The purpose of evidence-based practice is to integrate clinical expertise and expert opinions, outside scientific evidence, and the values of those individuals involved to provide services that reflect upon the interests, morals, requirements, and choices of individuals being served (Introduction
Evidence based practice and research is a balanced body of knowledge. Both research and evidence based practice play a key role that is secured through the balance of clinical practice, education, and research (Mckeon et al, 2015). Research is the act of reappraising or generating/creating new knowledge into present knowledge, with increase understanding of the study phenomenon (Burns & Groves, 2008). Evidence based practice, however, is the integration of the best evidence in conjunction with clinical
epidemiological, recognized, quantifiable study design that helps in systematical evaluation of earlier research studies to originate conclusions indicative of body of research. Conclusions drawn from meta-analysis may consist of a more detailed and accurate assessment of the consequences of various treatments, different risk factors for any particular or specific disease, or other outcomes, than individual research contributing to joint analysis. One of the critical outcome of meta-analysis study result is
