Faculty Opinions recommendation of Health professionals' views on the barriers and enablers to evidence-based practice for acute stroke care: a systematic review.

An evidence summary based on the systematic review: Baatiema L, Otim ME, Mnatzaganian G, de-Graft Aikins A, Coombes J, Somerset S. Health professionals' views on the barriers and enablers to evidence-based practice for acute stroke care: a systematic review. Implement Sci. 2017;12:74. 10.1186/s13012-017-0599-3 Evidence-based practice is the keystone of clinical practice, policy and management. Despite this, a knowledge-to-practice gap still exists, and it is estimated to take 17 years for evidence to be translated into clinical practice. The reasons for slow translation in acute stroke care are not completely understood.

ABSTRACT Objective: To report the experience of the Portugal Centre For Evidence Based Practice (PCEBP): a JBI Centre of Excellence in the training of health professionals, researchers, and professors in the Comprehensive Systematic Review Training Program, a course on Evidence Synthesis, specifically on Systematic Literature Reviews. Method: This article aims to report the experience of the Portugal Centre For Evidence Based Practice: a JBI Centre of Excellence in the implementation of the Comprehensive Systematic Review Training Program that trains health professionals, researchers, and teachers to develop Systematic Reviews, according to the JBI approach. Results: By the end of 2020, 11 editions of the course had been developed with 136 participants from different educational and health institutions, from different countries. As a result of the training of these participants, 13 systematic reviews were published in JBI Evidence Synthesis and 10 reviews were published in other journals. Conclusion: The reported results and the students’ satisfaction evaluation allow us to emphasize the relevance of the course for health professionals training on evidence synthesis.

Evidence Based Nursing

The Quality in Acute Stroke (QASC) trial demonstrated a significant reduction in death and disability when clinicians were assisted to introduce protocols to manage fever, hyperglycaemia (sugar) and swallowing (FeSS) following stroke. We describe a unique international collaboration between the Nursing Research Institute at Australian Catholic University; the European Stroke Organisation; and the Angels Initiative, working collaboratively to support implementation of the nurse-led FeSS Protocols in 20 European countries. We currently have 71 hospitals from 16 countries participating (hospitals from four countries are in the preparation phase) with 49 hospitals currently entering data (n=2819 patients to-date). Baseline data have been received from 39 hospitals, with FeSS Protocol implementation commenced at 16 hospitals. Five hospitals have completed the Project. 'Upscale and spread' of these evidence-based, nursing protocols into countries with vastly different healthcare systems, many of whom also have no access to the latest stroke therapies, is likely to make a significant impact in reducing death and disability after stroke.
