Background: Implementation strategies targeting individual healthcare professionals and teams, such as audit and feedback, educational meetings, opinion leaders, and reminders, have demonstrated potential in promoting evidence-based nursing practice. This systematic review examined the effects of the 19 Cochrane Effective Practice and Organization Care (EPOC) healthcare professional-level implementation strategies on nursing practice and patient outcomes.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted following the Cochrane Handbook, with six databases searched up to February 2023 for randomized studies and non-randomized controlled studies evaluating the effects of EPOC implementation strategies on nursing practice.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how undergraduate nursing students’ clinical decision-making regarding post-procedural bleeding changes from their first year to their final year of education.
- - Students were analyzed through their responses to scenarios involving patients with signs of bleeding, revealing a focus on bleeding and instability but less attention to other potential complications.
- - Findings suggest that as students progress in their education, they develop improved assessment skills related to patient instability and change their preferred actions for managing bleeding scenarios.
Article Synopsis
- - The Learning-by-Concordance tool, designed by qualified educators, aims to enhance reasoning skills in uncertain contexts, but there's limited information on educators' experiences using it
- - This study investigates the beliefs and experiences of educators involved in the tool's design through qualitative research, gathering insights from four dialogue groups of 14 participants
- - Findings reveal that educators feel discomfort despite their expertise, highlighting themes of needing peer reassurance, feeling like impostors, and worries about the quality of instructional materials
Questions persist regarding the evaluation of cognitive processes related to clinical reasoning when resolving situations in a learning by concordance tool. This Delphi technique study aimed to validate a clinical reasoning assessment rubric based on script theory. Seventeen experts participated in the study.
