Abstract: This study is to explore the effect of predictive nursing mode on preventing from bone cement implantation syndrome in hemiarthroplasty. 55 patients who were performed with bone cement hemiarthroplasty in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2018 were selected. These patients were divided into conventional group (n=25) and predictive nursing mode group (n=30) according to nursing modes. Then the systolic pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR) and oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2) of the two groups of patients were compared 10min before injection of bone cement (T1), at the time of implantation of bone cement (T2), and 10min after injection of bone cement respectively (T3). The occurrence situation of respiratory distress, arrhythmia, dizziness, chest distress, panic, nausea, vomiting and shock for the two groups of patients in the surgery were compared. There was no significant difference for the comparison of the data including age, cardiac function, etc. of the patients between the conventional group and predictive nursing mode group. However, SBP and DBP of the intervention group at the time of T1, T2 and T3 were higher than that of the conventional group (P<0.05). Additionally, HR and SpO2 of the intervention group at the time of T1, T2 and T3 were higher than that of the conventional group (P<0.05). As for the comparison of the evaluation indexes of bone cement for the two groups of patients in the surgery, the occurrence situation of hypotension, hyoxemia and RDS for the intervention group were apparently lower than that for the conventional group (P<0.05). As for the comparison of the intraoperative discomfort for the two groups of patients, the occurrence situation of dizziness, chest distress, panic, vomiting, nausea and shock of the intervention group were lower than that of the conventional group. The predictive nursing mode can be used for early intervention so as to relieve and avoid the occurrence of bone cement implantation syndrome in hemiarthroplasty, therefore it is worthy of being promoted for application. Suspected BCIS should be treated with aggressive resuscitation and supportive care. Prevention of BCIS includes identification of high-risk patients, preoperatively optimizing patient risk factors and comorbidities, and good communication with the surgical team.

Abstract: Background: Evidence-based practice is important in improving the overall quality of patient care, enhance nursing practice and increase the confidence in decision-making. Evidence-based practice is a technique used in solving clinical issues regarding patient care by integrating well-designed evidence with patient preferences, patient assessments, and health professionals. This review aims to explore barriers that confront nursing in the implementation of evidence-based practice. Consequently, by determining some of the barriers to the implementation of EBP among nurses, health care systems can form solutions that allow the health centers to avoid such issues and execute the approach among health care providers. Methods: peer review was undertaken following a literature search in the databases involved CINAHL, MEDLINE and EBSCO Web of Science databases. Included studies were from October 2018 to December 2018, English language and peer-reviewed studies that aimed to explore the organizational and individual barriers within the healthcare setting. The quality appraisal tool was used to appraise all the included studies. Results: A total of 12 studies were included. Six studies were quantitative, five studies were qualitative, and one study used mixed methods. Four organizational barriers to implementing Evidence-based practice among nurses were found by reviewing the literature which is ("lack of support and supervision", "lack of training" and "education", "limited resources” and “time restriction”). While, four main themes were considering as an individual barrier to implementing Evidence-based practice among nurses: ("lack of nurses' knowledge", "skills and awareness regarding use the Evidence-based practice", "lack of professional characteristic", "nurses' attitude and experience in using" and "language barrier in using or implementing Evidence-based practice"). Conclusions and implications for future practice: Nursing administrators and educators have the main role to facilitate evidence-based practice implementation among nurses, therefore; the findings of this review can help to overcome the identified barriers. Training and education are important to enhance the knowledge and skills of nurses to use evidence-based practice. Time management, providing the required resources and adequate supervision can facilitate the implementation of evidence-based practice which positively influences the quality of care. For further research, it is very fruitful to investigate the common barriers of EBP in one specific culture such as the middle eastern culture. Furthermore, future research may focus on barriers of implementing EBP related to the patients and their families.
