Facilitating an Evidence-Based Quality Improvement Learning Culture in Nursing Teams Through Coaching and Identification of Key Influencing Factors: An Action Research Approach.

Aims: To explore how coaching can facilitate the development of an Evidence-Based Quality Improvement (EBQI) learning culture within nursing teams in hospital and community care settings. This study also explores the specific contextual factors that influence effective outcomes.

Design: Action research.

Which actions contribute to the development of an interprofessional learning and working culture in nursing homes? A realist action study.

Objective: Insights about what actions contributed to the development of an interprofessional learning and working culture were lacking for nursing homes. This study aimed to provide insight into the context and actions that trigger mechanisms for the development of an interprofessional learning and working culture in nursing homes.

Study Design: Realist evaluation action research was conducted from 2019 to 2023.

What is needed for nurses to work with evidence-based practice? A qualitative study.

Background: Transformation of healthcare is necessary to ensure patients receive high-quality care. Working with the evidence-based practice (EBP) principles enables nurses to make this shift. Although working according to these principles is becoming more common, nurses base their actions too much on traditions and intuition.

What can nurses learn from patient's needs and wishes when developing an evidence-based quality improvement learning culture? A qualitative study.

Background: Patient participation is fundamental in nursing care and has yielded benefits for patient outcomes. However, despite their compassionate care approach, nurses do not always incorporate patients' needs and wish into evidence-based practice, quality improvement or learning activities. Therefore, a shift to continuous quality improvement based on evidence-based practice is necessary to enhance the quality of care.

A case vignette study to refine the target group of an intermediate care model: the Acute Geriatric Community Hospital.

Purpose: To refine the admission criteria of the Acute Geriatric Community Hospital (AGCH) by defining its target group boundaries with (geriatric) hospital care and other bed-based intermediate care models in the Netherlands.

Methods: A qualitative study consisting of a three-phase refinement procedure with case vignettes. Physicians, medical specialists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants in hospitals (n = 10) or intermediate care facilities (n = 10) in the Netherlands participated.
