses had a favorable attitude toward EBP, they acknowledged that their busy schedules prevent them from staying current with new research (Majid et al., 2011). Without substantial organizational support, expecting individual nurses to stay current with new research is unrealistic. Therefore, the agency/organization must ensure nurses have the resources and time needed to integrate the latest evidence-based practices into clinical care effectively.

develop a 10-15 page research proposal. Your final proposal requires you to reflect upon the methods you learned throughout the term and propose a new research study that builds upon what was learned from previous studies.
The first part of the research proposal should clearly define the research question, describe the issues of interest, and summarize the previous literature. Consider carefully what you have learned from your previous writing assignments and the feedback that followed, making any necessary revisions. Link your new study to the limitations of the previous studies in your “Literature Review” section.
The second part of the proposal should clearly and succinctly describe the new study, the methods used, the ideal sample for the defined population, the setting for the study, and the timeline of the study. Conclude with a clear statement of what is to be gained by this study and how it will inform the previous work in this area. Be sure to include an appropriate (descriptive and creative) title for the new research study.
Your proposal should include the following sections:
Introduction
how will you introduce your topic?
Research question(s)
what is your research question or questions, and why is this question important?
Literature Review
You should have at least five (5) outside articles that pertain to your question(s) and provide a good representation of the current literature on the topic
Summary of your proposed study
What is it that you plan to do, and why is it interesting?

Introduction and Thesis (In this section, please give an introduction to the topic, and you must also give a thesis statement for your paper. Your thesis statement must state your position on the issue you have selected. You must state your thesis with the phrase: This paper argues that _______ . For example, This paper argues thattorture is never morally acceptable. Or This paper argues that capital punishment is morally permissible and should re-main legal. In this section, you can include a brief summary of the main reasons for your thesis.) 2. Argument and Explanation (In this section, argue for your thesis. Using one paragraph for each reason, give rea-sons for your thesis. Use at least 4 reasons or more for your thesis. Explain as com-pletely as you can your reasons for your view.

(In this section, you must consider at least 4 objections to your views, and you must reply to each of them. An objection is a reason that goes against your view or what someone might say against your thesis.) Objection 1: (Explain one objection to your view here. For instance, suppose you argued against capital punishment. Someone might object that we should have capital punishment be-cause it deters crime. Using this objection, you would explain here the view that capital punishment deters crime.)
Reply 1: (Here you must reply to objection 1. Respond to objection 1, and explain what is wrong with it. Defend yourself against objection 1. Using the example of capital punishment, you could attempt to reply that capital punishment does not deter crime. You would have to explain why capital punishment does not deter crime. You could find information to back up this reply.) Objection 2: (Here you must give another objection to your thesis. You must have at least 4 objec-tions and 4 replies.)
