Introduction: The lack of a consistent and effective assessment tool for older adults with dementia in home care in Taiwan, and the inability of home care nurses to provide pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain management, may affect the quality of life of patients with dementia.
Objectives: The aim of this project was to promote evidence-based practices for pain assessment and management of patients with dementia living in the community.
Methods: The project followed the JBI Evidence-based Healthcare Model and the seven-phase JBI Evidence Implementation Framework. Eight audit criteria were used, representing best practice recommendations. Through a Getting Research into Practice (GRiP) analysis, we identified three barriers to changing practice and implemented improvement strategies. A follow-up audit was conducted to measure changes in compliance.
Results: This project was conducted in five home care institutions. Fourteen home care nurses and 109 patients with dementia participated in the project. The follow-up audit showed that compliance rates had improved significantly. Specifically, the compliance rate increased from 14.29%, 1.83%, 1.83% to 100% for Criteria 1-3, respectively. For Criteria 4-8, compliance increased from 0% to 100%. In addition, the average score of the home care nurses' perceptions of pain care for patients with dementia increased from 44.29 points before the intervention to 82.86 points, and all 14 home care nurses achieved a score of 100 points in the Objective Structured Clinical Examination scenario-based exercises, which was a good learning outcome.
Conclusions: Leadership, knowledge-sharing, learning-by-doing teaching strategies, and open communication were key factors in the successful implementation of this study.

Objectives: The objective of this best practice implementation project was to improve dieticians' professional practice and dietary care through the use of counseling strategies.
Introduction: Improving the design and implementation of evidence-based practice depends on successful behavior change interventions. This requires an appropriate method for designing the interventions and then analyzing the targeted behavior. Behavior change techniques (BCTs) have been demonstrated to improve the patient-dietitian relationship and patient treatment outcomes.
Methods: This evidence-based quality improvement project used the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework to identify gaps in clinical practice and barriers to changing practice. We recruited 20 dietitians and conducted a baseline audit to determine their level of knowledge of BCTs, the extent to which they applied BCTs in their practice, and barriers to using BCTs. To address the identified barriers, a 5-hour training session was conducted by a dietitian with psychological training. A follow-up audit was then conducted to measure improvements in compliance with best practice.
Results: The baseline audit revealed that 80% of participants used some of the targeted counseling strategies. The most common barriers were lack of guidance on the use of BCTs or insufficient knowledge of BCTs. The follow-up audit revealed that 93% of participants used some counseling strategies, representing a 13% improvement from baseline.
Conclusions: Applying BCTs is a challenge in dietary practice. The results indicate that education about these techniques is needed. As the next step, we suggest disseminating the relevant recommendations among dietitians in Poland and providing education about the use of these methods.

Introduction: Advance care planning (ACP) ensures that patients receive medical care aligned with their values, goals, and preferences, especially regarding end-of-life decisions in serious chronic illnesses.
Objective: This project aimed to introduce and promote evidence-based ACP in oncology and palliative care at a midsized hospital near Berlin, Germany, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This project was guided by the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework and used a mixed methods audit cycle. A baseline audit was conducted using qualitative interviews and workshops with representatives from all the health care disciplines involved in oncology and palliative care at the hospital. The findings were compared with eight best practice recommendations. Targeted strategies aimed at the key stakeholders involved in ACP practice were then implemented. Finally, a semi-quantitative questionnaire was used in a follow-up audit with the same participants as in the baseline audit.
Results: The baseline audit revealed a high level of familiarity with the concept of ACP. However, there was a lack of a uniformly accepted definition and understanding of ACP among the health care professionals, leading to a lack of coordination in task distribution. The follow-up audit revealed improvements with regard to education and training in ACP (Criterion 1: 50% to 100%) and organizational support to facilitate ACP conversations (Criterion 3: 87.5% to 100%). Other audit criteria compliance rates remained unchanged.
Conclusion: Clinical education and team-based process analysis can facilitate ACP implementation across disciplines in oncology and palliative care facilities. However, the project did not succeed in implementing lasting changes in clinical processes and best practice ACP due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Such an endeavor would demand considerable resources and time, both of which were constrained during the pandemic.

Introduction: Audit and feedback (A&F) is a systematic intervention that can be used to improve the quality of health care. The EASY-NET Network Project proposes an innovative A&F model.
Aim: This study aimed to describe the newly proposed A&F model. An analysis was conducted, examining the participants' attitudes and their individual and interpersonal mechanisms to understand how they influence the work context and vice versa.
Methods: Two A&F models were compared, involving emergency and rehabilitation health workers, who were divided into two groups. The classic A&F model was compared with a new model, using a desk audit followed by interactive feedback. Communication training was provided to the audit team by psychologists before commencement of the project. The experimental group underwent psychological screening using two standardized tools (COPE-NVI and ProQoL) to evaluate personal and relational dynamics using the context-mechanism-outcome (CMO) paradigm.
Results: The exchange of ideas among health professionals is more effective when using face-to-face feedback than written feedback. The COPE-NVI and ProQoL questionnaires highlighted the difficulties experienced by health care professionals in implementing effective coping strategies to deal with stressful events.
Conclusions: Identifying signs of stress in health care workers is essential for improvement strategies to be implemented and for establishing new, optimal conditions. Remote feedback makes it possible to overcome logistical barriers and, in the future, this method can be used for inter-organizational collaboration.

Abstract: Research is critical for uncovering new and effective therapies for better health outcomes, yet there remains a significant lag between identifying evidence-based interventions and implementing them into practice. Research teams can often be experienced in evidence generation, but less so in evidence implementation, underscoring the need for more customized tools to support them in this latter step. The implementation stage can be especially challenging given how strategies must be tailored to the unique end users and contexts of a given intervention. Therefore, our patient-oriented kidney research network sought to create an "Implementation Toolkit" and "Pathway to Implementation" guide to help research teams and their operational and clinical partners in implementing their interventions. Importantly, the tools were created using input and feedback from diverse groups, including patient partners, implementation science experts, researchers, operational leaders, and policymakers, all of whom play role in supporting the implementation of health interventions. Our tools are widely applicable to diverse teams, regardless of the intervention or innovation being implemented.

Introduction: Formal nursing leaders play an important role in promoting and sustaining evidence-based practice (EBP) in the clinical context, particularly by creating a conducive environment for change and increasing clinicians' awareness of the positive results of EBP. However, nursing leaders encounter both barriers and facilitators in their work; therefore, it is important to understand their perceptions on this topic.
Objective: The objective of this study was to understand the perceptions of formal nursing leaders about barriers and facilitators for EBP.
Methods: A descriptive exploratory study with a qualitative approach was conducted. A convenience sample was obtained, consisting of formal nursing leaders from three Portuguese health care institutions. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Content analysis was conducted using MAXQDA Analytic Pro 2022 software.
Results: Seventeen formal nursing leaders were interviewed. Five categories of EBP barriers were identified: (1) scarce resources and inefficient resource management; (2) non-conducive organizational culture; (3) distance between academia and the clinical context; (4) demotivation; and (5) resistance to change. Seven categories of EBP facilitators were identified: (1) availability of resources and efficient resource management; (2) conducive organizational culture; (3) partnerships between academia and the clinical context; (4) motivation and commitment; (5) leadership; (6) organization that regulates professional practice; and (7) multidisciplinary meetings.
Conclusions: This study identified barriers and facilitators for EBP through the perceptions of formal nursing leaders. Collaborative multidisciplinary efforts by leaders, direct care professionals, academics, and researchers should be conducted to overcome barriers and strengthen facilitators for EBP.

Introduction: Medication safety is an important health priority that focuses on preventing harm from medication-related events. Unsafe medication administration practices can lead to errors, which can cause avoidable injury (or harm) to patients.
Objectives: This paper reports on an evidence implementation project conducted in a large tertiary hospital in Australia to improve nursing compliance with best practice recommendations for medication administration.
Methods: The project was guided by JBI's seven-phase approach to evidence implementation, using audit and feedback and a structured framework to identify barriers, enablers, and implementation strategies.
Results: The project resulted in improved compliance with best practice recommendations. This was achieved through multimodal strategies, including education, improved access to resources, and targeted feedback and discussion sessions to encourage culture and behavior change.
Conclusions: The project improved nurses' medication administration practices, specifically in performing independent second checks. Collaborative efforts of the project leads facilitated the review of medication administration policy and the development of staff education resources. Patient engagement remains an area for improvement, along with the potential need for further ongoing medication education.

Introduction: Ineffective communication between health care professionals is one of the leading causes of medical errors and can result in adverse events and patient harm. Improving the effectiveness of communication in health care is a worldwide necessity.
Objective: The aim of this project was to promote evidence-based practices regarding general communication principles among the nursing staff in one unit of a children's hospital in the southern United States.
Methods: The project used JBI's Evidence Implementation Framework, together with two JBI audit tools (Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System and Getting Research into Practice). A baseline audit was conducted, followed by the implementation of targeted strategies. The project was completed with a follow-up audit to determine changes in practice.
Results: Baseline data revealed 61% adherence with four audit criteria for effective communication in health care. Barriers included a lack of education of nursing staff regarding communication skills and less than optimal use of a structured communication tool. Targeted strategies to address the barriers included providing an educational module on communication to nursing staff and moving the structured communication tool to a more convenient location to increase its use. The post-implementation data revealed 81% adherence with the four audit criteria, a 20% increase from baseline results.
Conclusions: Optimizing communication and monitoring the use of a structured communication tool has the potential to decrease the risk of medical errors among health care providers.

Objective: This study provides a comprehensive overview of the knowledge structure and research hotspots regarding barriers and strategies for the implementation of clinical practice guidelines.
Methods: Publications on barriers and strategies for guideline implementation were searched for on Web of Science Core Collection from database inception to October 24, 2022. R package bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace were used to conduct the analysis.
Results: The search yielded 21,768 records from 3,975 journals by 99,998 authors from 3,964 institutions in 186 countries between 1983 and 2022. The number of published papers had a roughly increasing trend annually. The United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada contributed the majority of records. The University of Toronto, the University of Washington, and the University of Sydney were the biggest node in their cluster on the collaboration network map. The three journals that published the greatest number of relevant studies were Implementation Science , BMJ Open , and BMC Health Services Research . Grimshaw JM was the author with the most published articles, and was the second most co-cited author. Research hotspots in this field focused on public health and education, evidence-based medicine and quality promotion, diagnosis and treatment, and knowledge translation and barriers. Challenges and barriers, as well as societal impacts and inequalities, are likely to be key directions for future research.
Conclusions: This is the first bibliometric study to comprehensively summarize the research trends of research on barriers and strategies for clinical practice guideline implementation. A better understanding of collaboration patterns and research hotspots may be useful for researchers.
