Abstrakt: Evidence-based clinical decision-making is considered a core competency for professional nurses. However, barriers such as lack of time in clinical practice; information overload; restricted access to resources; lack of evidence appraisal skills, awareness, and knowledge; and unreliable resources prevent them from adopting evidence-based practice. This study examined the usefulness of the PubMed4Hh (PubMed for Handhelds) mobile application for clinical decision-making at the point of care among Maryland newly licensed RNs. Using iOS and Android smartphones, 178 newly licensed RNs participated in a 6-month trial from November 2019 to April 2020. Nurses manually entered free-text queries or used voice inputs on the "Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome" or "askMEDLINE" search engines. The results retrieved were presented as journal article abstracts or short summaries called "the bottom line," designed for quick reading at the point of care. Both Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome and askMEDLINE were rated highly for their usefulness, and participants said they would continue using PubMed4Hh and recommend it to others. Newly licensed RNs had a significantly higher perception of the usefulness of PubMed4Hh when the results of "the bottom line" or abstracts confirmed, led, or modified their nursing skills, knowledge, or the patient's care plan.
