National Nursing Organizations II

Nursing organizations play a vital role in representing nurses working in specialized clinical settings, such as the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN).
The AACN emphasizes a healthy work environment through six standards to achieve an optimal patient outcome. The standards are appropriate staffing, meaningful recognition, collaboration, authentic leadership, effective communication, and decision-making. In addition, AACN provides certification programs, webinars, journals, and...
Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
Clinical Trials: Overview01:11

Clinical Trials: Overview

Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...
Clinical Trials01:16

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are prospective experimental studies conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of treatments, drugs, diet methods, and medical devices. Using statistics in clinical trials enables researchers to derive reasonable and accurate conclusions from the collected data, allowing them to make wise decisions in uncertain situations. In medical research, statistical methods are crucial for preventing errors and bias.
There are four phases in a clinical trial. A phase one...
International Nursing Organizations I01:23

International Nursing Organizations I

International Nursing Organization (ICN) is a global union of national nurses' organizations. Individual nurses can be a part of ICN through member organizations. Each member organization strives to ensure quality nursing care, sound health policies, the advancement of nursing knowledge, respect for the profession, and a satisfied and competent nursing workforce.
ICN member organizations work to advance the field of nursing and healthcare via policies, partnerships, lobbying, professional...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Implementation Science
  • Organizational Psychology

Background:

  • Healthcare organizations face challenges in implementing evidence-based practices (EBPs).
  • Understanding the organizational context is crucial for successful EBP adoption.
  • A conceptual model was developed to enhance organizational capacity for EBP facilitation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate an organizational model designed to strengthen healthcare organizations' ability to facilitate EBPs.
  • To assess the impact of the organizational model on hand-hygiene compliance.
  • To identify factors influencing adherence to the organizational model.

Main Methods:

  • A 3-year mixed-methods longitudinal comparative case study was conducted.
  • Seven medical centers within the Department of Veterans Affairs participated.
  • Hand-hygiene compliance was the target evidence-based practice, with measures including fidelity ratings, observed compliance, and interviews.

Main Results:

  • Higher fidelity to the organizational model correlated with increased hand-hygiene compliance.
  • Sites with high model fidelity demonstrated larger improvements in compliance.
  • Factors such as urgency to improve, organizational environment, and improvement climate influenced adherence.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing EBPs, especially those spanning multiple care processes, is complex and prone to failure.
  • The study refined the understanding of the organizational model's components and contextual factors.
  • Findings offer practical insights for future EBP implementation efforts and contribute to implementation science theory.
