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.
