“…Data were collected by using a pre-tested, structured, and self-administered questionnaire, which was adapted from different works of literature [44][45][46][47][48]. The questionnaires were prepared in English and organized into four main sections: socio-demographic, individual-related factors, organization-related factors, and evidence-based practice questions.…”

Background Applying evidence-based practice during care provision is essential because it improves the quality of care, reduces health care costs, and increases patient and family satisfaction. However, information on evidence-based nursing practice and associated factors were not well studied and documented in the study area. Hence, this study aimed to assess utilization and associated factors of evidence-based practice among nurses working in Amhara Region Referral Hospitals, Ethiopia. Methods An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 18 to April 16, 2019, in Amhara Region Referral Hospitals. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 684 respondents. Data were collected using a pretested and self-administered questionnaire. Data were entered into Epi Info version 7.1.2.0 and exported to SPSS version 22.0 for analysis. The bivariable analysis was used primarily and variables with p-value < 0.2 were further examined using a multivariable logistic regression model to control con-founders. Then, variables’ p-value < 0.05 with 95% CI was used to determine associated factors. Results From 684 proposed nurses, 671 of them completed the questionnaire giving 98.1% response rate. Of these, 55% (95% CI: 51.2, 58.9) of them had good evidence-based practice utilization. Variables including single (AOR = 1.662: 95% CI: 1.089–2.536), fewer work experience (AOR = 1.849: 95% CI: 1.049–3.257), good knowledge (AOR = 2.044: 95% CI: 1.406–2.972), effective communication skill (AOR = 2.537: 95% CI: 1.744–3.689), EBP training (AOR = 3.224 95% CI: 1.957–5.311), internet access (AOR = 1.655: 95% CI: 1.119–2.448) and evidence-based guideline availability (AOR = 1.827: 95% CI: 1.249–2.673) were found to be predictors of evidence-based practice utilization. Conclusions The study revealed that evidence-based practice utilization among nurses is low. Availing evidence-based guidelines in the work area, improving facilities’ internet access, and building nurses’ evidence-based practice competencies through either by giving separate training or incorporating as part of the curriculum would improve its utilization.

“…Over the past decade, to improve the quality of care [7] and prevent the injury of acute diseases, and also reduction in the use of some unprofessional and ineffective methods much attention has been paid to the evidence-based clinical guidelines [8,9]. Evidence suggests that treatment with intravenous recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator(tPA) as a primary measure in the care of AIS can significantly reduce mortality and disability [10].…”

Introduction: Stroke is the most common cerebrovascular disease and the third most common cause of disability in the world. The study aimed to assess the knowledge of nurses in emergency departments based on evidence-based care guidelines in the acute phase of ischemic stroke. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was performed on 129 nurses working in emergency departments of 16 hospitals of Guilan University of Medical Sciences in 2017. Samples were selected randomly. The study tool was a questionnaire with 10 multiple choice questions about the care of acute phase of ischemic stroke patients. Data were analyzed by SPSS software ver. 21 using descriptive tests, ANOVA, T-test, Chi-square. Results: The mean of the participants’ knowledge about acute phase of ischemic stroke care was 40.07 ± 16.46. The highest response rate was related to the symptoms of stroke (85.27%). There was a significant relationship between the number of beds in the hospitals and the nurses' knowledge about beginning treatment of Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA) (P<0.005), optimal level of blood pressure prior to administering intravenous tPA (P<0.001), and recommended dosage of tPA (P<0.001) .Also, a significant relationship was reported between the number of beds in the emergency departments and the nurses' knowledge about optimal level of blood pressure prior to administering intravenous tPA (P<0.001), and recommended dosage of tPA (P<0.001). Conclusion: The nurses' knowledge was not satisfactory about the guideline of the acute stage of ischemic stroke. Therefore, provision of evidence-based continuing education courses and mandatory attendance of emergency nurses in these courses is recommended.

“…The limited number of epidemiological studies on the fatal accidents in foggy weather in Iran as well as the differences between our country and other countries in related dimensions such as different scienti c views (19)(20)(21) and different safety levels emphasize the need for undertaking such studies. These remarkable differences include vehicle type, availability and use of seatbelt and airbag, features of road design, driving styles and response time of emergency services (EMS) (22)(23)(24).…”

Objectives: Road fog can form suddenly which necessitates more caution by the researchers as well as drivers due to low vision and related morbidities and mortalities. This study aimed at determining the pattern of accidents in fog and the relationship between driver, road, and accident with injury level in Guilan, Iran from 2014 to 2018. Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive-analytical study that investigated all accidents that had occurred in Guilan from 2014 to 2018. All of the data were entered into STATA software. The time-series estimators were used as the multivariate regression model for the presence or absence of any relationship between variables.Results: In fog, the fatality rate of traffic accidents was significantly higher than other climatic conditions (IRR = 1.471). The likelihood of fatalities in fog decreased with age while it increased when drivers were female (p = 0.001). Most of the accidents in fog condition had occurred in December (p=0.000), February (p=0.001) and November (p=0.012). The number of related injuries at 2 AM (p = 0.032), 3 AM (p = 0.019), and 2 PM (p = 0.02) significantly reduced. Moreover, the rate of mortality at 2 AM (p = 0.005), 9 AM (p = 0.012), 11 AM (p = 0.004), 13 PM (p = 0.008) and 19 PM (p = 0.003) were significantly lower. The rate of injuries was significantly higher in Anzali (P = 0.042) and Rasht (P = 0.018), respectively.Conclusion: In the fog, the fatality rate was significantly higher than that of other conditions. The pattern of accidents in fog decreased with age and increased in accidents involving female drivers. Most of the fatal accidents had occurred in fog in November, January and February, respectively. Road accidents in Anzali and Rasht cities were more fatal.
