A Randomized Controlled Trial Provides Evidence to Support Aromatherapy to Minimize Anxiety in Women Undergoing Breast Biopsy
This study was conducted in women undergoing image‐guided breast biopsy. We explored the use of two different aromatherapy scents, compared to placebo, aimed at reducing anxiety with the intent of generating new knowledge. MethodsThis was a randomized, placebo‐controlled study of two different types of external aromatherapy tabs (lavender‐sandalwood and orange‐peppermint) compared with a matched placebo‐control delivery system. Anxiety was self‐reported before and after undergoing a breast biopsy using the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory Scale. Results and FindingsEighty‐seven women participated in this s...

Interventions Promoting Breast Cancer Screening Among Turkish Women With Global Implications: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT BackgroundBreast cancer is a major health concern and remains the most common malignancy in women worldwide and in Turkey. Mammography, clinical breast examination (CBE), and breast self‐examination (BSE) are recommended methods to detect early breast cancer in women. Many strategies have been developed to increase the rates of mammography, CBE, and BSE among Turkish women. Despite the benefits of breast cancer screening, these modalities are still underutilized by the majority of Turkish women. AimTo systematically review the scientific evidence on the effectiveness of various strategies aimed at improving scre...

The Relationship of Physiopsychosocial Factors and Spiritual Well ‐Being in Elderly Residents: Implications for Evidence‐Based Practice
This study results confirm the effect of physiopsychosocial factors on institutionalized older adults’ spiritual well‐being. However, the presence and level of functional disability do not necessarily influence spiritual well‐being in late life unless it is disruptive to social relationships and is thus bound to lead to low perceived social support and the onset of depression. Linking Evidence to ActionThe findings address the fact that the practice of spirituality is multidimensional and multileveled. Psychosocial interventions for institutionalized elders with disabilities should focus on increasing nurse‐patient...

Implementation of Evidence ‐Based Practice From a Learning Perspective
ConclusionAchieving a more EBP depends on both adaptive and developmental learning, which involves both forming EBP‐conducive habits and breaking clinical practice habits that do not contribute to realizing the goals of EBP. Linking Evidence to ActionFrom a learning perspective, EBP will be best supported by means of adaptive learning that yields a habitual practice of EBP such that it becomes natural and instinctive to instigate EBP in appropriate contexts by means of seeking out, critiquing, and integrating research into everyday clinical practice as well as learning new interventions best supported by empirical eviden...
