First Author | Description of Study Purpose | Reason for Exclusion from Review |
---|---|---|
Davies [28] | To determine whether using a specific intervention would lead to more appropriate implementation of guidelines | 1. Investigators do not describe guideline content and recommendations |
 |  | 2. Investigators do not specify what percentage or number of guideline recommendations must be met to signify effectiveness |
 |  | 3. Unable to determine the extent guideline recommendations were followed |
Hodnett [29] | To evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention to promote research-based nursing care | 1. Investigators described the content of the intervention but the outcomes do not correspond to the content |
 |  | 2. Unable to determine how the outcomes represent research use |
McDonald [30] | To test the effectiveness an intervention to increase nurses adherence to pain assessment and management guidelines, and to improve patient outcomes | 1. Investigators do not specify what percentage or number of recommendations must be met to signify effectiveness |
 |  | 2. Investigators do not measure all recommendations of the intervention |
 |  | 3. Unable to determine the extent of recommendation adherence |
Murtaugh [31] | To test the effectiveness of two interventions designed to improve the adoption of evidence-based practices | 1. Investigators do not specify what percentage or number of recommendations must be met to signify effectiveness |
 |  | 2. Investigators do not measure all recommendations of the intervention |
 |  | 3. Unable to determine the extent of recommendation adherence |
Feldman [32] | To assess the impact and cost-effectiveness of two interventions designed to improve management and outcomes of patients | 1. Not explicitly aimed at increasing research use or evidence-based practice |
Feldman [33] | To examine the effect of an intervention designed to standardize nursing care, strengthen nurses' support for patient self management, and yield better patient outcomes | 1. Not explicitly aimed at increasing research use or evidence-based practice |
Gould [34] | To develop, implement, and evaluate an intervention designed to promote nurses' compliance with key procedures | 1. Not explicitly aimed at increasing research use or evidence-based practice |
 |  | 2. Unable to determine if 'key procedures' are evidence-based |
Jones [35] | To develop and test an intervention to improve practices, knowledge, attitudes, and policies | 1. Not explicitly aimed at increasing research use or evidence-based practice |
Moongtui [36] | To evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention on nursing practices | 1. Not explicitly aimed at increasing research use or evidence-based practice |
