“…For example, research has shown that the evidence-based practice progress in nursing profession is not well embraced in china [24]. It is better developed and has a longer history in the medical disciplines, especially for physicians and other health technicians who are deployed at tertiary hospitals [25]. Consequently, most Chinese people prefer to visit tertiary hospitals due to better medical technology and perceived technical quality of the provider [26].…”

Abstract:Background: Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is one of the nursing professional roles that can lead them to provide the best and more effective quality patient care. However, little studies are available across china on registered nurses' attitude, skills and utilization of knowledge source for implementation of evidence based practice. Due to this the extent to which evidence based practice being utilized and implemented in nursing practice is still in its infancy across China. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the attitude, skills and source of knowledge on implementation of EBP among registered nurses working at selected teaching hospitals. Method: A descriptive institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted to assess nurses' attitude, skills and utilization of knowledge source for implementation of EBP. A total of 366 RN were participated in filling self-administered questionnaire. The descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS version 20. The cut point for level of statistical significance was set at < 0.05 and all tests were 2-sided. Result: Overall, registered nurses who were participated in this study had a positive attitudes towards utilization of evidence based practice (M = 3.53, SD = 0.97). However, the level of skill in performing different EBP activities (M = 2.82 SD = 1.34) and the use of knowledge source to support daily care practice (M = 3.01, SD = 0.98) were found to be low. Similarly, participants indicated that they use more human and printed resources than electronic resources for supporting their practice (mean = 3.69, SD = 1.01; mean = 2.88, SD = 0.80; and mean = 2.57, SD = 1.05) respectively. Conclusion: It is recommended that organizational and nursing educational support were needed to improve this gap through providing training, creating awareness, and enhancing nurses' abilities for utilization and implementation of evidence based practice. Additionally, it is recommended that further research is needed to identify the influence of individual and organizational factors on implementation of evidence based nursing practice.

“…These traditional database systems are not well suitable to deal with statistical techniques and quick decisions. Moreover, it makes so redundant and surplus works [13]. In this paper, we focus to find a feasible solution for nurse scheduling system considering mentioned constraints and regulations based on data warehouse with online analytical processing (OLAP) techniques.…”

Current Nurse scheduling process has many challenges like work plan creation and working hour allocation for employees at specific planning horizon. Hospitals in most of the developing countries use manual methods to create nurse scheduling systems. With current existing manual nurse scheduling systems, most of the hospitals especially in developing countries don't have efficient work plan allocation. Moreover, patients need nursing care throughout the day. Hence, current manual nurse scheduling approach with simple statistical functions is not efficient especially for highly populated countries. Our proposed automated nurse scheduling approach has carried out in two stages. Firstly, we propose an efficient data warehouse system based on online analytical method for hospital information system. Subsequently, Enhanced Greedy Optimization algorithm is implemented to optimize the nurse roster and compared with other optimization algorithms (Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithm). Experimental results (MYSQL, JAVA, OLAP) with proposed optimization algorithm outperforms compared with existing optimization solutions.

“…Although many efforts have been made to standardize medical terms, currently there is no standard dataset for patterns and manifestations. In general, datasets have been generated by manual insertion of terms collected from literature (Ferreira, 2008;Ferreira, 2009, Ferreira, 2011 or by data mining algorithms (refer to Lukman et al, 2007 for a revision on mining methods applied to Chinese medicine; Zhou et al, 2010). Patterns on database must be mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive (Harding, 1996), i.e., for each manifestation there is at least one possible pattern, and there is no pattern without manifestations.…”
