Summary
This study introduces a novel approach to developing evidence-based practice guidelines by involving numerous international nurses. This method resulted in widely accepted ostomy care guidelines, enhancing best practice implementation.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Evidence-Based Practice
- Healthcare Guideline Development
Background:
- Traditional guideline development relies on small expert groups, struggling to keep pace with vast monthly medical literature.
- The rapid increase in primary care publications necessitates more efficient guideline creation and dissemination methods.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate an alternative model for developing practice guidelines that incorporates a large, international nursing workforce.
- To accelerate the acceptance and implementation of best practices in patient care.
Main Methods:
- A collaborative approach involving numerous nurses from diverse countries in the development and dissemination of guidelines.
- Focus on creating consensus-based best practice guidelines for ostomy patient treatment.
Main Results:
- Developed consensus-based best practice guidelines for ostomy care.
- Achieved high levels of acceptance and enthusiasm from healthcare practitioners across 27 countries.
Conclusions:
- Involving a large, international nursing cohort in guideline development can expedite the adoption of best practices.
- This collaborative model shows significant promise for improving patient outcomes through effective guideline implementation.
