“…Perhaps as a result, APNs rarely participated in research or utilised data they had collected themselves (Butler, 2011;Harper et al, 2017). Frontline nurse leaders (FNL) found generating and synthesising evidence to be challenging (Koivunen et al, 2023), while most health educators believed their skills were proficient (Immonen et al, 2022). The competence gap between APNs and FNLs in the same region poses a significant challenge for healthcare organisations in implementing EBHC.…”

“…However, a higher level of education (Gerrish et al., 2011; Hellier & Cline, 2016; Van Roper, 2011) and the availability of an organisational research council may correlate positively with APNs' EBHC competencies (Harper et al., 2017). A higher level of education is associated with higher EBHC competence among nurses and health educators (Anderson et al., 2001; Furuki et al., 2023; Immonen et al., 2022). Effective education should be planned based on individual learning needs (De et al., 2017; Holloway et al., 2018).…”

“…While studies have explored the EBHC competence of nurses, educators, and leaders (Furuki et al, 2023;Immonen et al, 2022;Koivunen et al, 2023), no systematic review has been conducted on the level of EBHC competence of APNs and associated factors. This systematic review aims to identify, critically appraise and synthesise the EBHC competence and associated factors among APNs working in clinical practice.…”

BackgroundEvidence‐based healthcare (EBHC) enables consistent and effective healthcare that prioritises patient safety. The competencies of advanced practice nurses (APNs) are essential for implementing EBHC because their professional duties include promoting EBHC.AimTo identify, critically appraise, and synthesise the best available evidence concerning the EBHC competence of APNs and associated factors.DesignA systematic review.Data SourcesCINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, Medic, ProQuest, and MedNar.MethodsDatabases were searched for studies (until 19 September 2023) that examined the EBHC competence and associated factors of APNs were included. Quantitative studies published in English, Swedish and Finnish were included. We followed the JBI methodology for systematic review and performed a narrative synthesis.ResultsThe review included 12 quantitative studies, using 15 different instruments, and involved 3163 participants. The quality of the studies was fair. The APNs' EBHC competence areas were categorised into five segments according to the JBI EBHC model. The strongest areas of competencies were in global health as a goal, transferring and implementing evidence, while the weakest were generating and synthesising evidence. Evidence on factors influencing APNs' EBHC competencies was contradictory, but higher levels of education and the presence of an organisational research council may be positively associated with APNs' EBHC competencies.ConclusionThe development of EBHC competencies for APNs should prioritise evidence generation and synthesis. Elevating the education level of APNs and establishing a Research Council within the organisation can potentially enhance the EBHC competence of APNs.Implications for the ProfessionWe should consider weaknesses in EBHC competence when developing education and practical exercises for APNs. This approach will promote the development of APNs' EBHC competence and EBHC implementation in nursing practice.Registration, and Reporting ChecklistThe review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021226578), and reporting followed the PRISMA checklist.Patient/Public ContributionNone.

Advancements in information and communication technologies (ICT), big data analytics, and artificial intelligence- (AI-) based techniques brought a dramatic revolution in diverse research domains, including healthcare, IoT, and networking. Blockchain technologies are gaining traction from both private and government organizations at an incredible rate. Emerging technologies have different levels of technological complexities and commercial ramifications. This technology is playing an essential role in the financial revolution of banking and regulatory sectors. Blockchain has piqued the interest of many academics, organizations, and businesses, particularly in using bitcoin. To grasp the significance of this revolution, a comprehensive assessment is performed to bridge the gaps in the targeted blockchain-driven domain with different perspectives. For this systematic review process, a set of four distinct research questions were formulated to accumulate the most relevant research trends. In private and public organizations, it is a securing technology to deliver trustworthy and protected services to users because of its decentralized, controlled aspect. Financial services, real estate, supply chain management, healthcare, academics, and other industries benefit significantly from this evolutionary technology. These application cases are diverse and far-reaching, ranging from smart contracts to blockchain-encrypted educational certificates. This systematic analysis has investigated a total of 113 relevant articles and concluded with the features and functions in an economic setting and briefed how these variables can balance players’ incentives, define core blockchain-related features, and present new research ideas to solve the proposed risk.

“…With the dynamic and complex nature of today's health care work environment, midwifery and nursing educators face an increasing number of challenges in ensuring that these professionals possess the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes for competent patient care, as well as the capacity to adapt to change (De Leo, Bayes, Butt, Bloxsome, & Geraghty, 2021). Additionally, the process of learning and teaching evidence-based practice (EBP) provides signi cant hurdles for nursing and midwifery professionals and educators alike, as just supplying them with knowledge does not guarantee these professionals would feel capable of practicing EBP in their clinical settings (Cardoso et al, 2021;Immonen et al, 2022;Kyriakoulis et al, 2016). Accreditation guidelines for entry-level nursing and midwifery programs all anticipate that graduates will possess the necessary abilities and competences to solve clinical problems autonomously once they are licensed to practice (Dagne & Beshah, 2021).…”

Background: Although different approaches have been utilized for Evidence Based Practice teaching over the years, there’s paucity of literature on the efficacy of Problem Based Learning (PBL) as a teaching strategy for Evidence Based Practice (EBP) for nursing and midwifery professionals. The purpose of this review is to analyze, critically appraise, and synthesize evidence regarding the efficacy of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in training nursing and midwifery professionals on Evidence-Based Practice (EBP). Methods: High-quality systematic reviews and meta-analyses take great care to find all relevant studies, critically assess each study, synthesize the findings from individual studies in an unbiased manner, and present balanced important summary of findings with due consideration of any flaws in the evidence. The studies will be RCTs and Non RCTs which will be selected from PsychInfo, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), PubMed, EMBASE, ERIC, Cochrane Central. The study will be both narrative and quantitative synthesis. The quality of the included studies will be assessed through risk of bias assessment criteria. The population of this systematic review will consist of nursing and midwifery professionals who have been exposed to bachelor's and master's degree nursing and midwifery training on EBP utilizing the PBL method as opposed to other EBP teaching methods. In a global context, the result will be EBP competencies and the factors associated with application of EBP core competencies in clinical practice by nursing and midwifery professionals trained using PBL. This review will adhere to a priori criterion. The review's title has been registered in PROSPERO (No: CRD42023390989). Conclusion: To enhance the quality of EBP teaching for nursing and midwifery professionals, an up-to-date systematic review and meta-analysis of the efficiency of problem-based learning (PBL) as a teaching method for EBP and its influence on the key competencies of EBP is required.
