Scientific Retreat on Implementation Science Improving Health through Evidence-based Practice & Policy

چکیده
Hospitalized adult patients are at increased risk for adverse outcomes, particularly when undergoing invasive procedures such as indwelling urinary catheterization. Nurses are essential in providing high quality, cost-effective, and safe health care. This mixed methods pilot study identified factors associated with nurses' adoption of an evidence-based practice to reduce the duration of catheterization and potential for catheter-associated urinary tract infections in hospitalized adults. Objectives: 1. Comprehend the concepts and principles associated with an evidence-based practice to reduce duration of catheterization in hospitalized patients. 2. Describe the basic factors associated with nurses' adoption of an evidence-based practice.
