Praise for Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice:
Model and Guidelines, Third Edition
“Part of the challenge of teaching the EBP process is how to keep it simple so frontline staff
can understand the process and stop seeing it as so complex that only nurses pursuing graduate
studies can comprehend. That is where this book comes in handy. The Johns Hopkins Nursing
Evidence-Based Practice PET (Practice question, Evidence, and Translation) process is explained
in an understandable, guiding manner from beginning to end. In addition to helping one be orga-
nized, the tools are an integral part of further understanding the EBP components. The exemplars
make EBP ‘doable’ and thus relatable. It is impressive that cited EBP projects were implemented
by a single nurse or team of nurses, ranging from frontline staff to multidisciplinary teams, and
including partnering physicians. The book also covers how to overcome barriers to EBP and how
to sustain change achieved from implementing the process. This book gives nurses the knowledge
and power to disseminate EBP, and it is not far-fetched to expect EBP to be a nursing habit.”

“As a clinical nurse leader and EBP champion, I absolutely love the Johns Hopkins Nursing
Evidence-Based Practice: Model and Guidelines book; it is my all-time favorite resource book on
the subject. I had the opportunity to attend a Johns Hopkins EBP boot camp, and while reading
this book, I felt as though I was having that amazing experience again! This book is easy to read
and a great tool for nurses on any level of proficiency. I recommend it as a practical way to
integrate EBP into any practice environment.”

“In 2006, our organization chose to adopt the Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice
Model because of its ease of use and its tools for nurses with diverse educational backgrounds.
With each new edition, the authors improve the quality and function of this model. This third
edition provides further depth and clarification with the addition of a new chapter, ‘Lessons From
Practice: Using the JHNEBP Tools,’ and translation tools that provide clear, concise instruction.
We will continue to use this book as a resource for our nurses and allied health professionals
in developing their knowledge and skills in identification and translation of evidence into daily
clinical and administrative decision-making.”
