Title : Exploring the enablers and barriers to implementing evidence-based practice in acute stroke care
Abstract:
The integration of evidence-based practises (EBPs) plays a crucial role in enhancing patient outcomes and lessening the impact of post-stroke disability, particularly in the realm of acute stroke care within the healthcare field. The objective of this study is to explore the various factors that facilitate or hinder the effective adoption of evidence-based practises (EBPs) in the provision of acute stroke care. By doing so, this research aims to enhance our comprehension of the intricate dynamics involved in the translation of research findings into tangible clinical interventions. This research employs a rigorous methodology, consisting of an extensive evaluation of existing literature, as well as a mixed-method approach, to identify and analyse the primary factors that impact the acceptance and long-term viability of evidence-based guidelines in the field of acute stroke care. One crucial component under examination is the healthcare practitioners' attitudes towards the integration of novel practises, in conjunction with the difficulties presented by institutional policies and limitations in resources. Additionally, the research acknowledges the significance of interprofessional collaboration and patient participation in cultivating a favourable setting for the incorporation of evidence-based practises (EBPs). Additionally, it underscores the significance of technological improvements in enabling the smooth implementation of evidence-based therapies within acute stroke care environments. This analysis highlights the importance of educational and training programmes in fostering a culture that prioritises evidence-based care. The research underscores the need of providing healthcare personnel with the requisite information and competencies to proficiently comprehend and apply contemporary evidence-based guidelines, hence acknowledging the imperative for ongoing learning and enhancement. This study offers useful insights into the development of methods that can effectively bridge the gap between research evidence and clinical application by comprehending the intricate dynamics of decision-making processes inside healthcare organisations. This study seeks to provide practical suggestions for policymakers, healthcare administrators, and healthcare professionals by actively involving nurses who specialise in caring for stroke patients. This research proposes the implementation of specific interventions and policies to foster a culture of evidence-based practise in acute stroke care, by addressing the identified problems and utilising the available opportunities. The primary objective is to provide a valuable contribution to the healthcare system by promoting the integration of evidence-based practises. This integration is expected to result in improved patient outcomes and a more sustainable strategy to managing acute stroke cases.
