Introduction: Nurses are the largest group of health-care providers and their clinical decisions have an essential role in patients' clinical condition. Evidence-based nursing has been proposed as a health-care method based on the latest findings and evidence. Therefore, we aimed to determine the effect of evidence-based nursing education on dialysis nurses' clinical decision-making.
Material And Methods: This single-blind experimental study conducted in 2021 at dialysis wards of teaching hospitals affiliated to Urmia University of Medical Sciences. In this study, a total of 60 dialysis nurses were recruited using convenience sampling and allocated to two groups of intervention ( = 30) and control ( = 30). Data were collected at three time points of before, 1 week after, and 1 month after the intervention using a demographic questionnaire and the Lauri and Salantera Clinical Decision-Making Questionnaire (LSCD-MQ). Nurses in the intervention group received 12 sessions of evidence-based nursing education, while nurses in the control group received no intervention.
Results: The results showed the mean score of clinical decision-making had a significant decreasing trend over time ( < 0.001) so that it decreased significantly 1 week after the intervention (72.83 ± 4.90) compared with before the intervention (69.5 ± 67.34) in the intervention group. Moreover, participants' decision-making moved toward analytical decision-making. The results also indicated there was a significant difference between the baseline mean score of clinical decision-making and the postintervention mean scores obtained 1 week ( = 0.025) and 1 month ( = 0.001) after the intervention. However, this difference was not found to be significant in the control group ( = 1.000).
Conclusions: The study results indicate the positive effect of evidence-based education on nurses' clinical decision-making. Therefore, nurses are recommended to apply evidence-based education methods to improve their level of clinical decision-making. Health officials are also recommended to hold in-service evidence-based workshops to update nurses' knowledge.

Background: Dementia awareness and education are currently limited among healthcare workers and the general public, contributing towards the generation and propagation of stigma and discrimination against people with dementia worldwide. It is crucial to promote evidence-based anti-stigma interventions with a focus on stigma reduction.
Method: This is a randomized and controlled feasibility trial of a group intervention aimed at improving knowledge and reducing stigma related to dementia among Community Health Workers (CHWs) (Trial Registration: RBR-10xp637m).

Background: Nursing home (NH) residents with dementia commonly experience mealtime behaviors that negatively impact nutrition and function. Residents do not receive person-centered mealtime care (PCMC) due to multilevel factors one prioritized modifiable factor is lack of effective PCMC programs. This study aimed to develop a PCMC program and test its feasibility, acceptability, usefulness and preliminary efficacy.

Background: To promote caregiver health and reduce burden, the Savvy Caregiver Program (SCP), an evidence-based caregiving intervention, was adapted with a Native Hawaiian (NH) community in Hawai'i. The adaptation process occurred prior to pilot testing in two phases: 1) the preliminary adaptation by a community action board (CAB) and mentorship team and 2) pre-pilot testing and expert validation with NH adults. The preliminary adaptation, titled 'Auamo Kuleana O Nā Ma'i Poina ('Auamo Kuleana), aimed to include Hawaiian values, language, proverbs, and culturally relevant examples while maintaining the core components of the program.

Background: This study uses the data collected from the "Partnership in Implementation Science for Geriatric Mental Health (PRISM)" project, a randomized trial designed to test implementation support strategies for the delivery of the Reducing Disability in Alzheimer's Disease (RDAD) program, an evidence-based multi-component exercise and behavioral/psychosocial intervention for older adults with dementia and their family caregivers in Thailand.
Method: A total of 353 dyads of persons with dementia (PwD) and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) and their family caregivers received a 12-week RDAD intervention and were assessed at baseline, and at 3- and 6-months post-treatment. Longitudinal analyses were conducted using paired-sample t-tests to estimate the changes in each of the outcomes by treatment groups.
