Part 1
When implementing evidence-based practice changes you are using the evidence collected that shows these changes are not only necessary but will be beneficial to your change. Although these are supposed to be the best and most effective ways to make changes it doesn't always mean that the change will be for the better and work out exactly how they wanted it to.
To judge whether or not your EBP change was effective, you have to monitor the individuals that are partaking in the change and see if they are improving in their change, monitor the reliability of the EBP to make sure it is being implemented the way it was supposed to be, and examine the relation between learner outcomes and fidelity of implementation which means to care the data from the two and determine if the change it effective and working properly.
When looking at the change in childhood obesity, we have the EBP that shows healthier meals and more well-balanced meal choices, along with exercise helps improve the health and well-being of the child as well as their weight.
In order to make sure this EBP change is working we would have to get a few children from different ages and really follow their eating habits, and their activity choices for their lifestyles and collect data for approximately 6 months to get and accurate result if this change is working or not.
This kind of time frame give the families chance to get used to the new lifestyles being instilled and also gives them plenty of time to see a change, a drop in their weight and increase in energy and better health that is taking place as a whole.
