Nurses utilisation of evidence to inform practice

This summary outlines two projects sponsored by the Ministry of Health in New Zealand aimed at improving nurses' access to and utilization of evidence to support their practice. In the North Island, funding is provided for all nurses in pilot DHB regions to access a recognized clinical procedure database, while in the South Island, the NZ Institute of Community Health Care is managing a project to develop a comprehensive website for nurses. The website will direct staff to high-quality web resources, educate them on efficient internet searching, and facilitate resource sharing. Findings from a survey indicate that nurses commonly rely on free websites and peer discussions for information, with the lack of subscriptions to evidence-based resources and hard copy journals being a barrier. Nurses can suggest content, highlight new articles, and will soon have access to a subscription site and central policies/procedures point. The session material was developed by Project Nurse Karen Betony, with valuable input and support from South Island DHB staff.
