Abstract

Best evidence regarding enteral nutrition from continuous nasal feeding in stroke patients is limited. The aim of this study was to explore the best evidence of continuous nasal feeding in stroke patients and translate the evidence into clinical practice. This study utilized the standard procedures of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) evidence-based nursing centers' clinical evidence-practice application system. The baseline assessment of stroke patients in the neurology ward was conducted. A pre- and post-implementation audit approach was used in this study and adopted the Getting Research into Practice program. We analyzed the compliance of nurses with best practice and its impact on patients' gastrointestinal function and complications, aspiration, aspiration pneumonia, nurses' daily workload of nasal feeding, and the length of hospitalization before and after implementing the evidence-based strategies. After application of the evidence-based strategies, nurses' compliance with best practice was improved. The incidence of patients' gastrointestinal complications including vomit (χ2 = 5.195, P=0.023), palirrhea (χ2 = 4.216, P=0.039), diarrhea (χ2 = 4.514, P=0.042), constipation (χ2 = 5.535, P=0.035) and gastric retention (χ2 = 4.541, P=0.042) decreased significantly after the application of the best evidence. The working time of nurses undergoing nasal feeding decreased from 23.71 ±3.22 min to 7.73 ±1.14 min (P =0.000) and the length of patient's hospitalization decreased from 35.63 ±4.45 days to 35.00 ±3.70 days (P=0.534). The rate of aspiration, aspiration pneumonia did not show a significant difference after implementation of the evidence-based strategies. The results revealed that the evidence-based practice of continuous nasal feeding in stroke patients is an effective method to improve nursing quality and reduce gastrointestinal complications, which was worthy of clinical application.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 November 2020.
All research outputs
#20,662,373
of 23,257,423 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of General Medicine
#1,165
of 1,482 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#352,699
of 412,103 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of General Medicine
#21
of 31 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,257,423 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,482 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 412,103 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 31 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
