Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate the evidence-based pain management knowledge, performance and Evidence-Based Practice(EBP) attitude of nurses at small-medium sized hospitals. Methods. The sample of this study were 214 nurses. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and stepwise multiple regression using SPSS/Win 21.0 Results. Evidence-based pain management knowledge score averaged $3.95{\pm}0.43$, with significant differences depending on clinical experiences. Performance score averaged $3.77{\pm}0.51$. EBP attitude score averaged $3.21{\pm}0.57$, and significant differences were evident depending on hospital division and clinical setting. Evidence-based pain management knowledge and EBP attitude were significant predictors of evidence-based pain management performance. Conclusions. This result indicates that education and training programs to facilitate evidence-based pain management knowledge, performance, and EBP attitude are needed among nurses.

Purpose: Thisstudy was conducted with an aim to get a kind of prioritiesin developing the evidence-based nursing practice guidelines in fields. Methods: This study utilized a two-round Delphi surveys from November to December, 2010 with self-administered questionnaires which had a scale ranged from 0 to 9. A total of 95 head nurses working at the forty different general hospitals was asked to evaluate the priorities in four criteria; patient coverage, certainty, improvement in patient outcome and in nursing practice (first round) and 65 head nurses were asked to decide the importance of the criteria afterwards (second round). Results: The relative importance of 4 criteria was 22.3% in patient coverage, 26.5% in certainty, 23.5% in improvement of patient outcome, and 27.7% in improvement of nursing practice as the results of the 1st round and 20.6%, 26.6%, 24.8%, and 28.0% for the 2nd round, respectively. Top five nursing practices showed high scores after considering the relative importances of the 4 criteria were medication, intravenous therapy, checking vital sign, pain management, and diagnostic test or procedures care.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand clinical nurses' level of information retrieval skill and its influence on evidence based practice (EBP). Methods: A cross-sectional design was used. Data were collected from a convenient sample of 492 nurses working at 5 university hospitals in Korea. The Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and hierarchical multiple linear regression. Results: The mean score for information retrieval skill and EBP competency were respectively $2.81{\pm}0.64$ and $3.98{\pm}0.86$. Two step hierarchical regression analysis showed that attendance at academic conference (p = .036) and information retrieval skill (p<.001) were significant factors of EBP competency, information retrieval skill explained about 19% of total variance of EBP competency. Conclusion: Nurse need to increased fundamental information retrieval skill for EBP competency. Therefore, it is important to increase nurses' information retrieval skills by tailoring continuing EBP education modules. It would be also advisable to develop centralized systems for the internal dissemination of research findings for the use of nursing staff.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess nurses' evidence-based practice (EBP) beliefs and competencies, and organizational supports to develop EBP. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted using a survey of clinical nurses at a tertiary hospital in South Korea. Results: The survey was distributed to a total of 1,413 nurses and was completed by 1,318 nurses. There were significant differences in the EBP beliefs and competencies, and the perception of organizational supports among nurses at different educational levels. The EBP beliefs, EBP competencies, and organizational supports had a positive correlation with each other. EBP competencies were the highest in nurses with less than 3-years of clinical experience, and the perception of organization supports were the highest in nurses with more than 10-years of clinical experience. Conclusion: The findings suggest that educational programs, training, and organizational supports are recommended for facilitating successful EBP among nurses.

Purpose: This study was to identify topics for evidence-based clinical nursing practice guidelines in Korea. Methods: Data were collected from 330 staff nurses from 10 general hospitals and 53 nurses in charge of nursing education in 110 hospitals with over 500 beds. Using open questions, the nurses identified activities which could not be verified, which lacked consistency among nurses, clinical units and/or hospitals, which were not based on the up-to-date knowledge and which needed reform. The data were analysed by content analysis using a qualitative methodology. Results: Collected data consisted of 1882 clinical topics, which were classified into 50 topics, 207 mid-categories, and 456 sub-categories. The most frequent topics in order of frequency were medications, central line management, intravenous injections, urinary catheterization, perioperative nursing care, skin tests, pressure ulcer care, blood transfusions, laboratory examination-culture, respiratory care which were performed routinely in clinical setting by staff nurses. Conclusion: The research findings indicate the urgent need to develop evidence-based clinical nursing practice guidelines related to these research findings. Further research is needed to identify topics related to health promotion, and symptom/management of health problem.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the actual utilization of clinical practice guidelines developed by Hospital Nurses Association. Methods: The subjects were 70 nurses who were in charge of guideline distributions in 70 advanced general hospital and general hospitals with 500 beds or more nationwide. Data were collected between June and August, 2020 by mail (return rate: 88.6%). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA with SPSS/WIN 24.0. Results: Among the clinical practice guidelines developed by Hospital Nurses Association, 72.9~90.1% were placed with book and electronic file in nursing department and 24.3~35.8% were placed with book and electronic file in each nursing unit at hospital. The average number of utilized clinical practice guidelines were 3.96±3.88, and average score of guideline utilization was score 2.85±0.79 which means 'use sometimes'. Conclusion: To improve the distribution and utilization of the clinical practice guidelines, it is necessary to enhance the recognition of values of evidence based nursing practice targeting head of nursing department and to stimulate the distribution and utilization of the clinical practice guidelines using diverse education programs for staff nurses.

신체적 억제대 사용은 많은 논란이 되고 있음에도 불구하고 여전히 임상실무에서 환자안전사고 예방을 위해 입원 중인 환자에게 흔히 사용되고 있다. 따라서 미래의 간호사가 될 간호대학생이 생각하는 신체적 억제대 사용과 관련된 지식, 태도, 인식 및 간호실무 정도를 확인하고, 신체적 억제대 사용 관련 간호실무 예측 요인을 확인하기 위해 서술적 조사연구를 시행하였다. 자료 수집은 2020년 1월 2일부터 1월 20일까지 2곳의 간호대학생 144명을 대상으로 자가 보고식 설문지를 통해 시행되었다. 자료 분석은 기술적 통계, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, multiple regression을 사용하였다. 연구결과 간호대학생의 신체적 억제대 사용에 대한 지식점수는 평균 11.55±2.81점, 태도점수는 평균 60.01±7.24점, 인식점수는 평균 59.97±10.68점, 간호실무 점수는 평균 38.04±4.15점 이었으며, 간호실무와 지식, 태도, 인식 모두 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 다중 회귀분석을 통한 신체적 억제대 사용과 관련된 간호실무에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 인식(β=.23, p=.005), 태도(β=.21, p=.009) 순으로, 이들 전체 변수의 설명력은 13%였다. 본 연구에서 신체적 억제대 사용 관련 간호실무에 가장 중요한 예측 요인은 신체적 억제대 사용에 대한 인식으로, 간호대학생이 신체적 억제대를 올바르게 인식하여 추후 간호사가 되었을 때 임상실무에서 올바르게 사용할 수 있도록 하기 위한 근거기반의 교육 중재 프로그램의 개발과 적용이 필요하겠다.
