This aim of the mini-review paper is to introduction the bio-physiologic measures of resting state EEG for nursing scientist. Article specifically addresses the emotional domain as clarified by concepts of brain evidence-based nursing research reviewed that the emotion aspect documented a strong link to frontal brain alpha activities asymmetry.  Extensive nursing research has been performed in emotional, behavioral, and/or psychological matters for healthy and unhealthy populations. Evidence-based nursing can transform the way that data is used to improve health and healthcare. One core role of nursing practice is to promote healthy behaviors. Previous researches have shown out that the brain is the main ambassador of behavioral change. The electroencephalogram (EEG) is an efficient tool to study brain-behavior relations. Evidences show that frontal alpha asymmetry is an important marker suggests that EEG is beneficial for assessment emotional capacities and appraises nursing efficiency. The basic resting alpha frontal asymmetry provides a reliable instrument in conducting nursing researches in order to strengthen the quality of nursing. Furthermore, we provide a viewpoint to show progress in the novel research issue probably for clinical applications. To integrate biological measures in order to gain highly accurate and precise advantages of EEG and beneficial assessment of the emotional capacities are suggested. Nursing promotes healthy behaviors including emotional health. Human behavior changes originate in the brain. EEG enables objective and biological insights into the cognitive process. As a foundation, the neuroscience research requires profound knowledge and tools to analyze bio-physiological data. Creating Cross-disciplinary cooperation must be inevitable alliances to advance nursing research.

The introduction of and the commitment to evidence-based nursing in all care settings have led to a rapid increase of intervention and outcome-based research programs. Yet, the topics of nursing research are not only affected by interventions and outcomes but also affected by the concept of caring derived from humanistic philosophy. Considering this twofold orientation of nursing science, nuanced ethical regulations for nursing research programs are called for. In addition to the different research approaches, further arguments for ethical regulations are as follows: first, the different degrees of contextualization and the variety of participation models regarding the target groups; second, the capacities and opportunities of participants; and third, the caring relationship between nurses and research subjects. To capture these special features of nursing science, four approaches to fill the gaps in existing ethical regulations for nursing research are proposed: (a) process orientation, (b) community orientation, (c) context orientation, and (d) relation orientation.

Introducción: La Práctica Basada en la Evidencia se considera actualmente un eje fundamental a la hora de actuar en el entorno clínico. Además, se ha de tener en cuenta que la integración de la PBE en la forma habitual de trabajo requiere un esfuerzo, es decir, un aprendizaje previo para poder, en primer lugar, saber acceder a las pruebas; en segundo lugar, saber interpretar dichas pruebas; y a groso modo, en último lugar, si consideramos necesario, integrar dicha evidencia en nuestro entorno. Objetivo: Describir la progresión de la integración de la PBE de forma transversal en el Programa Formativo del Grado de Enfermería de la Universitat Jaume I de Castellón de la Plana. Metodología: Para poder realizar dicha integración transversal, se cuenta con el desarrollo previo de unas competencias que vienen dadas de forma general en la Orden CIN 2134/2008 y el Libro Blanco de Enfermería y que son adaptadas y recreadas para la idoneidad del entorno académico en la universidad anteriormente citada. De esta forma, el plan de integración que se propone, es un plan secuencial escalonado, el cual, se añade dificultad a medida que van avanzando los cursos del Grado en Enfermería; finalizando el mismo con el Trabajo de Final de Grado. Además, se realiza una revisión integradora de la literatura científica. Los artículos fueron seleccionados en Medline/pubmed, Cochrane y EEP Datebase. El límite temporal fue de 10 años. Los idiomas empleados, inglés y español; Los descriptores de búsqueda empleados fueron: Nursing, evidence-based practice, evidence-based nursing, Research competencies y education. Resultados: Tras el muestreo inicial y la realización de las búsquedas, se obtuvieron un total de 329 artículos, de los cuales pertenecían 97 de Pubmed/medline, 6 de Cochrane plus y 226 de EEP Dapbase, siendo presentados al comité de expertos y procesado su interés científico. Conclusiones: El departamento de enfermería crea el programa de Integración de la PBE en el Programa Formativo del Grado en Enfermería de la Universidad Jaume I, el cual, trabaja de forma transversal durante los cuatro años académicos, que permiten adquirir la capacitación de enfermero generalista, los conocimientos, habilidades y actitudes que permitirá mediante el ejercicio académico, los estudiantes de enfermería, sean competentes en el uso de la PBE pudiendo integrarla de forma progresiva en sus trabajos académicos, dando lugar finalmente a llevarla a cabo en su trabajo final de grado y convirtiéndose así en una realidad futura dentro de su desarrollo como profesionales de la enfermería tras su graduación, integrándose en cualquiera de sus vertientes.

Background: Nurses make a positive difference every day and continue to shape the future of healthcare through planning, implementation and dissemination of quality research studies. The practice of evidence-based nursing is determined by the nurse’s clinical experience as well as clinically relevant research knowledge, willingness to apply research to practice, and the skills to do so. No previous studies had been conducted to assess the conduct and utilization of nursing research and EBP in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia.Objective: Assess current nurses’ research knowledge, attitude, and practice related to research conduct and utilization and to determine individual, organizational and contextual factors that predicts nurses’ ability to conduct and utilize research findings into practice.Methods: Descriptive correlational cross-sectional design utilized to study a convenient sample of 719 nurses working at different health care sectors in the Eastern Region of KSA. [33] Items Research KAP Survey measured nurses’ KAP related to research© (KAP), a. three level Likert Scale (ranging from one to 3). Score less than 1.66 is “low, 1.67 to 2.33 is “moderate” and 2.34 to 3.0 is “high”.Results: A response rate of 89.9% was obtained. Nurses were mostly females, aged between 30 to 40 years. Nurses’ knowledge and attitude levels were moderate (1.78, 1.88 respectively), however the practice was low (1.31). Individual factors explained 77.4% (R2 = .774, F (5)=458, p<.001), contextual factors explained 8% (R2 = .089, F(4)=15.2, p<.001), and organizational factors explained 77.4% of the nurses ability to practice evidence based (R2 = .774, F(5)=458, p<.001).Conclusion: The study findings provide feedback to strengthen nursing research competencies at the regional level and to the Development of nursing research-related policies, guidelines, and educational programs for evidence based nursing practice.

Evidence Based Nursing

Evidence-based nursing practice is based on three pillars: the available research, known preferences of the patient or patient group and the professional experience of the nurse. For all pillars, research is the tool to expand the evidence we have, but when implementing evidence-based practice in paediatric nursing two of the pillars demand that children are included as respondents: practice research on the nursing interventions in paediatrics and the preferences of patients, something recognized by scholars and practitioners. But including a vulnerable group as children in nursing research raises specific ethical issues that need to be considered by researchers. What are ethical considerations that are currently raised about doing research with children and what do we learn by synthesizing the narrative of these studies of why the issues are raised and which solutions can be offered for these issues? In this article, considerations on three ethical principles according to the Belmont report are described by examining recent research. Twenty-one studies were found addressing relevant ethical aspects including vulnerability, gaining consent, designing quantitative or qualitative research methods and considerations regarding the execution of the study. Ethical considerations should be much more a case of continuous awareness and attitude, then box-ticking exercise, although there are sufficient international guidelines available specifically for research that includes children to aid researchers.

Hintergrund: Hinter der konkreten Anwendung von Forschungsergebnissen in der pflegerischen Praxis steht ein mehrdimensionaler Prozess. Derzeit liegen in Österreich noch keine Ergebnisse vor, die den Einfluss auf und den Zusammenhang mit Forschungsanwendung in Krankenhäusern erklären. Ziel: Ziel der Studie war, Einflüsse und Zusammenhänge von persönlicher Einstellung zu Forschungsanwendung, Verfügbarkeit von Forschungsergebnissen und institutioneller Unterstützung von Pflegekräften in Spitälern in Österreich in Bezug auf die Forschungsanwendung zu untersuchen. Methode: Im Rahmen eines nicht-experimentellen quantitativen Querschnittdesigns wurde 2011 eine multizentrische Studie (n = 10) durchgeführt. Ergebnisse: Die Stichprobe umfasst 178 diplomierte Gesundheits- und Krankenpflegepersonen, die mittels Fragebogen befragt wurden. Die multiplen Regressionsanalysen zeigen, dass eine positive Einstellung zu Forschungsanwendung (β = 0,388; p < 0,001), die Verfügbarkeit von aufbereiteten Forschungsergebnissen (β = 0,470; p < 0,001) und eine adäquate institutionelle Unterstützung (β = 0,142; p < 0,050) einen signifikanten Einfluss auf die Anwendung von Forschungsergebnissen haben. Die Pfadanalyse belegt, dass der Besuch von Kursen zu Evidence-based Nursing die Einstellung gegenüber Forschungsanwendung in starkem Maße positiv beeinflusst (β = 0,464; p < 0,001). Schlussfolgerungen: Gesundheitseinrichtungen sind gesetzlich gefordert, vorhandene positive Einstellungen zu nutzen und Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten für eine wissenschaftsorientierte Pflegepraxis zu schaffen.
