ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the status of the readiness of evidence-based practice programs for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, identify the influencing factors that will be faced in the implementation process, and promote the transformation of evidence.
MethodsInvestigate the readiness of evidence-based practice plan for adolescent scoliosis patients: clinic readiness evidence-based nursing assessment was conducted on nurses from the Department of Spine Surgery, Rehabilitation Medicine and Pediatric Department of Y City Hospital in China using the general information questionnaire and the evidence-based nursing practice readiness rating scale to evaluate the evidence-based practice readiness of the program of “special sports rehabilitation nursing for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis” to identify the possible influencing factors during the implementation process of the program.
ResultIn the survey assessing readiness for an evidence-based practice plan regarding scoliosis-specific rehabilitation exercises, 177 valid questionnaires were collected. The mean total score of the CREBNA scale was 135.39 ± 12.75, with subscale scores of 54.08 ± 5.34 for evidence, 39.51 ± 4.09 for organizational environment, and 41.80 ± 5.38 for facilitating factors. Individual item scores ranged from 3.45 to 4.98. Univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences in CREBNA total scores based on participants’ understanding of evidence-based nursing practices and their perceived necessity. Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis further identified the perceived necessity of evidence-based nursing practice as the primary factor influencing readiness for implementation.
ConclusionThe results of the survey on the readiness of evidence-based nursing practice showed that the current evidence-based nursing practice preparation of nurses for rehabilitation exercise for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis was good and feasible. However, the study was limited to samples drawn from tertiary hospitals in Y City. Future multi-center and longitudinal studies are warranted to validate and extend these findings.
Clinical implicationsTo investigate the readiness of nurses for the clinical practice of exercise rehabilitation for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, so as to expand the evidence-based practice of adolescent rehabilitation nursing, enrich the content of special exercise rehabilitation nursing for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in China, reduce the pain caused by surgical treatment to patients, and improve its clinical value, which is of great significance in promoting the good outcome of patients, providing reference for follow-up research, and updating relevant clinical practice guidelines in the future. Selection criteria and guiding programs are provided for reference.
