| Annotation | A survey was undertaken in Ontario, Canada on: the prevalence of awareness and use of practice guidelines in chronic care and long-term care facilities; the opinions of staff about clinical conditions or problems important for developing clinical practice guidelines; and the factors that promote change in clinical practice. 40% of facilities responding were aware of evidence-based guidelines, while only 21.6% were using them. They were being used most in government-funded agencies, then in acute care facilities with chronic care beds and nursing homes, and least in non-government funded agencies. The clinical problems which agencies felt were important for guideline development were behavioural problems, continence, feeding problems, and problems with skin-care. (RH). |
