Practice nurses’ intentions to use clinical guidelines

Abstract

Future trials of interventions to increase practice nurses' adherence to clinical guidelines could attempt to address the elements identified in this study as important factors. Further studies are required to examine the utility of the TPB in predicting practice nurses' behaviour.

Falling on stony ground? A qualitative study of implementation of clinical guidelines’ prescribing recommendations in primary care

“…The TPB is a psychological elaboration of the behaviours of rational actors. Limited applications had suggested that the TPB was useful in understanding provider behaviour [57]. A preliminary framework was developed and then discussed in a series of iterative meetings between the researchers.…”

“…The interviewees valued practice nurses' roles in guideline implementation while running mini-clinics for chronic diseases [47,57]. Nurses informed GPs of new guidelines.…”

The unique effects of general and specific support in health care technology

“…These includeV but are not limited toVthe consistency of attitudes and behavior toward organ donation (Siegel, Navarro, Tan, & Hyde, 2014), adherence to clinical guidelines (Kortteisto, Kaila, Komulainen, Mäntyranta, & Rissanen, 2010;Puffer & Rashidian, 2004), health literacy (Pleasant, McKinney, & Rikard, 2011), and medication adherence (Sutton, 2011). As one example, a study with intensive care nurses showed that, when nurses' knowledge and attitudes related to bowel management for critically ill patients were improved, nurses were more likely to perform the bowel management practices dictated by the protocol (Knowles et al, 2015).…”

Lebanese medical students’ intention to deliver smoking cessation advice

“…To be consistent with previous research into how the TPB predicts healthcare provider behavior, attitude was measured using two scales: attitude toward the behavior and behavioral beliefs [14,11]. The outcome in this analysis was the intention to deliver advice to quit cigarette smoking in clinical rotations.…”
