Background:
Comparative effectiveness research (CER) provides evidence regarding which treatment may be most effective; however, there is a need to ensure CER findings are implemented in clinical practice. As such, CER implementation training was provided to advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs).
Purpose:
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the impact of implementation training on self-efficacy and intention to implement CER findings among APRNs.
Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used.
Results:
A total of 18 APRNs participated between 2 training sessions. Overall, participants were satisfied with the training. Most (91%) rated their self-efficacy to implement CER findings as at least fair, and 82% intended to use CER findings in practice.
Conclusion:
It is imperative that nursing leaders be provided implementation training that promotes innovation in health care delivery, thereby decreasing the research-to-practice gap.
