IBP and its practice in health care promote also many advantages, such as improvements of practices based on the attitudes and cognitive ideas. This study aims to assess the inquiry based on evidence (IBP) and its practices in two Health Care Facilities (HCFs) of Bujumbura to help the practitioners to understand its importance. <strong>Methods:</strong> A cross-sectional study design was used to analyze the importance of IBP and its practice in these two hospitals. The probability-sampling technique was used also to select 104 nurses from the Military Hospital of Kamenge and 55 nurses from the Van Norman Clinic. A questionnaire was used to collect data with two mains components, demographic data and knowledge and attitudes addressing the following parameters: evidence practice during inquiry, nursing theory, current analysis in nursing care oriented the evidence, prioritization of care, rational diagnostic, monitoring and assessment. <strong>Results:</strong> The findings from this study revealed a poor knowledge and attitude among participants towards Inquiry Based Practice. In all variables, participants were scoring less than 10%. However, majority of participants (76.5%) know the indicators of patients’ satisfaction with nursing interventions through survey-based practice and 74.1% argued to analyze their information collected. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> This study revealed a weak awareness on IBP and its importance during nursing practice among participants as for almost all variables, participants were scoring less than 10%, except for the indicators of patients’ satisfaction with nursing interventions through survey-based practice (76.5%). Therefore, in-service training and curriculum revision had been highlighted and recommended another to provide the best rational diagnosis and achieve the patient’s outcomes.展开更多

It is very important during nursing practice in healthcare facilities (HCFs) because it guides nurses on how to collect data, which data to collect, decide how to interpret the data through the perspective of the theorist, how to plan and implement care, how to make a change and how to evaluate the patient’s outcomes. This study aims to illustrate how nursing theory can be applied during the implementation of nursing care in HCFs of Burundi by orienting the nurses to understand its application during practice. <strong>Methods: </strong>A cross-sectional study design was used to assess the use of nursing theories in healthcare facilities. A purposive sampling method was used also to select 81 nurses working full and part by applying Alain Bouchard’s formula and the questionnaire was used as the data collection instrument. <strong>Results:</strong> The current study had revealed a poor knowledge among the participants on the use of nursing theory in these two HCFs as for all variables, their average scores were almost 24.1% whilst those who had no notion related to nursing theory reach a percentage of 75.9%. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>The study findings were slightly poor as for all variables, they scored less than 40%. Therefore, the use of theories to guide their practice was highly recommended to enhance the patients’ outcomes based on the use of scientific-based experts which could result from continuous education.展开更多
