Abstract
This study aimed to explore Jordanian nurses' perspectives on the implementation of evidence-based practice and team-working related to nutritional care in the critically ill. Poor adherence to evidence-based practice and poor collaboration may contribute to nutritional failure. Fourteen critical care nurses from three healthcare sectors in Jordan were selected purposively and interviewed using semi-structured interviews. The information obtained was subjected to a thematic analysis. Four themes emerged from the study: 'undertaking nutritional responsibilities', 'approaching evidence-based practice', 'multidisciplinary team working' and 'consequences of enteral nutrition care deficits'. Although evidence-based practice was emphasised by nurses, lack of evidence-based resources, and ineffective aspiration reduction measures were found to impede adherence to evidence-based practice. Multidisciplinary team working was introduced as means to improve practice. However, ineffective nursing involvement and poor interaction were obstacles to effective sharing.
