Ebp Implementation

Background: Evidence-based practice (EBP) is widely recognised as being relevant in improving nursing care. However, its implementation in nursing practice has been difficult for nurses, particularly in the developing countries. Existing evidence suggests that bureaucracy in organisational governance impacts implementation processes, however, the nature of this effect is not yet explored. Objective: The study examined experiences of nursing staff implementing EBP in a bureaucratic acute care setting in Nigeria.Methods: A qualitative exploratory design was adopted. A purposive sample of 11 ward managers and 12 staff nurses from a large acute care setting in Nigeria participated in the in-depth, face-to-face interviews. Data was analysed using the thematic analysis approach.Results: Four key themes emerged: (1) top down managerial approach; (2) nurse and nurse manager relations; (3) managerial prerogatives; (4) managerial autonomy.Conclusions and implications for practice: The Nigerian bureaucracy limits professional and managerial autonomy that nurses require in driving EBP implementation. Nurse Managers require greater leadership visibility and structural empowerment to create enabling environment for EBP implementation in nursing.

The new edition of Care of the Acutely Ill Adult enables nursing staff to develop an in-depth understanding of the knowledge required to care for patients whose condition is deteriorating. The book emphasizes the importance of systematic assessment, interpretation of clinical signs of deterioration, and the need to escalate the patient in a timely manner. Current evidence-based practice and up-to-date guidelines are included in each systems-based chapter and case studies are used throughout the book to enable nurses to apply knowledge to patient scenarios. In recognition of the dynamic nature of acute care delivery, new chapters have been included that focus on pain management and planning for care when recovery is unlikely. This book remains an essential purchase for any nurse working in an acute care setting.
