What are the five steps of evidence-based practice (EBP)? Considering the pros and cons of EBP, as a therapist, would you follow EBP? Explain your answer
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
?EBP combines five steps. The first step is to construct an answerable question, such as, “Which treatments produce the best outcomes in cases of posttraumatic stress disorder”? Next, the clinician conducts a search of the most current scientific literature related to the question. In other words, doing something “because I’ve always done it this way in my practice” is no longer an option. Third, the clinician critically evaluates the relevant literature, using the standards for good science that we discussed in our research methods chapter. This information is then integrated with data regarding a particular case, including the patient’s values and circumstances. Finally, the clinician evaluates his or her performance based on the patient’s outcomes and makes necessary adjustments.
