Research and Advanced Practice Nursing Start by reading the article by DiCenso (2003) to set the foundation for our consideration of evidence-based nursing. Even though this article is 10 years old, the information is seminal to our discussions. Next, read the Decision Support Synthesis Overview document (Dicenso, Martin-Misener, Bryant-Lukosius, Bourgeault, Kilpatrick, Donald, Charbonneau-Smith, (2010). You may wish to scan the full report (Dicenso & Bryant-Lukosius, 2010) for details on any pertinent points of interest from the overview document. The two articles related to the Decision Support Synthesis work are also included in an upcoming unit of your MN800 course, so you will be able to see how closely research is tied to every aspect of advanced nursing practice. Next read at rticle‘6y’Gerrish, et at (2012). a ‘conclusions can you draw from these resources regarding the role of research in advanced practice nursing?
