Background: Evidence-based nursing (EBN) is an approach to make effective clinical decisions based upon personal clinical expertise and patient preferences and values in combination with the most current and relevant research and evidence available on the topic. This approach uses the evidence-based practice (EBP) as a foundation. In spite of extensive training in EBN for nursing students in Iran, appropriate articles have not been summarized suitably as to EBN's effectiveness. The present study aimed to systematically review the effectiveness of EBN education on the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of nursing students in Iran. Methods: For a systematic review on the topic, different searching methods were applied by searching on the following key words: training, learning, evidence-based nursing, nursing education in B.A. course, nursing students, workshop, knowledge, attitudes, skills, Iran. Their English equivalents were included. Databases that were searched included SID, Magiran, Medlib, Iranmedex, PubMed, Google Scholar, and CINAHL. We included studies that had recruited undergraduate nursing students, articles that had the key words in the titles, all studies conducted in Persian and English up to 2016, and the studies which used at least one educational intervention for evidence-based teaching. Results: Based on the results of automated and manual database searches of over 313 papers, 143 articles were eliminated by studying their titles based on not reporting teaching EBM to undergraduate nursing students, and 160 articles were removed based on content. In all, eight articles were related to the topic of the present study, indicating that EBN education promotes knowledge, attitudes, and skills of nursing students. Conclusion: This study found that EBN educational methods can promote knowledge, attitudes and skills in undergraduate nursing students, but the review does not reach a conclusion as to the advisability of one strategy.

Objective: The aim of this study is to modify the World Health Organization (WHO) Surgical Safety Checklist in order to be compatible to a hospital in Iran and measure effect of implementing this checklist on postoperative complications. Methods: In a cross-sectional study the views of surgeons and anesthesiologists of the main teaching hospital in Tabriz -Imam Reza Hospital-were taken by a form attached to the main checklist. The participants in this study asked to write their opinions on each item of checklist based on the environment of the hospital. Then, we performed before-after study to determine effect of a modified checklist implementing on postoperative complications. Results: Surgeons and anesthesiologists had consensus on 15 of 19 items of checklist to remain the same and just 4 items recommended to be changed. In pre intervention period of study, 100 patients (51 males and 49 females) were enrolled with the mean age of 48.5±13.5years. The number of patients in the post intervention period was the same, but 49 males and 51 females, the mean age was 47.5 ±14.6 years. The incidence of any complications in pre intervention period was 30%, but this rate in post intervention period was 12% and the difference between 2 periods of study was statistically significant (p=0.002). Conclusion: World Health Organization Surgical Safety Checklist is betterto modify based on the local needs and facilities in each hospital. After implementing of a modified surgical safety checklist, complications decreased by 58%.
