“…This result is in accordance with other studies [23-25]. A surprising result was that the use of research-based evidence as a source in practice increased with the age of the nurse and with number of years of nursing practice.…”

BackgroundHealth authorities in several countries have decided that the health care services should be evidence-based. Recent research indicates that evidence-based practice may be more successfully implemented if the interventions overcome identified barriers.AimsThe present study aimed to examine factors influencing the implementation of evidence-based practice among nurses in a large Norwegian university hospital.MethodsCross-sectional data was collected from 407 nurses during the period November 8 to December 3, 2010, using the Norwegian version of Developing Evidence-based Practice questionnaire (DEBP). The DEBP included data on various sources of information used for support in practice, on potential barriers for evidence-based practice, and on self-reported skills on managing research-based evidence. The DEBP was translated into Norwegian in accordance with standardized guidelines for translation and cultural adaptation.ResultsNurses largely used experienced-based knowledge collected from their own observations, colleagues and other collaborators for support in practice. Evidence from research was seldom used. The greatest barriers were lack of time and lack of skills to find and manage research evidence. The nurse’s age, the number of years of nursing practice, and the number of years since obtaining the last health professional degree influenced the use of sources of knowledge and self-reported barriers. Self-reported skills in finding, reviewing and using different sources of evidence were positively associated with the use of research evidence and inversely related to barriers in use of research evidence.ConclusionSkills in evidence-based practice seem to reduce barriers to using research evidence and to increase use of research evidence in clinical practice.

“…Clinicians' participation in research does not occur in isolation and requires organizations to provide personnel and financial support and resources such as computers and adequate space [21]. The nursing executive at JHC is committed to providing staff with the required skills, knowledge, and resources to enable them to conduct research and evidence-based practice within the hospital.…”

This paper reports on an evaluation of a Clinical Scholar Program initiated at a hospital in Western Australia. The aim of the program was to build the capacity of nurses and midwives to conduct research and evidence-based practice within the hospital. The program was based on a previous program and consisted of six teaching days and four hours per month release for proposal preparation. At the end of the program participants were asked to complete a short anonymous questionnaire. The answers were analysed using standard processes of qualitative analysis. Themes emerging from the data included program strengths, individual gains, ability to conduct research, and areas for improvement. The findings highlighted that, while the participants considered that they were more knowledgeable and confident to conduct research, they still required support. The Clinical Scholar Program has provided a way to increase the capacity of clinicians to participate in research activities.

“…Å legge til rette for undervisning i korleis ein kan søke etter og kritisk vurdere forskingsbasert kunnskap kan i tillegg vere eit verkemiddel. Dette kan medføre at helsearbeidarar i større grad vil nytte seg av vitskapelege databasar og forskingsbasert kunnskap (31).…”

Background:The healthcare system in Norway has a goal of basing services on research-based knowledge. Studies indicate that recommended and clinical practice frequently deviate. Little is known about the quality of follow-up of people with diabetes in nursing homes in Norway, but international studies show a great variation in the quality of diabetes care for residents of institutions.Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the procedures for monitoring glycaemic control among nursing-home residents with diabetes in Norway were in accordance with the recommendations of evidence-based guidelines. Methods:We reviewed the electronic records of all residents with diabetes at three nursing homes in Bergen using clinical audit as the method. We analyzed the findings and considered them based on the recommendations of researchbased guidelines.Results: Fifty residents (14 %) met the requirements for participating. Of these, two (4 %) had individual goals for HbA1c documented in their medical records, nine residents (18 %) had individual procedures for measuring blood glucose and 16 residents (37 %) had HbA1c measured at least once in six months as recommended by research-based guidelines. Conclusion:The audit showed a discrepancy between current practice and recommendations of research-based guidelines regarding monitoring of blood glucose among the residents with diabetes at three nursing homes. This may indicate a need to improve the quality of diabetes follow-up by nursing homes in Norway.
