Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Healthcare Research
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Evidence-based practice (EBP) integration is vital for quality patient care.
  • Assessing nurses' current EBP knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors is essential for targeted interventions.
  • Understanding factors influencing EBP adoption can optimize healthcare delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of Italian nurses concerning evidence-based practice (EBP).
  • To identify factors associated with higher EBP knowledge and perceived importance of guidelines.
  • To determine predictors of practice modification based on EBP principles.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was administered to 449 nurses in Italy.
  • A self-administered questionnaire assessed knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to EBP.
  • Statistical analysis identified factors correlating with EBP knowledge, guideline importance, and practice changes.

Main Results:

  • Higher EBP knowledge was linked to not working in medical/surgical wards, valuing intervention efficacy, combining clinical experience with evidence, recent EBP courses, and information from courses/journals.
  • Perceived importance of guidelines was higher among nurses in medical wards, those finding guidelines useful, valuing intervention efficacy, combining experience with evidence, and engaging with EBP education.
  • Nurses attending EBP courses and regularly reading journals/guidelines were more likely to have modified their practice.

Conclusions:

  • Continuing education programs are recommended to improve nurses' EBP knowledge and practice in Italy.
  • Targeted educational initiatives addressing specific barriers and facilitators are needed.
  • Further research with higher response rates is warranted to confirm these findings.
