Nurses' Perceptions of Interventions for the Management of Patient-Oriented Outcomes: A Key Factor for Evidence-Based Practice.
Various barriers and facilitators to implementing evidence-based interventions in practice have been acknowledged. Nurses' perspectives on these interventions were overlooked as potential factors that influence their uptake in practice. The purpose of this study was to explore nurses' perception of evidence-based interventions targeting patient-oriented outcomes. ⋯ This study's findings highlight the importance of examining nurses' perceptions of evidence-based interventions as an initial step toward promoting the adoption of interventions in practice. Effective interventions that are considered of limited relevance are unlikely to be implemented in practice. Nurses' perceptions can guide the design or selection of dissemination strategies to clarify any misconception about the effectiveness and risk of evidence-based interventions.
