Objective To define the attributes and priorities of evidence-based nursing curriculum needs of nursing students, so as to provide operational reference for the design and development of evidence-based nursing course in the future. Methods Questionnaire was designed based on Kano model, and convenient sampling method was adopted to investigate the nursing students who had received training or had experience in evidence-based nursing from September to November 2020. According to the Kano model attribute classification method, the need attribute of evidence-based nursing curriculum was defined. Results A total of 303 nursing students were investigated. Kano model analysis showed that 11 of the needs for evidence-based nursing courses were one-dimensional quality, which belonged to the dimension of teaching resources and teaching content, and 5 were indifference quality, which belonged to the course assessment dimension. The importance-satisfaction matrix showed that the need of evidence-based nursing curriculum was concentrated in the advantage area and minor excepting improvement area. Conclusions In the future curriculum design, evidence-based nursing teachers need to continue to maintain the demand items in the advantage area and constantly improve and perfect them. They also need to pay more attention to the demand items in the minor excepting improvement area. Combined with the current problems in evidence-based nursing practice and the evidence-based needs of students, teachers need to further put forward suggestions on evidence-based nursing curriculum.
Objective To summarize the best evidence for discharge planning of elderly patients with hip fracture. Methods UpToDate, BMJ Best Practice, BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine, Guidelines International Network, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, Web of Science, PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane Library, VIP data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, SinoMed, Wanfang were searched by computer for literature about discharge planning of elderly patients with hip fracture. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the databases to July 31, 2023. The quality of the included literature was evaluated by 2 researchers with evidence-based training. Results A total of 15 articles were included, including 1 clinical decision, 3 guidelines, 3 expert consensuses, 4 evidence summaries, and 4 systematic reviews, covering 5 aspects of implementers and participants of discharge services, pre-discharge preparation during hospitalization, pre-discharge assessment, discharge guidance, and post-discharge follow-up. A total of 22 best evidences of discharge planning of elderly patients with hip fracture were extracted, including 15 A-level recommendations and 7 B-level recommendations. Conclusions There are many aspects involved in the discharge planning of elderly patients with hip fracture. In future clinical practice, healthcare professionals should develop individualized plans based on the actual conditions of each patient, aiming to meet their specific discharge needs. This approach can help reduce adverse outcomes such as recurrent fractures and readmission rates, while promoting better physical and mental recovery and facilitating the patient’s return to society.
Objective To search for, assess, and summarize the best evidence for antimicrobial allergy assessment in hospitalized patients, so as to provide an evidence-based basis for clinical nursing practice. Methods UpToDate, BMJ Best Practice, National Guideline Clearinghouse, Guidelines International Network, Yimaitong, JBI Evidence Synthesis, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, CQVIP, SinoMed, and related association websites were searched by computer for literature about clinical decisions, guidelines, expert consensuses, evidence summaries, systematic reviews and meta-analyses related to antimicrobial allergy assessment in hospitalized patients. The search time limit was from the establishment of the databases to September 2024. Two researchers trained in evidence-based practice screened the literature and evaluated the quality independently. Finally, the evidence-based research group extracted and integrated the evidence after discussion. Results Totally 8 articles were involved, including 6 guidelines and 2 systematic reviews. Finally, 25 pieces of best evidence were obtained across 6 aspects, including the importance of antimicrobial allergy assessment, the subjects of allergy assessment, the personnel conducting allergy assessment, the content of allergy assessment, the recording of allergy history, and assessment tips. Conclusion When applying and transforming evidence, medical staff should fully consider the actual clinical situation and explore the evaluation scheme of antimicrobial allergy history of hospitalized patients with local characteristics, to improve the accuracy of evaluation of antimicrobial allergy history of hospitalized patients, so as to strengthen the safety management of drug use and improve the level of rational drug use.
Objective To summarize the best evidence for prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in lower limbs of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), and provide a basis for medical staff to develop evidence-based prevention and management measures for DVT in the lower limbs of patients with SCI. Methods UpToDate, BMJ Best Practice, Guidelines International Network, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario, National Guideline Clearinghouse, Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, New Zealand Guidelines Group, JBI evidence-based healthcare center database, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Medlive, China guidelines network, SinoMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang were systematically searched. Evidence related to the prevention of DVT in lower limbs of patients with SCI has been collected. The search period was from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2024, and the literature was screened, quality evaluated, evidence extracted, and summarized. Results Finally, 22 articles were included, including 3 guidelines, 2 clinical decision-making articles, 4 best practices articles, 7 evidence summaries, 4 expert consensus articles, and 2 systematic reviews. A total of 32 pieces of evidence were ultimately formed in six aspects of risk assessment, diagnosis and screening, prevention principle, drug prevention, mechanical prevention, and health education. Conclusions There is a lot of evidence involved in the prevention of DVT in lower limbs of patients with SCI. In the clinical implementation process, medical staff can carefully choose prevention plans based on the patients’ clinical condition to reduce the incidence of DVT in patients with SCI during hospitalization.
Objective To retrieve and summarize the best evidence for fall prevention after total hip arthroplasty in elderly patients. Methods BMJ Best Practice, UpToDate, JBI evidence-based healthcare center database, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, International Collaboration of Orthopaedic Nurisng website, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons website, European Society for Trauma and Emergency Surgery website, Medlive, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, Chongqing VIP, and SinoMed were systematically searched. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the databases to June 30, 2024. The quality of literature was evaluated, and evidence was extracted, evaluated, and summarized. Results A total of 12 articles were included, including 4 guidelines, 2 randomized controlled trials, 2 cohort studies, and 4 expert consensus studies. A total of 18 pieces of evidence were extracted, including 13 A-level recommendations and 5 B-level recommendations. The evidence covers six major themes of risk factors, assessment, multidisciplinary team support, health education, medication management, safety environment, and assistive devices. Conclusions The fall prevention after total hip arthroplasty in elderly patients involves multiple factors, and the fall prevention should be based on multidisciplinary team cooperation, achieving linkage between the hospital and the family to jointly ensure patient safety. In the future, it is recommended to combine individual patient differences with actual clinical scenarios when applying evidence.
