Abstract |
This paper explores the relationship between evidence, decision tools, and the effectiveness of the nursing contribution to health services. It examines a continuum of decision-making within the international trend of the Effectiveness Movement, drawing on international literature and local experience. It draws on the concept of explicit evidence-based decision-making, the guideline development movement as exemplified through the New Zealand Guidelines Group, information technology in decision support, and the challenges of an evidential approach to nursing. This article is based on a paper given at 'The Pride and Passion of Professional Nursing Practice' College of Nurses' Aotearoa (NZ) Conference, Rotorua, 8-9 October 1998. |

Abstract |
This paper describes a collaboration between library staff and nurse educators, where information literacy skills are strengthened and embedded in the curriculum. A case-study approach was used with both quantitative and qualitative data. An anonymous questionnaire was distributed to all nurses enrolled in graduate courses in the second semester of 2002. Interviews were then undertaken with library staff. It was found that the university library services were not used by 43% of graduate nursing students . The library staff responded by developing a number of initiatives which aimed to improve awareness of services, access and provide education in a bid to improve literacy skills. |

Abstract |
This report presents an evaluation of the implementation of a best practice information sheet related to tracheal suctioning of adults with an artificial airway. The Centre for Evidence-Based Nursing Aotearoa, based in Auckland, conducted a systematic review of the evidence and produced the best practice information sheet. A survey of 105 nurses was conducted at three sites, in New Zealand and Australia. Using a before/after design, data were collected at the time of release of the information sheet and then approximately 12 months later. The study suggests a trend towards a modest uptake of best practice recommendations into nursing practice demonstrated by some behavioural changes within a 12-month period in the context of an implementation plan and the best practice information sheet. |
