RESUMO
BACKGROUND: It is unknown if completing educational modules on understanding, reviewing, and synthesizing research literature is associated with higher value of, attitudes toward, and implementation of evidence-based practices. METHOD: Nurses completed valid, reliable questionnaires on the value of, attitudes toward, and implementation of evidence-based practice 6 months after four educational modules were introduced. Multivariable modeling was used to learn associations of education modules and evidence-based practice themes. RESULTS: Of 1,033 participants, 54% completed at least one education module; 22% completed all modules. Value and attitude about evidence-based practice were moderately high, but implementation was low (mean = 15.15 ± 15.72; range = 0 to 72). After controlling for nurse characteristics and experiences associated with evidence-based practice value, attitudes, and implementation scores, education modules completion was associated with the implementation of evidence-based practice (p = .001), but not with value or attitude of evidence-based practices scores. CONCLUSION: Education on reviewing and synthesizing literature strengthened implementation of evidence-based practices. J Contin Educ Nurs. 2017;48(5):209-216.

Intense bladder control education failed to improve bladder control among patients who underwent a radical prostatectomy as treatment of their prostate cancer. Despite this educational intervention, participants continued to experience post-operative bladder control problems. Nurses need to develop and implement novel interventions that might enhance bladder control.
