Purpose The aim of this article is to provide detailed information on scoping reviews, including definition, related processes, and differences between scoping reviews and systematic reviews, and to discuss the limitations of scoping reviews.
Methods: This article briefly introduces the researchers to the purpose of a scoping review, methodological framework and related examples, limitations and useful tips for conducting a scoping review.
Results: A scoping review is a relatively new approach of evidence synthesis that provides an overview/map of the available research evidence without generating a summary estimation. Therefore, scoping reviews are particularly useful when a body of literature has not yet been comprehensively examined, or has a complex or heterogeneous phenomena unsuitable for conducting systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence.
Conclusion: Because of the variability in the methods of performing scoping review, there is a need for methodological standardization to improve the utility and robustness of review findings.

PURPOSE This study was conducted to identify factors associated with oncology nurses' adherence to Chemotherapy-Induced Neutropenia (CIN) guidelines based on Pender's Health Promotion Model (HPM). METHODS For this cross-sectional descriptive study, 187 nurses who worked at the oncology department of Channam National University Hawsun Hospital responded to self-administered questionnaires. A tool for CIN guideline adherence was developed through systematic search, synthesis, translation, and content validation. Data collection was conducted by a trained research assistant from September 18 to September 26, 2017. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression. RESULTS Stepwise multiple regression showed that guideline adherence was associated with CIN education (β=.26, p<.001), self-efficacy (β=.17, p=.018), perceived benefits (β=.16, p=.026), interpersonal factors (β=.16, p=.043), and educational level (β=.14, p=.030). CONCLUSION The findings of this study could be used to develop interventions focusing on CIN education and for the strengthening oncology nurses' self-efficacy and beliefs to promote adherence to CIN guidelines. In addition, repeated studies would be needed to verify application of Pender's HPM to explain nurses' adherence.
PURPOSE This study aimed to develop evidence-based nursing practice guidelines for pain management in patients with dementia and to verify their effects. METHODS Guidelines were developed according to the Clinical Practice Guideline Adaptation Manual. Additionally the quality of six guidelines was evaluated using the AGREE (Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation) tool. Subsequently, the guidelines were translated into Korean and a preliminary set of guidelines was established. After a group of experts confirmed the content validity of the guidelines, the Korean version was applied to clinical settings for 4 weeks, to examine their applicability. Data was collected from April to August 2017. The dependent variables were nurses' knowledge and attitudes about pain management in patients with dementia, pain assessment frequency, use of pharmacological and nonpharmacological intervention to reduce pain, and subjective and objective pain scores of patients with dementia. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test, and analysis of covariance with SPSS/WIN 22.0. RESULTS Nurses in the experimental group had a higher degree of knowledge and more positive attitudes regarding pain management, and they reported a higher frequency of pain assessment as compared to those in the control group. As compared to patients in the control group, those in the experimental group had more days of regular treatment with analgesics and were provided with a higher analgesics dose as well as more frequently received physical and relaxation therapies. The two groups did not show significant differences in subjective and objective pain scores. CONCLUSION The present findings indicates that the evidence-based guidelines for pain management developed in this study were effective in helping nurses and patients with dementia to resolve their pain for which they were currently seeking treatment.

PURPOSE Nurses lead Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in the healthcare system. To facilitate the evidence-based nursing process, nurses must have the knowledge and skills to formulate clinical questions in a searchable format. The purpose of this study was to develop an e-learning program on steps of EBP, especially focusing on clinical questioning to assess its effects. METHODS This research utilized a quasi-experimental study with a nonequivalent control group pre-post test design. The experimental group was provided an e-learning program with case-based animation. The control group was provided written material about EBP. The e-learning program was performed from October to November 2015. To evaluate the effects of the program, knowledge of EBP, attitude towards EBP, practice of EBP, clinical questioning confidence, and clinical questioning knowledge were evaluated. RESULTS There were significant differences in attitude towards EBP (t=2.08, p=.042), practice of EBP (t=2.06, p=.044), clinical questioning confidence (t=2.05, p=.045) and clinical questioning knowledge (t=2.08, p=.042). However, there was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups in knowledge of EBP (t=1.20, p=.237). CONCLUSION The e-learning program with case-based animation was an effective method to provide the EBP education to nurses. Further researches are needed to disseminate the case-based education to nurses and nursing students and to develop more diverse educational media.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to develop evidence-based nursing practice guidelines for cold application in adult care. METHODS The study procedure was based on the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network and Korean Hospital Nurses Association's guideline development methods. The evidence review procedures included targeted searches from databases including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, KoreaMed, KERIS and NDSL. The initial search yielded 6,426 articles published from 2006 to 2016. Based on the screening process, 147 articles were selected and systematically reviewed. From evidence summaries of 20 clinical questions, recommendations were formulated and graded. Draft recommendation were evaluated through external review. RESULTS The guidelines consisted of 10 domains and 27 recommendations. The content validity index of the recommendations was above .80. Major recommendations include 1) applying external cooling to reduce acute pain, edema, and hemorrhage, 2) selecting cooling instruments based on the purpose, patient's condition, and preference, 3) preparing and maintaining cooling instruments at an adequate temperature, and 4) intermittent cold application for appropriate durations with sufficient recovery time. CONCLUSION These guidelines can be utilized in both clinical and community settings to help narrow the gaps between nursing practices.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to explore how knowledge management of hospital and nurses' beliefs and competences on evidence-based practice can affect evidence-based decision making. METHODS In this descriptive study, a total of 184 nurses who were working in the five general hospitals participated. The data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire in September, 2014. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and step-wise multiple regression with SPSS/WIN Statistics 21.0 program. RESULTS Evidence-based decision making was correlated with EBP beliefs (r=.55, p<.001), EBP competence (r=.57, p<.001), and knowledge management (r=.50, p<.001). Hierarchical regression analysis showed that EBP beliefs (β=.18, p=.005), EBP competence (β=.37, p<.001), organizational knowledge management (beta=.27, p<.001) explained 48.6% of evidence based decision making (p<.001). CONCLUSION The study results indicated that evidence-based practice competences, organizational knowledge management, and evidence-based practice beliefs were important factors on evidence-based decision making. In order to improve evidence-based practice among nurses through organizational knowledge management, EBP beliefs and competence at individual level need to be considered and incorporated into any systemic training of EBP.

PURPOSE This study was designed to develop, to implement and evaluate a fever management nursing protocol for adult patients. METHODS This study was conducted through seven steps following both the guideline development procedures of the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network and the Model of the Asan Medical Center Evidence-Based Practice, as follows: 1) identifying the clinical needs and composition of the protocol development group; 2) identifying and evaluating the evidence; 3) assessing the level of evidence and grading recommendations; 4) forming a protocol; 5) evaluating the protocol using an expert group validity test and identifying barriers to its implementation; 6) protocol development; and 7) evaluation of practical improvement measures following implementation of the protocol. RESULTS The evidence-based protocol for fever management in adult patients was completed and includes five domains and 15 items. The protocol had good content validity (CVI=.90) and nursing practice could be improved after implementation of the protocol. CONCLUSION This nursing protocol can be used as a guide for nursing in febrile adult patients. We recommend that further guidelines be updated in an interdisciplinary manner in order to foster local adaptation of the best clinical practices.

PURPOSE This study developed a program to facilitate evidence-based practice (EBP) in one nursing organization, and identifies the effects of the program on the nurses' EBP facilitators. METHODS The program was based on the Transtheoretical Model of stages of organizational change, a literature review, the cases of hospitals overseas, and a prior study. To identify the effects of the program, a one-group pretest-posttest study was conducted with 45 nurses who participated in the EBP implementation. RESULTS The program consisted of EBP educational sessions, consultations with academic nursing faculty and clinical EBP mentors, and support from the administration and relevant departments. After the EBP program, there was a statistically significant difference in belief in the value of EBP between the pretest and the posttest (t=2.31, p=.026). However, no significant differences were found between the pretest and the posttest for organizational support to develop EBP (t=0.62, p=.537), skills in locating and evaluating research reports (s=-1.00, p=.987), knowledge of research language and skills (s=-1.00, p=.986), and time to devote to EBP (s=-23.00, p=.711). CONCLUSION The findings provide important data that can be used to develop and implement strategies for enhancing EBP in clinical settings in Korea.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to offer the baseline data for developing a systematic and high quality of clinical practice guideline by exploring how nurses utilize clinical guidelines and what they need for. METHOD This study has been done with 242 nurses of a university hospital in Daegu using a self-administered questionnaire. The instrument used in this study was developed by researchers based on the results of the previous studies. Data analysis was done with SPSS 11.0 Program. RESULTS Nurses felt that clinical guidelines were not sufficiently disseminated to update their clinical knowledge education. Nurses showed the strong demand for developing clinical practice guidelines with the newest and systematic evidence. However, a relatively low number of nurses knew evidence-based nursing and evidence-based clinical guidelines. CONCLUSION It is necessary to develop an educational program for evidence-based nursing and an evidence-based nursing clinical practice guideline for nurses and to explore the strategies for development and dissemination of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to solve the urgent and frequent clinical problems.
