Selection Of A Method To Rate The Strength Of Scientific Evidence For Aorn Recommendations, Victoria Steelman, T. Pape, C. King, P. Graling, K. Gaberson

The use of scientific evidence to support national recommendations about clinical decisions has become an expectation of multidisciplinary health care organizations. The objectives of this project were to identify the most applicable evidence-rating method for perioperative nursing practice, evaluate the reliability of this method for perioperative nursing recommendations, and identify barriers and facilitators to adoption of this method for AORN recommendations. A panel of perioperative nurse experts evaluated 46 evidence-rating systems for quality, quantity, and consistency. We rated the methods that fully covered all three domains on five aspects of applicability to perioperative nursing practice recommendations. The Oncology Nursing Society's …

The Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) is a standardized language that identifies all interventions performed by nurses. Each nursing intervention has a label name, a conceptual definition, and a set of defining activities. The NIC provides a standardized nomenclature for automated databases, describes and measures nursing's contribution to health care, facilitates nursing education, supports clinical decision making, plans resource allocation, and facilitates nursing research. Perioperative nurses can use the NIC to describe and document their contributions to surgical patients' outcomes.

The Iowa Model of Research-Based Practice to Promote Quality Care was originally developed and implemented at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Since its inception, the model has been used in numerous settings, and users of the model have provided feedback for improving it. This article discusses how the original model is used and describes the revised model; The Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Quality Care. Copyright © 2001 by W.B. Saunders Company

Issues In Sterilization And Disinfection, Victoria Steelman

Urology nurse managers and practitioners play a key role in minimizing the risk of infection to patients. It is essential that managers understand the processes of sterilization and disinfection, precautions, recommendations, and related issues to establish appropriate policies and procedures. It is equally important for practitioners to understand sterilization and disinfection and the rationale for practice guidelines. This area is dynamic, with new products and technology being introduced into the market each year. Along with these innovations will be additional information, and possibly revisions in recommendations. Therefore, urology nurses must remain current with scientific literature and national standards.

This article describes the Iowa Model of Research in Practice, a heuristic model used at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics for infusing research into practice to improve the quality of care. The components of the model are presented with examples. The impact of the model on patient, staff, and fiscal outcomes is delineated.

Creating more sophisticated models that describe and value nursing care will enable more sophisticated management of nursing resources. The authors used the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) as the basis for describing actions performed by nurses. Nursing experts evaluated each intervention in order to assign the time required for each task and the minimum level of education required to perform each task. Fifty-four percent of the interventions were determined to require fewer than 30 minutes. Over 70% of the interventions in the NIC were deemed to require basic RN education to per-form them safely and appropriately. With the time and skill …
