Background: In China, there are large differences between regions in the use of gastroscopies and public awareness of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) screening.

Objective: This study investigated the current context and analyzed the barriers that influence UGI screening behavior among the general population in UGI cancer high-prevalence areas.

Methods: A total of 320 participants anonymously answered an online questionnaire. The rank sum test was used to analyze the difference in the scores of the UGI screening awareness questionnaire among participants with different socio-demographic characteristics. Using the awareness level of UGI screening and gastroscopy as the dependent variable, and the socio-demographic characteristics as the independent variable, simple linear regression and binary logistic regression analysis were used to determine the factors influencing attitudes toward gastroscopy screening. We used Spearman's correlation analysis to examine the correlation between UGI screening awareness level and willingness to undergo a gastroscopy.

Results: There was a correlation between the willingness to undergo gastroscopy and the awareness level of UGI screening (r = 0.243, p < 0.001). Linear regression analysis found that age, type of residence, education level, employment status, monthly income, history of gastroscopy, dietary habits, physical exercise, and convenience in obtaining information were significantly correlated with the awareness level of UGI screening ( p < 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis found that factors significantly associated with gastric cancer screening behavior include residence, monthly income, and self-perceived health status ( p  < 0.05).

Conclusion: It is necessary to improve education about UGI cancer and screening knowledge, with a focus on populations with lower education and income.

Introduction and objectives: Health care providers need a high level of communication skills in dealing with pediatric patients and their carers. The objective of this project was to evaluate current practice and implement best practices promoting health care provider communication with pediatric patients and carers in a children's hospital in Tabriz, Iran.

Methods: This project used the JBI Model of Evidence-Based Healthcare, which guided the conceptualization of evidence implementation, context analysis, project implementation, and evaluation of outcomes using evidence-based quality indicators. An audit and feedback strategy was adopted to measure baseline compliance with best practices, develop strategies to address areas of non-compliance, and conduct a final audit to measure any changes in compliance. Four criteria were developed for the baseline and follow-up audits. Criteria 1 and 2 were evaluated using a sample of 30 health care providers, while Criteria 3 and 4 were evaluated using a sample of 80 pediatric patients and carers.

Results: All four criteria improved at the end of the project. Criterion 1 (health care staff receive communication skills training) had the highest mean score at baseline and follow-up (63% and 83%, respectively). Criterion 2 (implementation of local strategies by health care organizations) increased from 45% to 55%. However, this rate of improvement was the lowest of all the criteria. Criterion 3 (pediatric patients receive relevant education) improved from low to moderate, rising from 18% to 49%. A more significant improvement was noted for Criterion 4 (parents receive relevant education), which rose from 19% to 56%.

Conclusions: The strategies implemented in this project successfully improved health care provider communication with pediatric patients and their carers. To ensure project sustainability, repeat audits will be conducted after 3, 6, and 12 months.

Introduction: Miltefosine is a new drug that was recently approved for the treatment of tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) by the Brazilian health system. It has a teratogenic potential and requires follow-up of patients undergoing treatment. Improving compliance with best practices is essential to ensure the safe and appropriate use of this drug.

Objective: This project aimed to implement best practices for the safe and appropriate use of miltefosine in the treatment of TL in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Methods: This project was guided by the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework. Five best practice criteria were established based on the best available evidence. A baseline audit was conducted to measure current practice against best practice. Barriers to best practice were then identified and a follow-up audit was conducted to evaluate changes after the implementation of improvement strategies. Two sites were analyzed: a leishmaniasis reference service in Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais, and 28 regional offices.

Results: The baseline audit evaluated data from 197 miltefosine requests distributed across 13 regional sites. All requests from the reference service were compliant (100%). This is in contrast to the 60% compliance rate at the regional offices. The improvement strategies included intensifying direct communication with the regional health professionals, which increased the average compliance rate to 79.5%, 6 months after the interventions were introduced.

Conclusion: This best practice implementation project effectively increased the compliance rate for the audited procedures. Communication from the reference site with the regional health professionals successfully increased compliance with best practices and promoted the safe and appropriate use of miltefosine. These strategies should analyzed and applied to improve other programs.

Objectives: This project aimed to promote evidence-based practices relat. ed to the oral health of critically ill patients in an intensive care unit in Brazil.

Introduction: The oral hygiene of patients on mechanical ventilation is an essential component of nursing care quality, and well-defined guidelines ensure appropriate care. Mechanical ventilation is associated with the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia, which can increase mortality, length of stay, time on mechanical ventilation, and hospital costs.

Methods: This project was guided by the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework, which consists of seven stages: (1) identification of the area of practice to be changed, (2) involvement of change agents, (3) context assessment and readiness for change, (4) review of practices against evidence-based audit criteria, (5) implementation of practice changes, (6) reassessment of practices using a follow-up audit and (7) consideration of the sustainability of changes in practice.

Results: Four audit criteria were developed to evaluate compliance with best practices. In the follow-up audit, Criteria 1, 2, and 3 obtained compliance of ≥ 80%. Thus, for Criterion 1, all the patients on mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours were evaluated by the oral medicine team, resulting in 100% compliance. For Criterion 2 on appropriate oral hygiene measures, a compliance rate of 80% was achieved. For Criterion 3, 39 professionals (90.7%) participated in educational activities related to the oral health protocol for critically ill patients, obtaining 90.7% compliance. For Criterion 4 regarding patients being evaluated before receiving any oral health care, improvement was low (only 50%), revealing the need for further improvement.

Conclusion: This best practice project improved the professional practice of nursing staff and increased compliance with best practices for the oral health of critically ill patients.

Introduction: Stroke patients frequently experience debilitating deficits, and some receive a terminal diagnosis. Palliative care services are introduced to prioritize care, with the goal of improving quality of life. However, palliative care communication (PCC) is often delayed or used inefficiently with stroke patients.

Objectives: This project aimed to promote PCC evidence-based practices (EBPs) with stroke patients.

Methods: This project used the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework to improve compliance with PCC EBPs with stroke patients in a medical center in Mississippi, USA. Four EBPs were identified from a JBI evidence summary and used as audit criteria. A baseline audit was conducted to measure compliance of current practice with best practice. Barriers to EBPs were identified, improvement strategies were implemented, and a follow-up audit was conducted to determine compliance changes.

Results: The baseline audit revealed 53% to 80% compliance with the four EBPs. Barriers to EBPs included lack of health care professionals' knowledge regarding EBPs; lack of PCC, miscommunication, or delayed PCC with patients regarding hospitalization timeline and quality of life; and no standardized documentation or location for PCC within the electronic health record. Improvement strategies included a PCC education program for health care professionals and a concise statement and validation checkbox to the "progress note" in the electronic health record to promote daily PCC with patients. The follow-up audit revealed 20% to 34% compliance rate improvement with EBPs.

Conclusions: Annual PCC training should be conducted for health care professionals. Implementing PCC through a multidisciplinary approach can promote more meaningful discussion and efficient decision-making, prioritizing patients' quality of life.

Introduction: Diarrhea, the most common complication for patients during enteral nutrition, poses a range of risks and care burdens. Medical staff are aware of the importance of proactively preventing and managing enteral nutrition-related diarrhea. However, clinical prevention and management methods are not standardized, and the scientific basis and effectiveness of these methods need to be further verified.

Objectives: This project aimed to promote evidence-based practices for the prevention and management of enteral nutrition-related diarrhea among adult inpatients in a public tertiary hospital in China.

Methods: This project was guided by the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework and used the JBI Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System (PACES) and the JBI Getting Research into Practice (GRiP) tools. Twelve audit criteria were developed to conduct a baseline audit to measure compliance with best practices. A barrier analysis was conducted, and strategies were implemented to overcome the barriers. The project was finalized with a follow-up audit to determine any changes in compliance with best practices.

Results: The overall compliance rate for the audit criteria increased from 27.37% at baseline to 89.62% in the follow-up audit, with six criteria achieving a compliance rate of 100%.

Conclusions: The implementation of evidence-based practices can effectively narrow the gap between current practice and best practice. This project improved the ability of medical staff to prevent and manage enteral nutrition-related diarrhea, as well as promoting evidence-based practice in the hospital.

Introduction: Post-operative pain is the most prevalent type of acute pain. Nurses are the health care professionals who most frequently assess pain, as well as evaluating the patient's response to pain management treatment and monitoring for the occurrence of adverse events. Thus, to improve outcomes and quality of care, the interventions used by nurses should be based on best practices.

Objectives: The aim of this project was to implement best practices in post-operative pain management in an intensive care unit.

Methods: This evidence implementation project was conducted in a hospital for the surgical treatment of orthopedic diseases and trauma. The project followed the JBI evidence implementation framework. The project used JBI PACES software as well as JBI's Getting Research into Practice (GRiP) audit and feedback tools to develop eight audit criteria for the baseline and follow-up audits.

Results: The baseline audit showed that criteria 3 and 6 had low compliance, with few patients having documented plans and goals, and receiving multimodal analgesia in the ICU, respectively. Criteria 7 and 8, which assessed the use of opioids and follow-up by a pain specialist, revealed compliance of 60% and 50%, respectively. Criterion 3 improved from 0% to 20%. Criteria 6, 7, and 8 also improved, rising to 30%, 22.8%, and 50%, respectively.

Conclusion: The project improved compliance with best practices in post-operative pain management. Further studies are needed to ensure the project's long-term sustainability.

Introduction: The emergency department is a fast-paced and complex health care setting, where critical care is provided to patients of all ages. However, various environmental factors, such as high patient volumes, overburdened staff, and frequent nurse turnover, can hinder the use of evidence-based practices during procedural sedation. Proper patient monitoring is essential to prevent adverse events during procedural sedation.

Objectives: The goal of this implementation project was to enhance compliance with best practices for patient monitoring during procedural sedation in the emergency department.

Methods: The project used the JBI Model of Evidence-Based Healthcare and JBI's Getting Research into Practice (GRiP) tool for implementing evidence-based monitoring practices for adult patients during procedural sedation in the emergency department. A baseline audit was conducted to assess current practice against evidence-based recommendations, followed by the implementation of strategies to improve compliance with best practices. The project concluded with a follow-up audit to determine any improvement in practice.

Results: The baseline audit revealed 81% overall compliance with evidence-based practice. Three barriers were identified, namely, lack of staff education, increased turnover rate of nurses, and the need for nurses to be mobile during procedural sedation. Strategies were implemented to improve compliance with evidence-based practice. The follow-up audit showed an overall improvement of 95% after project implementation.

Conclusions: The project improved best practices for patient monitoring during procedural sedation in the emergency department. However, more work remains to be done to ensure the sustainability of the best practices, including monitoring of end-tidal capnography and vital sign assessment.
