Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of the implementation of the best evidence in preventing postoperative sore throat in patients undergoing general anesthesia intubation.
Methods: The related topics of the postoperative sore throat of patients undergoing general anesthesia intubation were systematically searched in the database and evaluated using the Integrated Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (i-PARIHS) framework. Combined with clinical needs and evidence-based professional judgment, 20 pieces of evidence and 6 examination standards on the management process and evidence implementation plan for the prevention of postoperative sore throat in patients with general anesthesia intubation are summarized, implementing the best evidence into clinical practice in anesthesiology, general surgery, orthopedics, thoracic surgery, and gynecology.
Results: Nurses' knowledge scores and evidence compliance significantly improved after the implementation of the best evidence (P < 0.05); the incidence of the postoperative sore throat in patients undergoing general anesthesia intubation decreased from 41.7% to 28.1%.
Conclusion: The i-PARIHS framework effectively prevents postoperative sore throat in patients, providing an effective case for translating evidence into practice based on the i-PARIHS framework.
