Summary
Nurses face significant obstacles in implementing evidence-based clinical practice (EBCP). Key barriers include professional resistance, social reluctance, and organizational cultures that impede innovation in nursing care.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Research
- Clinical Practice Implementation
- Healthcare Innovation
Context:
- Qualitative study involving 11 nurses from Spanish public hospitals and community centers.
- Semi-structured interviews conducted between 2010-2011.
- Content analysis based on Miles and Huberman's methodology.
Purpose:
- To identify and analyze the obstacles perceived by nurses in adopting evidence-based clinical practice (EBCP).
Summary:
- Perceived obstacles were categorized into three main areas: professional (routine, attitudes, lack of training), social (reluctance from colleagues, patients, families), and organizational (cultures resistant to innovation).
- Findings indicate persistent factors hindering the integration of research into clinical nursing.
- Study highlights the need for cultural shifts in healthcare organizations and professional motivation.
Impact:
- Addresses critical barriers to evidence-based practice adoption in nursing.
- Informs strategies for healthcare organizations to foster innovation and improve patient care.
- Emphasizes the importance of overcoming resistance to research utilization in clinical settings.

2.0K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

01:18The Scientific Method in Nursing Process
12.1K
The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be...

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

01:08Role of Communication in the Nursing Process III: Evaluation and Documentation
2.0K
A successful patient outcome depends mainly on the evaluation stage of the nursing process. Evaluation determines effectiveness by reviewing what was done previously after the completion of nursing interventions. Every time a healthcare professional steps in or administers treatment, they must reassess or evaluate the action to ensure the intended result. During the evaluation phase, there are three probable patient outcomes:

01:29Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions
3.4K
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:
