Subclaims¶

q2 i? Compared to no intervention, nurses exposed to mentoring as part of a multifaceted intervention had increased beliefs in EBP in one study (M = 57.2%–62.6% vs. 58.0%–58.2%, p = .025) or no difference in another. → Abdullah 2014 q2 i? Two studies reported no difference between groups of nurses' uptake of nonguideline-based research evidence into clinical practice, and one study reported no difference in retention. → Abdullah 2014 (2) q2 i? Nurses' participation in mentoring as part of a multifaceted intervention led to a 5% reduction in the prevalence of hospital acquired pressure ulcers. → Abdullah 2014 (3)

q2 · i? · review · r3

The review reports contrasts against no intervention from a controlled before-and-after study (Wallen et al., 2010, 159 nurse leaders) and a pre/post study (Mariano et al., 2009, 20 nurses); beliefs in EBP increased in one and showed no difference in the other.

"Compared to no intervention, nurses exposed to mentoring as part of a multifaceted intervention had increased beliefs in EBP (M = 57.2%–62.6% vs. 58.0%–58.2%, p = .025; Wallen et al., 2010) or no difference (Mariano et al., 2009)."

q2 · i? · review · r3

The review reports null contrasts against no intervention for nurses' uptake of nonguideline-based research evidence in two studies (Mariano et al., 2009; Wallen et al., 2010), and no difference in retention in Wallen et al. (2010); equivalence was not tested.

"Two studies reported no difference between groups of nurses’ uptake of nonguideline-based research evidence into clinical practice (Mariano et al., 2009; Wallen et al., 2010)."

q2 · i? · review · r3

Pre/post test study (Morgan, 2012) in a community hospital with 15 nurses implementing a pressure ulcer guideline; the review reports a 5% reduction in the prevalence of hospital acquired pressure ulcers, a descriptive pre/post change with no printed effect size.

"Nurses’ participation in mentoring as part of a multifaceted intervention also led to a 5% reduction in the prevalence of hospital acquired pressure ulcers (Morgan, 2012)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Multifaceted interventions with mentoring improved practitioners' knowledge, beliefs, and organizational outcomes in most studies, but showed mixed findings for behaviors and practitioner/patient outcomes — a broader claim this one bears on
• Mentoring within multifaceted interventions outperformed single interventions (educational materials alone or educational meetings) on knowledge, beliefs, and evidence-use outcomes in several trials — related
• In one low-risk-of-bias trial, adding mentoring to a multifaceted intervention improved one physician behavior (antiplatelet medication use) while other behaviors showed no difference — related
