摘要

Editor's note: Reading research and incorporating valid research results into practice is a vital part of ensuring that perioperative nursing practice is evidence based. The AORN Research Evidence Appraisal Tool, which was adapted with permission from the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice Model and Guidelines, can help perioperative nurses evaluate research. This tool is used to evaluate the evidence upon which AORN's recommended practices are based. The tool can be used to appraise the level of evidence and quality of evidence for a single research study or a summary of multiple research studies. An abbreviated tool using only the sections of the tool relevant to the study appraised is included in this article. Each section of the tool is discussed to help readers understand why the study received a particular appraisal score and what that rating means to perioperative nursing practice. Clinical judgment should be used to determine whether the findings of an individual study are of value and relevance in a particular setting or patient care situation. Individuals intending to put this study's findings into practice are encouraged to review the original article to determine its applicability to their setting.
