In the 21st Century, evidence-based nursing (EBN) may provide a mechanism by which nurses can manage the explosion in published information in the literature, introduce new techniques, effectively control healthcare costs, and increase attention on nursing quality and health outcomes. The objective of this paper is to share the experience implementing evidence-based nursing. We had applied strategies to implement evidence-based nursing care in our hospital since 2002. Over a more than three-year period (January 2002 to October 2005), we held 46 basic course sessions (around 1,840 attendees) and 58 advanced course sessions (around 500 attendees). There are 445 clinical questions with answered reports, Most questions related to foley care, central vein care and peripheral intravenous injection. Our nursing department revised three guidelines on nursing care skills related to suction and foley and nasal-gastric feeding to meet local conditions. Based on our subjective experience, promotion and implementation of EBN is feasible and helpful to update knowledge and decrease variance in clinical nursing care. However, further outcome research is needed in the future in order to obtain more objective evidence.

Background: Adolescents (10-19 years old) have poor outcomes across the prevention-to-treatment HIV care continuum, leading to significant mortality and morbidity. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of interventions that documented HIV outcomes among adolescents in HIV high-burden countries.
Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library for studies published between January 2015 and September 2024, assessing at least one HIV outcome along the prevention-to-care cascade, including PrEP uptake, HIV testing, awareness of HIV infections, ARV adherence, retention, and virological suppression.
Early introduction of oral feeding and its impact on full oral feeding and discharge in preterm infants: a systematic review protocol.
JBI Evid Synth
January 2025
Department of Health Sciences, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan.
Objective: This review aims to examine the impact of early introduction of oral feeding, compared with standard care, on the duration of achieving full oral feeding, postmenstrual ages at full oral feeding and discharge, and weight gain in preterm infants.
Introduction: Because of their immature oral function, preterm infants are prone to feeding difficulties during hospitalization and after hospital discharge. Early introduction of oral feeding helps infants to coordinate sucking, swallowing, and respiration, thereby improving their oral feeding skills.
