Objective To provide evidence-based therapeutic schedule for an adult patient with Lumber Isthmic Spondylolisthesis grading II. Methods Based on fully assessing the patient’s conditions, the clinical problems were put forward according to PICO principles. Such database as The Cochrane Library (2005 to April 2011), DARE (April 2011), CENTRAL (April 2011), MEDLINE (April 2011), EMbase and CBM were searched to collect high quality clinical evidence, and then we told a patient information about treatment plans. The plan was chosen by the patient for she knew her conditions and the plans. Results We included 1 meta-analysis, 3 randomized controlled trials, 5 systematic reviews and 1 prospective study on the natural course of isthmic spondylolisthesis were included. Literature evidence indicated that the prognosis of isthmic spondylolisthesis was good. Surgery should be selected when there was neither no remission of symptom, nor progression of lumber olisthy with conservative treatment. The long-term effect of surgery may be good, but it cannot change the natural course of the disease. Based on literature evidence, the patient chose the conservative treatment. After one year’s treatment the patient recovered, her sciatica relieved, and CT showed no progression of lumber olisthy. Conclusion Patient with low grand isthmic spondylolisthesis chose conservative treatment may achieves good effects, whereas on the process of the treatment, regular follow-up to monitor the progression of lumber olisthy should be conducted.
Objective To formulate an evidence-based nursing strategy of turning over for a patient with the risk of pressure ulcer. Methods The personalized clinical questions were put forward based on the PICO and patient’s condition, and the following databases such as NGC, The Cochrane Library of DARE, CDSR, CCTR, MEDLINE, PubMed and CBM were searched to collect the best clinical evidences of turning over for preventing pressure ulcer. Results One clinical guideline, one systematic review and three randomized controlled trials were included finally. According to the retrieval outcomes, patient’s clinical condition, and patients and their family members’ willingness, a reasonable nursing plan of turning over was formulated: lie on the visco-elastic foam decompression bed, turn over every 4 hours, and combine supine position with alternation of left-oblique 30° position and right-oblique 30° position. During hospitalization, the grade-I pressure ulcer in size of 4×6 cm2 on patient’s sacrococcygeal region was clear, dry and not broken, and the other part of body with pigmentation had no occurrence of pressure ulcer. Conclusion Evidence-based approaches are helpful to provide patient with a nursing plan that meets the needs of both scientificalness and individualization.
Objective To formulate a rational adjuvant therapeutic evidence-based nursing plan for a patient with grade II red and swelling type phlebitis. Methods According to the condition of the patient and using the PICO principle, we put forward clinical problems. Then we comprehensively searched the National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC), ACP Journal Club, The Cochrane Library, DARE, PubMed, MEDLINE, CNKI and Google Scholar from 2000 to 2012. Relevant clinical guidelines, evidence summaries, systematic reviews/ meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and high quality reviews on adjuvant therapy of grade II red and swelling type phlebitis were collected and their authenticity, importance and applicability were evaluated. Results One systematic review, four meta-analyses, five RCTs, and one review were totally included. According to current evidence as well as the patient’s clinical conditions and preference, a comprehensive and effective adjuvant therapeutic and nursing programme was given to the patient. For grade II red and swelling type phlebitis with blisters and severe pain, paretic infusion should be immediately stopped on the lesion-side limb, and venous indwelling needle should be extracted. Then, mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream should be applied on the skin impaired by vein inflammation, and the local area should be gently massaged for 3 min, twice daily (once in the morning and evening, respectively). After four-day treatment and nursing care, the patient with phlebitis had already recovered. Conclusion Evidence-based medicine approaches could help us develop comprehensive therapeutic plans for patients which promote recovery of patients with phlebitis, alleviate pain, improve health, and increasepatients’ quality of life.
Objective To seek evidence based methods to treat bedsore of aged patients. Methods We raised clinical questions according to the condition of an eighty-year old male patient, and then, with "bedsore" (treatment or prevention) as key words we searched evidences from Cochrane Library (2nd edition 2002), Medline (1996-2002.4), and Sumsearch. Results We found 3 SR (systematic review) from Cochrane Library, 3 Meta-analyse and 38 RCT (randomized controlled trial) from medline, and 3 SR and 9 RCT from Sumsearch. Conclusion 1 Various types of mattress are useful in prevention the bedsore. 2 There is still not enough evidences of electromagnetic therapy. 3 In state II bedsore, healing is faster in using collagen Dressing than using water-glue Dressing. 4 Local application of antibiotics and Phenytoin sodium can accelerate the growth of new granulation tissue. 5 Nutritional support is necessary for bedsore prevention and healing. According to these evidence, we make the best care plan for this patient. After our treatment, the wound healed 10 days later, and he doesn’t occur bedsore any more.
Objective To explore the effect of evidence-based nursing education on the critical thinking ability of nursing students. Methods One hundred and two junior college nursing students participated in this study. They were divided into the experimental group and the control group. All of them received standard clinical nursing practice training, and students in the experimental group also attended evidence-based nursing training. All the students completed the Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory before and after training. Results Students in the experimental group had improved critical thinking ability compared with the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (Plt;0.05). Conclusions Evidence-based nursing education can improve the critical thinking ability of nursing students.
Objective To investigate the effect of nursing practice on the treatment compliance in schizophrenic inpatients.Methods A total of 196 inpatients with schizophrenia met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups: the rountine nursing group (n=96) and the trial group (n=100). The trial group followed the paths of evidence-based nursing by confirming the affected facts of compliance, collecting the evidence, evaluating the evidence and incorporating this into nursing practice. The change of compliance was evaluated and two groups were scored by NOSIE-30 and BPRS at the beginning and 3 months later, respectively.Results The trial group had a significant improvement (Plt;0.05) on using the chosen treatment and had a lower relapse rate. Conclusions Implementing evidence-based nursing practice has a positive effect on the compliance with treatment of inpatients with schizophrenia.

Objective To formulate an evidence-based position program for a ventilation patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods Based on fully assessing the patient’s conditions, the clinical problems were put forward according to PICO principles. Such database as The Cochrane Library (2005 to January 2011), DARE (March 2011), CCTR (March 2011), MEDLINE (1996 to January 2011) and CNKI (1979 to January 2011) were retrieved to collect high quality clinical evidence, and then the optimum nursing program was designed in line with patient’s conditions and relatives’ willingness. Results Three meta-analyses, three randomized controlled trials, one systematic review and one anterior-posterior self-control study were included. The available clinical evidence displayed that: a) the prone position adopting earlier, especially for patients with bilateral lungs or left lung functional disorder, was propitious to effectively improve the oxygenation condition and reduce the incidence of ventilator induced lung injury (VILI); b) The long-term prone position could increase the risk of pressure sore; c) The prone position could prolong the survival time, but there was no enough evidence to prove that it could obviously decrease the mortality rate of ARDS. So finally a nursing plan was made in combination with literature evidence and patient’s condition: adopting the prone position after onset within 24 to 36 hours, and enhancing the skin nursing to prevent pressure sore at the same time. After 4-week comprehensive therapy and prone position ventilation, the patient got obvious alleviated in oxygenation, with SpO 2 up to 90% to 100%, stable vital signs, and no more VILI and pressure sore. And then the patient was stopped applying ventilator, and transferred to a general ward for further treatment. Conclusion The earlier adoption of prone position ventilation for severe ARDS can improve oxygenation and reduce ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) and VILI, but whether it can prolong survival time and reduce mortality for mild ARDS or not still has to be proved with more high quality evidence in the future.
