This scoping review, conducted within the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) framework, analysed the recent literature (January 2018 to March 2023) addressing factors inherent to professional practice environments and organisational contexts influencing nurses’ adoption of evidence-based practice (EBP). This review included studies involving nurses regardless of sector, practice setting, and scope of practice. A systematic search was undertaken across the PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, and MEDLINE databases, as well as the EThOS, OATD, and RCAAP platforms. The extracted textual elements underwent a content analysis, resulting in a coding structure established through an inductive approach that categorised information into main categories and subcategories linked by similarity and thematic affinity. Forty-one studies were included, revealing four main categories of factors impacting EBP adoption by nurses: (1) organisational dynamics, (2) management and leadership, (3) teamwork and communication, and (4) resources and infrastructure. The study’s limitations acknowledge the subjective nature of categorisation, recognising potential variations based on individual perspectives despite adopting procedures to minimise the risk of bias. The results provide a substantial foundation for developing interventions to cultivate environments conducive to EBP adoption by nurses, thereby enhancing the integration of evidence into nurses’ professional practice contexts. This review was prospectively registered on the Open Science Framework (registration no. osf.io/e86qz).

Medication errors have serious consequences and high costs for the patient and the system. The treatment process and the care required for critically ill patients are complex, and these patients are more vulnerable to errors and potential consequences. A scoping review using the JBI methodology was conducted across PubMed, CINAHL, and MEDLINE databases and reported by the PRISMA-ScR guidelines to explore strategies that can mitigate medication errors by nurses. The search strategy focused on references published between January 2012 and April 2023. Sixteen studies were included, and the results were organized into thematic areas. Medication errors by nurses are in the areas of preparation, administration, and documentation; organizational, system-related, procedural, personal, and knowledge and training factors are predisposing factors for errors; educational intervention, verification and safety methods, organizational changes, and error reporting are the strategic areas to mitigate medication error. The organization of the data could be different, as it depends on the reviewers’ experience. Knowledge of the factors that cause medication errors and interventions to mitigate them make it possible to outline strategies to minimize their occurrence and achieve health gains. The protocol preceding this review has been registered in the Open Science Framework and published.

Medication errors represent a concern for healthcare organizations due to their negative consequences. In the nursing context, these errors represent a threat to the quality of care and patient safety. Many factors have been identified as potential causes for these errors in intensive care units. A scoping review will be developed to identify interventions/strategies to minimize the occurrence of medication errors by nurses, considering the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology. A search will be conducted in the EbscoHost (CINAHL Complete and MEDLINE), Embase and PubMed databases. Data analysis, extraction and synthesis will be carried out by two reviewers independently. This review will attempt to map which interventions are more specific to minimizing medication error by nurses in intensive care and to recognize which factors influence this type of error to mitigate practices that may lead to error. This protocol acts as the framework for a scoping review in the strategy to map the interventions and which factors contribute to the medication error by intensive care nurses. This study was prospectively registered with the Open Science Framework on 21 April 2023 with registration number DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/94KH3.

Ntroduction: Tele-nursing provides remote nursing care through the use of information and communication technologies. Tele-nursing makes it possible to watch, monitor and make decisions remotely through the exchange of information and inter-professional collaboration, improving access and the quality of care. This tool requires nurses with specialized skills in the area of the critically ill patient to guarantee the safety of the care. Objective: To map the evidence on tele-nursing in the approach to people in critical situations in out-of-hospital settings and emergency services. Methods: Scoping Review according to the methodology of the Joanne Briggs Institute (JBI). The search strategy will map published and unpublished studies. The databases included will be: PUBMED, CINAHL via EBSCO, JBI Library of Systematic Reviews, COCHRANE Library of Systematic Reviews, Scielo, Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal, Dans-Easy, Lilacs and B-On. This review will include articles focusing on tele-nursing in the approach to the critically ill person in an out-of-hospital setting and in the emergency department. The studies included will be quantitative, qualitative or mixed designs, systematic reviews and guidelines. Expected Results: The aim is to identify the evidence on tele-nursing in the approach to people in critical situations in out-of-hospital settings and emergency services, which will be presented descriptively and through tables designed to meet the study's objective. Conclusion: The results will demonstrate the role that tele-nursing plays with the critically ill person in an out-of-hospital and emergency department setting, raising awareness of the significant gains it brings to the provision of care.
