Addressing the Missing Part of Evidence-based Practice: The Importance of Respecting Clinical Judgment in the Process of Adopting a New Screening Tool for Postpartum Depression.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine the role of nurse's clinical judgment in the uptake of an evidence-based tool assessing postpartum depression, the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale. Nurses in a home visitation program were being asked to regularly screen for postpartum depression. The screener was introduced as a new standard of practice for nurses. A qualitative investigation of the nurses' reactions in addition to an evidence-based screener was conducted. Prior to and during the implementation, several meetings were held with the nurses and the research team to discuss the nurses' experience with the tool. Nurses participated in semi-structured interviews and notes were reviewed to identify themes that may be useful in further understanding evidence-based practice in nurses' home visitation. It was found that the process of uptake included three phases: dissatisfaction with the utility of the tool; problem solving and integration of clinical judgment into a complementary instrument, and eventual reliance on the standardized tool. Respecting the nurses' field experience and clinical judgment was the key to the process of adoption of an evidence-based tool. The process uncovered here requires a larger scale study to see if this can be used across various settings and with differing screening mechanisms to increase comfort with the use of recommended non-health screening tools.
