Addressing Burnout in the Primary Care Setting: The Impact of an Evidence-Based Mindfulness Toolkit.

Background: Burnout is insidious and manifests over prolonged, repeated exposure to occupational stressors. There is a growing crisis among health care workers (HCWs) due to high levels of burnout and associated adverse outcomes. Identifying and addressing burnout can be problematic due to extensive variances of perceived occupational stressors across HCWs.

Advancing Readiness Through Military Programs: An Evidence-Based Practice Perspective.

Introduction: Military nurses comprise the largest percentage of military health care providers. In the current military health care system, they have two roles: (1) Patient care in military treatment facilities (MTFs) and (2) patient care during combat operations. Although in MTFs, the military nurse's roles are similar to those of their civilian counterpart, their roles are unique and varied in the combat operational environment.

COVID-19 palliative care toolkit development and military health system deployment.

Background: During the initial phase of the pandemic, we identified a critical gap in the Military Health System's access to palliative care. Our team of nurse scientists and evidence-based practice (EBP) facilitators aimed to develop and implement an evidence-based point of care palliative care toolkit for frontline workers in inpatient settings lacking established palliative care specialists.

Methodology: We utilized Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt's (2018) seven-step EBP process.

Implementing Evidence-Based Practice Facilitators: A Case Series.

Background: In 2017, the TriService Nursing Research Program completed a strategic planning session, which identified key barriers to implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) within the U.S. Military Health System (MHS) including a focus on readiness training and deployments, frequent staff moves for military members, and relatively junior nurses in clinical roles.
