Effect assessment of the application value of evidence-based nursing intervention in operating room nursing: A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background:The advantages of evidence-based nursing (EBN) intervention in health care settings have been widely disseminated to nurses throughout the world. More researches are reporting the effectiveness of EBN intervention in operating room nursing. However, the results are inconsistent. This study focuses on conducting a meta-analysis and systematic evaluation aimed at determining the usefulness of EBN intervention in operating room nursing.Methods:The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis for Protocols criteria were used to write this paper. We will look for relevant studies from 2 Chinese databases (China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang database and also from 3 English databases such as Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and EMBASE), to locate all relevant randomized controlled trials and observational studies assessing the application value of EBN intervention in operating room nursing from their commencement to June 2021. Separately, 2 authors will choose the studies, do the data extract and conduct the assessment probing into the likelihood of bias. If there is a disagreement, it will be resolved by the third author. RevMan 5.3 software and Stata 15.0 software will be used to conduct the meta-analysis.Results:The usefulness of EBN intervention in operating room nursing will be assessed in this study.Conclusion:The purpose of this research is to conclude the value of EBN intervention in operating room nursing and the quality of current data.Ethics and dissemination:Since there is no requirement for data on the individual patient, hence there will be no need for ethical approval.OSF Number:DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/MSXNF
