  • Knowledge Management
  • Clinical Practice

Background:

  • Effective knowledge transfer is crucial for evidence-based nursing practice.
  • Understanding how nurses integrate new knowledge informs professional development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore and describe the processes staff nurses use to select and transfer new knowledge into clinical practice.
  • To identify how nurses utilize new information in their daily work.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive exploratory study design was employed.
  • Eleven experienced staff nurses provided 29 examples of knowledge utilization in clinical situations.

  • Nurses primarily use factual knowledge and instrumental utilization, often based on similarity comparison.
  • New knowledge sources are typically informal and unit-specific.
  • No variations in utilization processes were observed across different units.

    • Conclusions:

    • Staff nurses are active agents in knowledge utilization, selecting and applying information independently.
    • Implications suggest strengthening unit-based resources and fostering idea exchange for knowledge integration.
    • Innovative methods for introducing and discussing new knowledge are recommended for staff development.
