Barriers and facilitators of the nurse providing evidence-based preoperative visit-care for transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a mixed-methods study based on an evidence application setting

The study indicated that the nurses' compliance of evidence-based practice in preoperative visit-care for TAVR was in lower level. There were some factors influencing the application of the evidences. The study revealed potential modifiable barriers to the successful implementation of evidence-based preoperative visit-care, including a lack of preoperative visit- care routine, related knowledge and training. Leadership support and nurse training should be considered to improve nurses' compliance with evidence-based practice.
