In 2018 Dr Carrier of @cardiffuni & Dr Mukwato of Uni of Zambia secured Global Challenges Research Funding from Cardiff University to undertake a project to improve evidence-based critical nursing care in Zambia through co-design & quality improvement using the PDSA model’.
The aim of the study was to promote sustainable health and well-being of critically ill patients admitted to an acute care ward in the University Teaching Hospital (UTH), Zambia, through implementation of small #EBN care interventions, known as ‘hacks’.
The 5-phase project commenced with a baseline audit of care (Phase 1). Phase 2 saw the audit results discussed at a collaborative workshop to share baseline information and agree on potential interventions, or hacks.
In Phase 3 Dr Carrier and Deborah Edwards completed rapid evidence reviews for the hacks. The 4 hacks were divided into 12 sub-areas (audit criteria) for implementation of evidence-based practice.
During Phase 4 the hacks were introduced to the ward area. An orientation seminar was held to introduce the planned changes and the project team provided ongoing support. Phase 5 comprised post-implementation audit.
The project met the set target of 95% improvement in 8 of the 12 sub-areas of implementation:
