Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Healthcare Management
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Nurses are crucial for implementing best practices in healthcare.
  • The specific roles nurses undertake in practice change require further investigation.
  • A systematic review was lacking to summarize evidence on nurses' roles in implementing best practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and summarize the best available evidence on the roles nurses play in changing practice through the implementation of best practices.
  • To identify and describe the key functions nurses perform during best practice implementation.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review methodology was employed.
  • Searches were conducted in multiple databases (Scopus, EBSCOhost, PubMed, ScienceDirect) for English-language studies.
  • Studies published between January 2013 and June 2021, involving best practice implementation in clinical settings, were included.

Main Results:

  • The review included 27 studies after screening 1343 citations.
  • Five distinct and interrelated roles for nurses were identified: leadership, education and training, collaboration, communication and feedback, and development and tailoring of best practices.
  • These roles are essential for successful implementation of best practices.

Conclusions:

  • Nurses fulfill five critical, interconnected roles in driving practice change through best practice implementation.
  • Understanding these roles can inform nursing research, enhance practice change initiatives, and ultimately improve health outcomes.
  • The findings highlight the multifaceted contribution of nurses to evidence-based healthcare delivery.
