ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: To promote evidence-based practices related to the prevention of adverse events associated with medication administration (only chemotherapy) in a hospital service. INTRODUCTION: The medication management process in a hospital setting is highly complex, going through multiple stages from drug selection, procurement and storage, to prescription, validation, dispensing, preparation, administration and monitoring. METHODS: An evidence implementation project based on an audit and feedback approach was conducted from December 2019 to April 2021 using the JBI Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System and Getting Research into Practice. RESULTS: The results of the baseline audit showed that the 10 audit criteria were mostly met; however, two of the criteria (criterion 6: the expiry date of medication is checked before use and criterion 7: the nurse who prepares the medication administers the medication to the patient) had low compliance (respectively, 0 and 67.9%). After identifying the barriers and implementing strategies to deal with the identified barriers, we verified a significant improvement in compliance with best practices (criterion 6 improved to 64.3% and criterion 7 to 78.6%). CONCLUSION: This implementation project was a success, achieving a great improvement of the implementation of evidence-based guidelines concerning the prevention of adverse events associated with medication administration in a hospital in central Portugal. More such projects should be planned to sustain the implementation of evidence-based methods to improve health outcomes, patient safety, costs and health systems.

Resumo Contexto: A dor a nível músculo-esquelético é um problema muito frequente em trabalhadores de diferentes contextos laborais. O exercício físico pode contribuir na prevenção e diminuição deste fenómeno. Objetivos: Mapear os programas de exercício físico para a dor músculo-esquelética relacionada com o trabalho. Método de revisão: Será considerada a estratégia de definição dos participantes, conceito e contexto (PCC) proposta pelo Joanna Briggs Institute. Serão incluídas as bases de dados: CINAHL Complete; PubMed; Scopus; SciELO; PEDro; SPORTDiscus. A pesquisa por estudos não publicados incluirá: DART-Europe; OpenGrey; RCAAP. Estudos publicados em inglês, espanhol e português serão considerados para inclusão e análise. A seleção dos artigos, a extração e síntese dos dados será desenvolvida por dois revisores independentes. Apresentação e interpretação dos resultados: Os dados analisados serão apresentados de forma diagramática, tabular e descritiva. Conclusão: O mapeamento de programas de exercício físico direcionados à prevenção de dores músculo-esqueléticas relacionadas com o trabalho poderá levar à reflexão sobre os mais adequados e a identificar áreas prioritárias.
Abstract Background: Musculoskeletal pain is a very common problem in workers from different sectors. Exercise can contribute to preventing and reducing this phenomenon. Objective: To map exercise programs for work-related musculoskeletal pain. Review method: The JBI PCC (Participants, Concept, and Context) strategy will be used. A search will be carried out in CINAHL Complete, PubMed, Scopus, SciELO, PEDro, and SPORTDiscus databases. DART-Europe, OpenGrey, and RCAAP databases will be used to search unpublished studies. Studies published in English, Spanish, and Portuguese will be considered for inclusion and analysis. Two independent reviewers will select the studies and extract and synthesize the data. Presentation and interpretation of results: Data will be presented in a diagrammatic or tabular form, or using a descriptive summary. Conclusion: The mapping of exercise programs for preventing work-related musculoskeletal pain can lead to a reflection on the most appropriate programs and the identification of priority areas.
