Implementing Evidence-Based Practices in Hospitals: A Narrative Review of Implementer Roles and Project Attributes.
Review in Nursing research and practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Evidence-based nursing leads to improved care quality and patient outcomes; however, challenges with implementation prevent that from being achieved. In hospitals, nurses are well positioned across multiple organizational levels to influence the adoption of evidence-based practices (EBP). A better understanding of the roles of those who are serving as implementers of EBP changes in the hospital is needed. Purpose: This narrative review sought to answer: In hospitals, who (i.e., what roles) are the implementers of nursing-related EBP changes and what are the attributes of those EBP projects? This review aimed to describe (1) the roles and the organizational level of those implementing EBP changes in the hospital for nurses and (2) the attributes of the projects including, its location, the model used to guide the project, and the evaluation measures. Methods: An iterative, two-phased literature review was conducted. Categorical data were analyzed to achieve the aims. Findings: Across 158 articles, numerous roles, mostly nursing roles, spanning multiple organizational levels were described. The majority of articles described teams representing multiple levels ( Conclusion: This review identified the implementers of nursing-related practice changes and the attributes of the projects, which provides a rich description of some contextual elements that shape how EBP changes occur in hospitals. This new foundational knowledge can stimulate a systematic approach for improvement and optimization of the implementation process, both in practice and through research. This review highlights the need for tailored and role-specific skills, education, and competencies to equip implementers to lead collaborative and effective teams across hospital systems and maximize the impact of implementation.
