Antenatal and intrapartum care for women with gestational diabetes: a best practice implementation project.

Objectives: This project aimed to improve the quality of antenatal and intrapartum care for women with gestational diabetes (GD) by increasing nursing and midwifery care compliance with best practice recommendations.

Introduction: GD is one of the most common diseases that can lead to several important maternal and fetal complications.

Methods: This project was based on JBI's evidence implementation approach and included a baseline audit, the implementation of strategies, and a follow-up audit.

Patient-centered health care planning in acute inpatient mental health settings: a best practice implementation project.

Objectives: The current project aimed to improve the quality of health care by promoting evidence-based practice (EBP) regarding mental health care planning (MHCP) for adult inpatients.

Introduction: The implementation of the best evidence in the process of developing and documenting nursing care plans is currently an important legal requirement that contributes to increasing the quality of care.

Methods: This implementation project was based on the JBI evidence implementation approach and included a baseline audit of seven criteria, implementation of strategies, and a follow-up audit.

Effective communication and patient safety among nurses in perioperative settings: a best practice implementation project.

Objectives: The aim of this implementation project was to promote evidence-based best practice regarding effective communication and patient safety amongst nurses in perioperative settings.

Introduction: One of the main causes of surgical errors is inadequate communication. To address this issue, published research has shown that effective communication among healthcare professionals (HCPs) within and between all phases of perioperative care, as well as the proper transfer of all patient information at all transition points, are essential for ensuring patient safety and quality of care.

Hand hygiene improvement of individual healthcare workers: results of the multicentre PROHIBIT study.

Background: Traditionally, hand hygiene (HH) interventions do not identify the observed healthcare workers (HWCs) and therefore, reflect HH compliance only at population level. Intensive care units (ICUs) in seven European hospitals participating in the "Prevention of Hospital Infections by Intervention and Training" (PROHIBIT) study provided individual HH compliance levels. We analysed these to understand the determinants and dynamics of individual change in relation to the overall intervention effect.

Hand hygiene among nurses in pediatric blood and marrow transplantation setting: a best practice implementation project.

Objectives: The aim of this project was to promote evidence-based best practice regarding hand hygiene among nurses in a pediatric blood and marrow transplantation (BMT) setting.

Introduction: Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) represent important complications of healthcare with potentially major impact on patient outcomes. Most HAI are transmitted through the hands of healthcare professionals (HCP) and therefore hand hygiene is the simplest, most effective and proven method for preventing HAI.

Effectiveness of pain management educational interventions on nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding postoperative pain management: a systematic review protocol.
