Replication studies with economically and culturally diverse samples are needed. Further, testing longitudinal interventions that address infant feeding practices is likely to yield the evidence needed for shaping future clinical practice guidelines that reduce the risk for childhood obesity and related pediatric comorbidities.

Implementation plans that address the concerns and complexities of everyday practice are an essential aspect of guideline development. The PARIHS framework was found to be comprehensive and accommodating of the complexity of everyday practice associated with guideline implementation in primary health care. The pertinence of the framework confirms its usefulness as a tool to guide implementation.

Interventions using short messaging service may be most effective as a reminder system to support disease management behaviors. Existing recommendations for tailored, interactive, and family‐centered care are supported with mobile technology recommended to augment clinical practice and health behavior change efforts. However, more rigorous, theory‐based intervention research using mobile technology is warranted in pediatric and adolescent populations.

The mortality rate is high and has been found to decrease if patients are treated early and aggressively with surgical debridement and broad‐spectrum antibiotics. Unfortunately these infections present similarly to other types of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) making diagnosis difficult.Aims: This paper reviews the evidence surrounding the early diagnosis of NSTIs. This was used to develop a clinical practice guideline (CPG) for implementation in the emergency department (ED) setting to assist the provider in distinguishing NSTIs from SSTIs to potentially decrease the time from presentation to diagnosis.Methods: A review of the literat...

A Canadian survey, for example, demonstrated patient safety to be a major concern of frontline nurses (Nicklin & McVeety 2002). Three crucial patient safety elements, current knowledge, resources, and context of care have been identified by the World Health Organization (WHO 2009). To develop strategies to respond to the scope and mandate of the WHO report within the Canadian context, a pan‐Canadian academic‐policy partnership has been established.Approach: This newly formed Pan‐Canadian Partnership, the Queen's Joanna Briggs Collaboration for Patient Safety (referred throughout as “QJBC” or “the Partnership”...

Organisational commitment at the highest level is key to APNs’ ability to fulfil this aspect of their role.

SNRI appeared to reduce fall rates initially, but fidelity to the SNRI implementation and documentation was variable and fall reduction gains appeared lost 1 year later. Nurses expressed the importance of balancing intervention fidelity and individualizing patient interventions.

HCP work with patients of varying cultures, and standard ADs do not address cultural differences. In order to understand various cultural beliefs, cultural sensitivity is important especially when discussing advance care planning (ACP).Aims: Individuals from differing ethnic backgrounds are likely to turn to their traditional norms of practice when ill or treatment choices must be made. An AD that addresses varying cultural values and beliefs was sought.Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted. Articles selected for review included qualitative and quantitative studies. The evidence was...

The delivery of brief smoking cessation interventions is known to be highly cost‐effective; however, research demonstrates that practitioners often fail to raise the issue of smoking cessation with older adults. This study has demonstrated the effectiveness of a 1‐day training course for practitioners. Further research is recommended.

The attitudes of nurses toward pressure ulcers are significantly correlated with the application of adequate prevention. No correlation was found between knowledge and the application of adequate prevention.

Of the symptom distress, nausea/vomiting should be prioritized by nurses when managing cancer‐related fatigue. This study provides sound empirical evidence that can be used to draft guidelines for the management of cancer‐related fatigue.

A historical review of evidence‐based models is presented. The revised Colorado Patient‐Centered Interprofessional EBP Model supports use of research evidence and nonresearch evidence and adopts a patient‐centered approach to EBP.Aim: The purpose of this article is to present a framework that can be used to transform an organization and foster the use of evidence by interdisciplinary team members.Approach: An evidence‐based intervention to decrease catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) is presented to show how the model is operationalized.

A relation between experiences of high incidence of falls with negative consequences and a positive attitude and compliance to CPGs appeared. To assure compliance and a positive attitude requires an obvious benefit of the CPG in reducing falls. Factors to overcome barriers to implementation and compliance seem to be a supportive leadership, systematic evaluations of the CPG outcome, and the facilitator role.

Aim: To explore attitudes and experiences among nurses and managers in order to capture which factors and conditions impact on the successful implementation of individual care plans within hospital care, as well as the strategies that were adopted to ensure continued use. Method: The study was carried out through directed content analysis guided by the Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services framework. Interviews were conducted with 15 informants on different operational and decision levels at a hospital that is well known in Sweden for its work in the ICP area. Findings: Important factors for implementat...

It would be premature to conclude the change in client outcomes was related to the e-Volution-TREAT system without a randomized controlled trial with outcomes compared to a control group. Future research needs to incorporate strategies for modifying the context and engage clinicians who are in a position of influence to model change.

These results would therefore not subscribe the widely suggested importance of these factors in improving health care. However, different designs and research methods (that go beyond the cross-sectional design) may be more informative in studying relations between such complex factors and outcomes in a more meaningful way.

As a result, the decision to decline influenza vaccination was made in the context of personal health choice and/or risk of injury or illness to the nurse. Patient safety outcomes were not expressed as a factor in making the decision to decline influenza vaccination.

If nursing personnel's customer-oriented perception can increase their willingness to display organizational citizenship behaviors, it may facilitate hospital operation and enhance organizational effectiveness. Methods: A cross-sectional design using a questionnaire survey of nurses in 10 medical centers was used. Five hundred copies of the questionnaire were distributed, and 232 effective copies were retrieved, with a valid response rate of 46.4%. Structural equation modeling was performed in SPSS 11.0 and Amos 7.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) statistical software packages.

Preliminary evidence of positive relationships between monitoring and both severity of illness and therapeutic intervention was established. Control for nursing and physician practice variation is needed to rule out the influence of surveillance and performance bias on collaborative practice outcomes. Explicit standardized protocols that address the frequency of assessments and interventions along with therapeutic targets are recommended for collaborative practice guidelines.

Informal and formal assessments and screening processes are often conflated, resulting in confusion regarding the scope and nature of the process. Differences between the rhetoric of placing the patient at the heart of the assessment process and practice have been identified.

Dietary factors are linked to 4 of the 10 leading noncommunicable causes of death: cardiovascular disease, some cancers, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Accurately measuring dietary patterns has many challenges. Dietary intake measurement has traditionally relied on self-report instruments such as 24-hour recall, food record, and food frequency questionnaires to record consumption history. These methods have inherent limitations in detecting small but important changes in fruit and vegetable consumption patterns. Promising advances in technology have made more sophisticated techniques for recording dietary intake possible. Computers and Web-based programs, handheld personal digital ...

(2) Transformative learning strategies of critical reflection and discourse can facilitate insight into experiences, finding shared meanings among groups of people, and understanding/validating beliefs, attitudes, and feelings so they can more consciously guide future actions. This dimension is frequently neglected in research utilization efforts. (3) In combination with research utilization theories, Transformation Theory may be a missing link to make research utilization initiatives more effective in rendering and sustaining nursing practice change, thus enhancing client care and well-being. (4) Research and further consideration are both warranted and needed. (S...

Caution is needed because of the lack of detailed descriptions of implementation strategies, and their intensity and frequency prevents us from drawing firm conclusions. These are important considerations for any action researcher intending to implement EBP using this approach.

It seems that implementation interventions improve attitudes toward guidelines and enhance guideline use. These interventions might also be important from another point of view; they presumably improve familiarity with guidelines, which was also associated with guideline use.

Approach: The process of improving practice is examined with reference to the literature on implementation of research into practice and change management. The differences between planned and emergent approaches to change management are discussed. The concepts of resistance and attractors are explored in relation to our experiences of managing the change process in this initiative. The importance of the interpersonal interactions that were involved in facilitating the change process is highlighted.

However, findings were mixed. Overall, nurses rated their organizations the lowest in the dimensions of "promote inquiry and dialogue" and "empower people toward a collective vision." Leaders have an opportunity to offer a more supportive infrastructure through improving their organization in these two areas. RN beliefs explained 23% of EBP implementation in this study with a residual 77% yet to be identified. Implications: Acute care hospitals were perceived mid-range on learning organization dimensions by RNs, indicating an opportune area for leaders to strengthen their organizational infrastructure.

Aim: To test the factor structure of the NWI-R. Approach: A population of 864 acute hospital nurses was surveyed using the NWI-R, and a response rate of 449 (52%) was achieved. The statistical factor model was examined using SPSS 11.5 and based on guidelines of successful factor analysis. Measures of internal consistency were calculated for each of the factors to emerge from the data. Findings: The findings confirm appropriateness of conducting a factor analysis on the NWI-R.

Although many guidelines and recommendations exist, research has demonstrated that practices for preventing SSIs in operating theaters (OT) vary. Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe the current infection control practices for SSIs, formerly called surgical wound infections, in OTs, and compare these findings with evidence-based practice guidelines. Methods: In order to accomplish the purpose, a prospective, cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted. Data were collected by interviewing the charge nurses in 24 OTs of 11 hospitals in the city of Izmir, Turkey. The results were tabulated and compared with an evidence-based guideline.

Shortcomings in design and methods in the reviewed studies hamper far-reaching claims on the effectiveness of the method. Scientific grounds for assessing the effects of NIDCAP would be substantially enhanced by a sufficiently comprehensive study with extended follow-up and a clear focus on a few important outcome variables.

Measures: Sensitivity and specificity indicate the probability of a positive or negative test result, given that the patient either has or does not have, respectively, a specified disease, and are the most commonly reported measures of test efficacy. Predictive values indicate the probability of a disease, given the patient's diagnostic test result is positive or negative, and are more useful in clinical decision making. Predictive values are useful only if the prevalence of disease in the study sample is representative of the prevalence in the population of diagnostic interest. A likelihood ratio is the sensitivity of a test divided by one minus the specificity an...

These results can be used to develop translation strategies to increase the use of EBP in the school setting. Because only 22% of the variance was explained, further research is needed to identify additional variables.

Method: Educators at nursing schools in Germany were contacted by telephone to identify the most often used nursing textbooks. The recommendations of the German Expert Standard of Pressure Ulcer Prevention were compared with the content of the textbooks in a content analysis. Additionally, teachers were asked what additional material they were using to help prepare lectures.

Because the findings were not credible, they were deemed not to be clinically applicable. Therefore, a high soy diet would not necessarily be recommended.

Differences in guideline adherence were observed for wards with local or national guidelines, as well as for wards with different specialities. In accordance with clinical guidelines, the nurses seemed to replace or remove peripheral venous catheters before any severe complications arose. Implications for Practice, Research, and Management: Adherence to clinical guidelines has an impact for preventing patient complications and thus it is essential that nurses are aware of their existence. Feedback and discussions of guideline adherence or of complication rates might influence nurses' clinical decision-making.
