Abstract
Background: The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) in the UK has a long-standing and well-respected national guideline development programme. In addition to developing its own national clinical guidelines, the RCN is host to the National Collaborating Centre for Nursing and Supportive Care (NCC-NSC) which is committed to a programme of work to develop clinical guidelines on behalf of the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE). This poster, which is part 1 of a series of three, will demonstrate the use of a variety of Cochrane reviews in guideline development as well as key considerations.
Objective: To demonstrate the use of Cochrane reviews in guideline development.
Methods: Guidelines considered include:
Published RCN and NCC-NSC clinical guidelines:
Infection Control; Prevention of healthcare associated infection in primary and secondary care (2003) (NCC-NSC)
The assessment and prevention of falls in older people (2004) (NCC-NSC)
Violence: The short term management of disturbed/violent behaviour in psychiatric inpatients and emergency departments (2005) (NCC-NSC)
The recognition and assessment of acute pain in children (2001) (RCN)
Pressure ulcer risk assessment and prevention (2001) (RCN)
The management of patients with venous leg ulcers (1998) (RCN)
Pressure relieving devices; the use of pressure relieving devices (beds, mattresses and overlays) for the prevention of pressure ulcers in primary and secondary care (2003) (NCC-NSC)
Guidelines under development:
Peri-operative fasting in adults and children (RCN)
The management of pressure ulcers in primary and secondary care (NCC-NSC)
The prevention and treatment of surgical site infection (NICE)
Osteoporosis; Assessment of fracture risk and the prevention of osteoporotic fractures in individuals at high risk (NCC-NSC)
This poster (part 1) will consider:
The aims of a clinical guideline
Who guidelines are for
Methods of development
The role of the Guideline Development Group
Levels of evidence
Benefits and disadvantages of using Cochrane reviews in guideline development
