Background: Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are fundamental to evidence-based medicine, but their real-world impact on clinical practice often remains unmonitored. Leveraging large-scale real-world data can enable systematic monitoring of RCT effects. We aimed to develop a reproducible framework using real-world data to assess how major RCTs influence medical practice, using two pivotal surgical RCTs in gynaecologic oncology as an example-the LACC (Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer) and LION (Lymphadenectomy in Ovarian Neoplasms) trials.

Purpose: Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are tasked with integrating the principles of evidence-based practice (EBP) to provide effective and efficient assessment and intervention services that best support clients and their families. As new research, technologies, and perspectives emerge, SLPs are required to adapt their clinical practices to meet these changes while maintaining high-quality evidence-based services. Through an illustrative case study, we aim to demonstrate the process of applying EBP principles - including research evidence, client and family perspectives, and clinical expertise - to a complexity-based speech sound intervention delivered via telepractice.

Nurses' self-efficacy and outcome expectancy in evidence-based practice: Translation, construct validity and internal consistency of the Dutch scales.

Int J Nurs Stud Adv

June 2025

Radboud Institute for Health Sciences, Scientific Center for Quality of Healthcare (IQ Health), Radboud University Medical Center, Kapittelweg 54, 6525 EP Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

Background: Evidence-based practice (EBP) is crucial for appropriate, effective, and affordable care. Despite EBP education, barriers like low self-efficacy and outcome expectancy limit nurses' engagement in EBP. Reliable scales are essential to evaluate interventions aimed at improving self-efficacy and outcome expectancy in EBP.
